Beautiful embroidery details to add to your next knitting project

We're always looking for new techniques to add to our knitting projects – and embroidery on knitting is such a pretty way to personalise your clothing.

It's so simple to add embroidery to your knitting projects, and there are dozens of designs to choose from. Stitch some flowers onto the collar of a cardigan, or embroider a cute motif onto a child's jumper.

We love working embroidery onto our knitting projects – it's a lovely way to bring in both your knitting and embroidery skills.

As well as adding more detail to your handmade knits, you can also use embroidery to personalise shop-bought knitwear. It's a great way to make your wardrobe completely unique!

Crafters across the world have been sharing their embroidery on knitting projects – and we're seriously inspired by the beautiful pieces that they've created.

Happy stitching!

No more cold shoulder

Working some embroidery detail into the yolk of your knit is a wonderful way to elevate the project. The beautiful flowers on this cardigan by @ku.ni.ber.ta on Instagram add a lovely feminine finish to this piece.

Say it with flowers

We love a floral embroidery project, so why not work flowers into your knitting? The bright pink flowers on this project from @lovefibres on Instagram are so cheerful, and contrast perfectly with the cream knit underneath.

Cute collar

Collared knits are so on trend at the moment – and you can add to your handmade or shop bought ones even more by embroidering it.

This colourful collar from @knitsfromoslo on Instagram is so stunning. We love how many different embroidery stitches have been incorporated!

Adorable children's sets

It's not just adult jumpers and cardigans which can be elevated with embroidery – it looks lovely on children's clothes, too.

This cardigan embroidered with tiny daisies by @madinas_handmade_ on Instagram is just adorable. It makes the perfect gift for a little one in your family!

Add it to accessories

Why not add embroidery to your favourite knitted accessories, too? This knitted bonnet from @lillemannstrikk on Instagram is covered with embroidered flowers and will brighten up any winter walk.
