This is a crochet version of the traditional ribbon Hana Kanzashi flowers from Japan. I wanted to replicate the beautiful satin ribbon hair ornaments Japanese women wear in their hair using yarn and a crochet hook. The flower is 3D (3 dimensional) but is nice and flat on the back, so it attaches easily to hats, scarves, handbags and more.
