We’re excited that so many people have expressed an interest in contributing cherry blossoms! We’ve rounded up a few free patterns for knitted and crocheted flowers, for those of you who would like to contribute blossoms. These are just suggestions; please feel free to use any pattern you like. Make them large or small, simple or complex, just make them pink!

love the mission. hate the “bomb” word. even as an oxymoron, yarnbombing is upsetting for those of us who have knit for decades and protested bombs for the same decades (as in since 1962.) and you’re not bombing in any sense of the word. knitting is about love, peace, and understanding.
