I am always looking for unique ways to recycle empty Crock Candles, so I designed the Sprout knitting pattern as a quick and cute way to add some green to any space.

These kits contain everything you need to knit your own tiny Sprout.

Kit includes:

• 7 page pattern zine with photo references

• Ravelry digital pattern download code

• 6g brown fingering weight superwash wool for soil

• 2g green fingering weight superwash wool for sprout

• polyfill stuffing

A friendly little sprout is the perfect way to recycle your le fermiere crocks.

I love to see what you make! Share your project on Instagram and tag me @elisemade, or via email to elisemade@gmail.com
