Flora, the beautiful
Look at my beautiful Flora.
Pattern: Flora by Kate Kuckro in Knitty Fall 2005
Yarn: Only ONE skein of Noro Silk Garden held together with leftover Rowan KSH in marmalade
Needles: #9US bamboo
Notes: This neckwarmer only took one skein of Silk Garden; I knit the flower first and then I knit the main body until I ran out of yarn. The pattern says the finished scarf will measure 23"; mine is only about 21". For the button, I snipped off the spare from the inside of my sister's jacket! The twisted stitch called for in the pattern is really easy: basically you just do what it says. But Kate Kuckro has added additional instructions on her blog.
A sweet detail of this pattern is that it calls for you to use buttons and the eyelets in the main body to hold the flower on. Cute!
