Pansy hand knits - I love pansies

 I love pansies and have used them as inspiration in the past for intarsia hand knits.

I am not growing any of my own pansies at the moment, so have taken the following photograph from the internet.

The following photographs show various pansy designs on vintage hand knitted cardigans and sweaters from around the early 2000's.

I still love pansies and have designed a knitting pattern for a pair of fingerless gloves with pansies on the fronts.  The PDF pattern is available from TwistedClassics shop on Ravelry.

There is also a pattern available for a matching scarf that is covered with pansies.  This is also available from the TwistedClassics shop on Ravelry.
