Finished Measurement

7” / 18 cm wide by 3.5” / 9 cm tall

Yarn

DK weight (#3 light)

Shown in shown in Lion Brand^® Yarn 24/7 Cotton^® (100% mercerized cotton, 186 yards/170 m, 100 g/3.5 oz per skein), 1 skein each, shown in Écru (A), Orchid (B), and Goldenrod (C). 

Note 24/7 Cotton is listed as a worsted weight (#4 medium), but is much closer to a DK in my experience.

Hook

US D, 3.25 mm, or whatever works for your yarn and your personal tension. Use a hook small enough not to leave large gaps.

Notions

Scissors, embroidery needle, small amount of fiber fill or scrap yarn for stuffing. Optional: measuring tape, stitch markers; cool melt or fabric glue if you prefer not to sew on your Petals.

Gauge does not matter.
