To celebrate new friends and all the Queen Babs Instagram and Facebook followers, I created a new flower pattern, invited people to name the flower…and here it is.

Thanks Debra, Pauline and Shawn for the name ideas and here it is the Queen Babs Friendship Flower symbolising the new friendships we are all making! Thanks also to Bec ( IG @bechancer ) for pattern testing at short notice. You rock my friend!!

As Pauline said :
“…through your flowers I/we have made so many friends and will make so many more and there is nothing more precious than a gift from a friend.”

I used 8ply and a 4mm hook. Finished flower was approximately 14cm across. Any yarn and appropriate hook can be used.

You will not need very much yarn for each colour.

Cotton blend/ cotton would work beautifully. If the yarn is very soft and floppy the pattern will not work as well.

I hope you enjoy making it.
