Increase in the stitch, knitting once in the front loop, then, without dropping the stitch from the left needle, knit once in the back loop - 2 stitches from 1.

Realization

Cast on 6 stitches with the main color and distribute them over 3 double pointed needles. Join in a round.

It's time to stuff your flower in a “donut” shape, without over-stuffing.

Rank 10: Place.

Row 11: * 1 st + 2 tog * 6 times = 12 sts.

Row 12: * 2 Tog * 6 times = 6 stitches.

Finishes

Cut the thread about ten centimeters from the knit and pass it through the remaining 6 stitches. Tighten and tuck the wires.

Thread a few meters with the contrasting color. Stitch in the middle and bring out the needle on the other side in the center (so, we enter through the center created by the beginning stitches and we come out through the center created by the end stitches).

Separate the flower into 6 pads by ironing through the center. Pass the thread twice between each petal, tightening enough to bring them out. Bring in the thread.

Sew a pearl in the center then wrap it with 6 stitches around it. Then, sew a bead in the middle of each petal.

Sew a brooch to the back of the flower.

This flower will be a perfect ornament on a toque, a jacket, a bag or a belt. Do not hesitate to make several in different colors to marry them together.
