The first pattern is one of two that I literally forgot I had!!! The other one I forgot is Steinrose, which hopefully will get published in the coming months. The Star Flower is part of my baby blanket series, and is the least interesting one, but is still pretty interesting in that it begs to be knitted with different colors. I just can’t decide on a specific combination for more than five minutes. I did not include instructions for borders worked in i-cord or picot hem bind off. However, am sure there are plenty of resources on the interweb.

Thought I’d retrieve this from the dustbin of history…
As well as a shawl (see last photo below), the original pattern could also be made into a bedspread.

Close up of Section With Nupps Knitted By Ulla 777
Test Swatch of 1 Set of Nupps Knitted By Doilyhead
Nupps aren't the only thing that makes this pattern textured, all of the small leaves, and some of the large leaves are composed of right-twisted stitches! This being extra work, I tend to prefer Barbara Walker's method of "Knit 2 together, knit the 1st stitch again, drop both from left needle", as opposed to the Niebling usual "Knit 2nd stitch, knit 1st stitch, drop both from left needle". Walker invented the method because the twisted stitch stand out more, and I like it because it is easier to knit.
As for the nupps, after translating the original instructions, which read:
Noppe = Man zieht den Faden 3 Mal liefer hindurch, legt die Schlinge auf die linke Nadel und strickt diese rechts ab. In gleicher Weise wiederholt man nach 4 mal. Dann strickt diese 5 Masche mit der N bezeichneten Masche rechts zusammen.
I did a test swatch and discovered that since the thread is drawn multiple times through the same stitches, it is easier to draw the thread under the strand between the stitches rather than through the center of the stitch((es) in the round(s) below.

"Fuschias" (one of many patterns with same name). It wants to become one or two purses of some sort. For Purchase Page CLICK HERE
"Glockenblume" — Not the baby blankets, but perhaps this will push me to finally recruit test knitters for them… Meanwhile, I already made this into a beret, but am looking for a nicer border. Meanwhile, for Purchase Page CLICK HERE
"Magnolie" another name used more than once… This pattern would make a nice lamp shade or parasol cover… For Purchase Page CLICK HERE.
