I really didn't want to waste an inch of the leftover Malabrigo Merino Worsted yarn from my Retro Redux shrug. So, with some encouragement from Hilary and Erica, I made a frosty flower to accent my shrug:
...aka crocheted flower, knitted leaves.
Pattern Own/generic crocheted flower and knitted leaves.
Yarn Malabrigo Worsted Merino, #606 Frost Gray, about 2 yards leftover from knitting my Retro Redux shrug.
Needles Size 8 (5 mm) straights. Size G (4.5 mm) hook.
Two-layered flower, one big leaf, and one small leaf.
It's floating on ice! Okay, not quite...
The flower itself required half the leftover yarn. I wanted to make two of the bigger-sized leaves to accompany it, but did not have enough yarn. I'm very happy with the results though!
And to complete the project post for the shrug, pictures of me wearing it:
Retro Redux with frost flower, front!
Retro Redux, back!
I just wanted to quickly post these pictures. It's a gorgeous day and I really should not be inside knitting/blogging.
