It is spring time and leaves are bursting out of their buds all around us. I took this as inspiration to create a whimsical leaf pendant that you can add to your key chain, rucksack, bag or whatever you like.

These Take a Leaf Pendants are knit in the round in st st, and only take very little time to knit up. They are not overly complicated and fun to knit. They are simple, yet whimsical and make a great addition to your nature inspired outfits.

This is a written pattern, there are no charts provided.

The leaves you see in the photos are knitted with sock yarn and 2,5mm needles. That way the leaves and all are about 12cm long. But really you could use any yarn and the corresponding needles, that will affect the size though.

You will need only a few grams of yarn, so it’s perfect for those leftovers from bigger projects.

Eager beginner

• knit in the round using dpns
• work increases such as m1l
• work decreases such as ssk and k2tog
• how to knit stockinette stitch
• how to yarn over
• how to knit I-cord (this is explained in the pattern)

This does not mean, that you have to know all of these techniques. If you know most of them, see it as an opportunity to learn something new =)

• a few grams of yarn
• 3 DPNs size 2.5 mm (you can also use a cirular needle to knit this).
• a stitch holder or scrap yarn to hold some sts.
• scissors to cut your yarn with.
• a needle to weave in the ends.
