This is the fourth in a series of twelve linked patterns for a knitted wreath, to be published daily in December 2013.

This pattern is for strings of ivy – five leaves joined to a long stem. These are useful for filling gaps on the wreath. Instructions are given for two sizes of leaf, 7 and 6 cm long; use them separately or together. 50g of DK weight yarn will make about 14 big leaves and 21 small.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
