This corsage was designed for Woolfest 2012 and first appeared in the programme for that hugely successful event. Knitters often admire this design when we wear corsages at sales events; even begging us to make the pattern more widely available. Thanks are given to The Wool Clip for giving us permission to distribute this pattern to a wider circle of knitters!

The corsage is knitted loosely, sewn together, then felted in your washing machine. During the felting process the flower and petals will shrink considerably and become much sturdier. Any decorations and clasp must be added after this felting stage.

It is ESSENTIAL that the wool you use for this small project will full/felt so must not be superwash or machine-washable varieties.
