Full instructions are provided for a wide variety of flowers including the 'White Garden Lily', the 'Snow Drop' and 'Narcissus', making this a lovely addition to the bookshelf of any knitting enthusiast. By following the simple rules here given, a few skeins of wool and a little wire, suffice to form accurate representations of natural flowers, which will be found an elegant and interesting amusement. As these flowers can be washed, they not only form pretty ornaments for the room in vases, but from their durability, could be used for trimming dresses; the smaller kinds also, if knitted in silk, look well in bonnets or caps.
