Three-dimensional angel wing begonia leaves and flowers for embellishment or incorporation into a free-form design. Gauge does not matter since the finished size will depend on yarn and hook sizes. Samples were made with variegated sock yarn and a size F hook. You will need a small amount of one color yarn for leaves and another for the flowers.
