This flower hair clip was based on a design from a book a friend lent me. It could be created with a variety of seed bead colours to make different specific flowers, but the width of the petals is somewhat dependent of the strength of the wire in holding each line of beads.
Each petal is created by adding 3 beads to the centre of a length of wire, then rows of 6 beads which both ends of the wire is fed through. _000_ [ ] 000000 [ ] 000000 | | and so on...
I added two centre sprouts and a hair clip to the bottom, and am quite happy with how it turned out
I knitted this hippo for a friend's baby to give at the engagement party. Got started a bit late and began knitting friday after work, and knitted right through until I was stepping off the train to her house. Will upload the pattern for it soon.
Update: buy pattern from the patterns page
