Spring memories is a set containing a hat and fingerless mitts with stranded colorwork in three colors
featuring delicate white dandelions with yellow hearts. The yellow hearts are added afterwards using duplicate stitch.
It is perfect to work up some small leftovers.
You could also try to work the yellow hearts in ‘intarsia’ as @Maddish did because they are only a few stitches wide. See post 40 in the test thread.

The Spring memory hat is worked bottom up with a lorge folded brim. It comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. The sample is the medium size.
