These knitted flowers are colorful accessories that are quick to knit and easy to assemble. They are a fun project, and you can use scrap yarn (yea!). You can make them as sophisticated, romantic, or as funky as you want by adding the button or buttons of your choice as the center of your flower.

These flower pins make great quick gifts, or a wonderful little topper for a present. This pattern includes directions to turn your flower into a pin, but you can also use these flowers as a decoration on a sweater, hat or headband, purse, pillow, almost anything.

For my flower, I used worsted weight yarn and a #7 knitting needle. The finished flower pin is about 4 inches in diameter. If you want to make a smaller flower, you could use dk or sock weight yarn and the appropriate size needle.
