Knitted raised leaf patterns


This is one of Annie Coles' patterns. I am fond of all the various raised leaf patterns that were so popular in the Victorian age. This one is one of my favourites so I made enough of the blocks to form a double bed size bedspread. As it is cotton I just put it in the washing machine so it is very convenient. (Bedspreads in my flat always get muddy paw-prints on them, sometimes before I have even got them straight, so being able to wash them easily is important!)



This is a cushion I knitted as a gift for someone. Both sides are the same. The pattern will have been one of the traditional ones, I forget which as there are so many similar ones. I hadn't realized until I looked at the two photos together that they are clearly either the same pattern, or very similar ones, though I know they came from different sources.
