Another attempt at a pattern from one of Leslie Stanfields books, this time from "100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet". With full knowledge that my ability to follow gauge is...well poor, (mainly because I like to play with different yarns that may not be what the pattern calls for, and I also like to use up my stash instead of buying new yarns) I still wanted to try some of the flowers in this lovely book. Hoping to not have a bunch of ends to weave in, I picked a really simple three color flower.
I used bits and pieces of cotton yarn. Didn't need much. For some people a little big, but for me, I think it turned out just the right size! After using a spray starch to shape and stiffen the petals, I used the fabulous E6000 glue to attach a simple hair clip.
This project took absolutely no time at all. Reading and figuring out the pattern took the most time. More of these hair clips coming soon. Maybe I will make all 100 flowers from the book?!?
