These flowers are so simple to make and look as fresh as spring!

Basic Flower

I knitted a length of i-cord 25cm (10") long, you could make it from French knitting. From this I formed a five looped petal flower then attached a button for the centre, piece of cake!

I think I am finally happy with my pattern, I hope I have explained it clearly enough for anyone to try!

This is what I used for my necklace but you could use any oddments of yarn and size of needle, it would be nice in a cotton yarn too

Needles: one set of four double pointed needles (DPNs) size 2.0mm (14 UK / 0 US)
