The finished flower measures about 15cm (6in), including the stem. I used a cotton DK for the main part of the flower, a wool DK for the i-cord stem and a nice, nubbly yellow bouclé yarn for the spadix. As only a small amount of yarn is required, just oddments of any double-knitting weight from your yarn stash would do. Stitch a pin to the back of the flower and you have an eye-catching corsage.
