Begin decreasing for the crown as follows<br /><br />K 7, k 2 tog<br /><br />K 6, k 2 tog<br /><br />K 5, k 2 tog<br /><br />K 4, k 2 tog<br /><br />K 3, k 2 tog <br /><br />K 2, k 2 tog<br /><br />K 1, k 2 tog<br /><br />(this is where I switch to green)<br /><br />Then keep in stockinette until the stem is as long as you like. I normally leave about 6 stitches on the needle so the stem doesn't look "pointy" then just cast off the 6 left on the needle.<br /><br />How to make the Leaves:<br /><br />On size 3 needles cast on 3 stitches and work 2 rows in garter stitch,<br /><br />Continue in garter stitch increasing at each end of the next two rows (7 stitches).<br /><br />Work 5 rows, then decrease 1 stitch at each end for the next 2 rows (3 stitches).<br /><br />slip the next stitch to other needle, knit 2 together, and bind off.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19003162-113208684531124570?l=brooksfreepatterns.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04798218808241696303noreply@blogger.com4
