What a simple way to transform your little one’s bedroom!

Simply attach a beautiful kite - or two - to their walls or hang them from the ceiling to create an instant impact.

Please note that your kite should be hung or attached well out of reach to avoid it posing a strangulation or choking hazard.

The ButterflyLove pdf Kite knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions and handy hints along the way. The finished kite will be 6.5 inches high and 6 inches wide (excluding the tail).

This pattern only involves knitting flat and is suitable for a beginner or intermediate knitter. It’s also a great way to use up those odd ball ends you have lying around the place!

You can contact me at any point if you need technical advice or have any other queries.

2 knitting needles (US2/2.75mm or size required to match tension advice)
10-15g DK yarn in each of two colors for the kite
10g white DK yarn for the tail
Yarn oddments for the bows
