Knitting for Faeries
I am (slowly) teaching myself to knit, and of course wanting to combine my love of Faerie with this new passion, I have been on the look out for fantasy-inspired patterns. I am most taken with the Fairy Castles from Tiny Owl Knits. Not only are they adorable, but they are also practical – the roofs lift off and they unroll to store all your knitting needles and crochet hooks.
There are some lovely crocheted baby booties on StudioKnits, from curly toed pixie boots to dainty butterfly adorned slippers for baby fairies. For little flower fairies I also love the Bluebell and Rose dress patterns. And the amazing Knitty archives have two free patterns that caught my eye – Sally the Eco-Fairy, a vintage style doll, and the very Miyasaki-inspired Woodins, complete with tree stump home.
I’d love suggestions for other suitably Faerie-inspired patterns… please leave a comment if you can think of any!
