Free Pattern – The Double Loop Flower

Looking for a flower embellishment but tired of the same old flower patterns?  Well look no further, this simple flower has a fun twist.  You can put it on a pin and use it to dress up a scarf or coat, add it to a hat or headband – have fun with it!  Hint:  stay tuned for a project I’ll be releasing soon that uses this flower too!  ~Maria~

Round 5- second layer of petals:  In this round  you are working petals in the spaces between the petals of Round 4 and the sl sts are worked over the previous Round.
