This sturdy knitted patch is a perfect accessory for just about anything. Sew or pin it to purses, bags, backpack, shirts, or hats. You can even glue a magnet to the back and put it on your fridge or office desk. Turn it into wall art by framing it! Extremely versatile

This little piece can be finished in one night using some scrap yarn from your stash. I suggest choosing two contrasting colors of the same weight but don’t hesitate to mix materials!

The finished size of this patch is very flexible. If you want it bigger, use a heavier weight yarn or up the needle size. It is up to you!
