This sweet little flower can be made in a few hours and uses less than 50gr of yarn and 75 beads, with a button or extra beads for the centre. The pattern instructions are for DK weight yarn and 4mm needles which makes a flower approx. 7cm/2.5” diameter, but you can experiment with other yarns and needles to get different sizes and effects. There are also instructions for making an elasticated wristband so you can wear your corsage as a bracelet.

For bead knitting novices, the pattern includes full instructions on how to choose your beads and how to incorporate them into your knitting.
