Pattern
Flower (4)
Begin each flower with a tail, three of 10~15 cm and one of 25~30 cm
You may opt to work in continuous rounds. I find it neater to end each round for the color change.
| Round | Stitches | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | With green, 5 SC in MR, SS | 5 |
| 2 | CH 1, SC in each stitch, SS | 5 |
| 3 | Switch to white, SC in each stitch | 5 |
| 4 | *SS, CH 1, HDC, SC* × 5, SS | 5 Petals |
Fasten off & weave in white. Weave green tail end through centre of flower bud.
Assembling
Prepare
- Cut wire in lengths of three of 3 cm and one of 10 cm (or longer, this will be the stalk)
- We will be working along the “stalk”, attach a flower with short tail to this
- Dab the end of wire with glue and insert into the MR of the bud and repeat for the other flowers
- Wrap the yarn tail around the wire for a few rounds
Put together
- Attach flowers with the short tail to the main stalk first
- Apply glue and wrap in the tail as we go
- Finish with the flower with the long tail and wrap till the end
- Snip off the end after glue dries for a neat finish
And we are done!
