    \r\n \t
  1. Use the French knitting guide to cast on and make a strand 15cms long in your colour choice, then cast off. Repeat this to make five strands.<\/li>\r\n\r\n
  2. Sew the ends of each strand together to make five petals. Pull the loose ends inside the strands with your needle to hide them.<\/li>\r\n\r\n
  3. French knit a strand in your colour choice 18cms long for the centre of the flower. Then, make a spiral shape and sew it at the back to secure its shape.<\/li>\r\n\r\n
  4. Sew your petals together and then sew on the centre of the flower. <\/li>\r\n\r\n
  5. Turn your flower over and sew the badge pin to the back. (You can remove the self-adhesive foam and use the holes on the badge pin to attach.) Pull the loose ends inside the strands with your needle to hide them and finish your brooch.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
