Product Details

For many the gum leaf symbolises the essence of Australia. It is, without a doubt, Australia's most significant tree species.

These true-to-size gum leaves have a myriad of uses beyond the decorative. They make the most beautiful book marks. The double-sided beauties are a super quick and fun knit, with a couple of interesting techniques thrown in. Slipped stitches help to create smooth edges and a midrib. Surface slip stitch finished this midrib on the other side creating a truly double-sided appearance.

Construction:

These leaves begin with an i-cord stem, before increasing to the garter stitch leaf. Increases, decreases and slipped stitches are used to create and shape a realistic life-sized leaf.

Instructions fr two different sizes are included.
