This is an easy beginner flower to celebrate the New Year.

I made these to decorate a new yarnbomb for Redfern, Sydney on the morning of 1st January, 2015.

I used both 8 ply (DK) acrylic or cotton yarn and a 4mm hook to create a 9cm flower. Bigger or smaller weights will change the size.

Gauge is not important.
You will not need much yarn to make this flower!

You could make a blanket or scarf of these flowers by joining them in the picots.

I hope this New Year Flower brings you happiness and good luck for the year ahead.

Cheers,
Jane
