Questions about this pattern
How long does the flower take?
Most beginners finish one in under an hour — and the second one in half that.
Do I need to know the magic ring?
It helps, but the pattern also gives the chain-ring alternative if you prefer to avoid it.
What yarn should I use?
Scraps of DK cotton are ideal — about 5 g in all, in two colours.
