How to Knit a Double Layer 3D Flower ?

Knitting a  Double Layer 3D flower involves creating two separate layers of petals and then joining them together. Below is a basic pattern for a knitted double-layer 3D flower. This pattern assumes that you have basic knitting skills.

Materials:

• Yarn in your choice of color
• Knitting needles appropriate for your yarn weight
• Yarn needle for sewing

Abbreviations:

• k: knit
• p: purl
• k2tog: knit two stitches together
• yo: yarn over
• st(s): stitch(es)

Instructions:

Outer Petals (Make 5):

1. Cast on 9 stitches.
2. Row 1: (Right side)
   • k1, (yo, k2tog) twice, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1 (13 stitches).
3. Row 2:
   • purl all stitches.
4. Row 3:
   • k1, (yo, k2tog) three times, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1 (17 stitches).
5. Rows 4-9:
   • Repeat Rows 2-3 three times (33 stitches after Row 9).
6. Bind off:
   • Bind off all stitches.

Inner Petals (Make 5):

1. Cast on 7 stitches.
2. Row 1: (Right side)
   • k1, (yo, k2tog) twice, yo, k1, yo, k1 (11 stitches).
3. Row 2:
   • purl all stitches.
4. Row 3:
   • k1, (yo, k2tog) twice, yo, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1 (15 stitches).

Assembly:

1. Stack the Petals:
   • Place one inner petal on top of one outer petal. Align the edges.
2. Sew the Petals:
   • Using the yarn needle, sew the inner and outer petals together along the edges. Repeat for the remaining petals.
3. Form the Flower:
   • Arrange the petals in a circle, overlapping slightly. Sew them together at the base.
4. Secure the Flower:
   • Make sure all the petals are securely sewn together. Weave in any loose ends.

This basic pattern creates a double-layer 3D flower, but feel free to customize it by adjusting the number of petals or incorporating different stitch patterns. Additionally, you can experiment with colors to create a more vibrant and unique flower.
