Love is never wasted (and yarn is never wasted)!

It is another tiny decoration, just in time to create knitted gifts for the people you love! Either use it for a neatly wrapped present or arrange it together with classical Easter decorations.

This pattern is a good possibility to use tiny leftovers from your stash. Choose a neutral light color (LC) and combine it with a pastel colored yarn (DC) to create this lovely Easter decoration.

The pattern is a perfect chance to learn and practice brioche stitches. If you never tried brioche before, maybe this little project is a good challenge. There are only 14 pattern rows to be knit, all other rows are straight brioche knitting. So don´t be afraid of brioche knitting any longer. You don´t have to be.

The pattern can be knit in multiple sizes only by changing needle size and gauge; Block the finished work to smooth stitches. The directions are written and pattern charts are available too.

By the way- if you use DK weight yarn and repeat the pattern rows from Row10 RS LC to Row 21 WS DC several times, it will become a wonderful headband :)
