Knit a tiny flower pin bouquet for Mothers' Day

Step 9Add a bow, and a safety pin to the back

Add a bow, using a short piece of yarn tied around the "handle" of the bouquet.

As a finishing touch, I added a safety pin to the back of the pin so it can be pinned to a jacket.

I wore my little boquet to a Mother's Day tea yesterday (May 10th) and ended up giving it away to a friend. However, as I already had four extra flowers knitted, I knitted two more, plus another knitted wrapper and made myself a a second little bouquet! (of course I gave that one away today!) If I want another, I'll just have to knit it from scratch!

These little pins took me less than an hour each to make, so if you are stuck for a gift and are a knitter, this might just save the day!

I'm going to save this for my daughter for next time she needs to raise money at school for the "missions". Quick and simple and the knitters can knit and the other girls can put them together.
