Gauge is not really important, the flower can be made with anhy needles and yarn you have in your stash. I knitted this using the magic circle technique but it could also be knitted on DPNs

The smaller flower is Patons DK, the larger is Boodles

I am publishing this pattern to raise money for Myton Hospice and the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, you can make a donation on my page and email me to get your pdf pattern by email (link below) or buy direct from Ravelry and I will make the donation myself
