Azalea Tips
Welcome to the Azalea Tips page! The below tutorials were originally created as part of the Azalea Knitalong in the Spring of 2021, and I have them now available to everyone. Each tutorial walks you through a particular section of the pattern, from picking a size to blocking (and everything in between).
Please Note: many of the photos/imagery used in these tutorials may show the original version of the pattern which was published by Manos del Uruguay/Fairmount Fibers (if you have this version, it says “Manos del Uruguay” at the top of the cover page). In April 2022, I was able to self-publish the design under my Elizabeth Smith Knits brand as well and although the pattern is the same, the verbiage and photography are different. I just wanted to mention that should you be confused that the pattern imagery in some of these tutorials is different than the latest version of the pattern.
If you need pattern details (or need to purchase the pattern), you can do so on Ravelry or on my website.
