Knot Stitch Flower Sachet Free Pattern, 1917

Example was made with two colors: white and a shade of pink. Substitute your own color combination or make it all in one color.

Abbreviations:
ch. = chain
d. c. = double crochet
kn. st., kn. sts. = knot stitch, knot stitches
Note: We don't use a period after each part of an abbreviation these days but pattern books often did in 1917. I left the directions as they were, 1917 style. Referring to the photo will help in making the sachet and there's a link below to my step-by-step knot stitch how-to.
