The Posy Ring on my hand. |
I think this would be a nice spring accessory.
A side view! |
It could also be a cute pin, or, made in a larger size, a cute brooch or hair pin. |
Materials
Size H hook
Worsted weight yarn in flower color and stem/leaf color
Yarn needle
Flower:
With flower color, magic ring
Petals: *ch 3, 3 dc in ring, ch 3, sl st in ring, repeat from * twice. You should have three petals. You can close the ring., fasten off
Ring base/stem
This is REALLY easy! All you have to do is:
Using stem/leaf color, chain enough to fit over your finger snugly, but not to tight! Fasten off.
I tied the ends of the ring base together, but you could slip stitch it together, make your own ring base.
Putting it all together!
This can be a little complicated. First weave in all ends except for the one you used to pull your ring closed. Now, thread that piece onto your yarn needle. Holding the flower and ring base together,carefully stitch the flower to the ring base through both loops of a chain. If you made a different style of base, you can attach it anyway you'd like!
If it's not staying properly, you can try a dab of hot glue or fabric glue to keep it in place. Hot glue won't take that long to dry, but if you're using fabric glue, you may want to place it in a cool, dry place on a high shelf where it won't be bumped around to much. A book would help keep it in place while it dries, as well.
And there we have it, a The Petaled Posy Ring, perfect for spring!
