I just love sea anemones. Not only are they cute, they’re also deceptive little critters actually being animals, rather than the plants they so much resemble.

The ButterflyLove pdf Sea Anemone Garden knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions. It is suitable for a intermediate knitter and can be easily adapted to make your own unique little garden. You can also contact me at any point if you need technical advice or have any other queries. If working to the recommended tension, the finished sea anemones will range from approximately 1 inch - 3 inches high (2.5cm - 7.5cm) excluding tentacles. The stones will range from 2.75 inches - 4,25 inches (7cm - 11cm) in diameter.
