A flower to a square. I can't for the life of me understand any of the written patterns and when I looked for a video I haven't had much luck. Apparently Bella Coco is also a very naked person straddling a motorbike Blush

Can you just sew it on?

Okkitokkiunga · 02/05/2017 21:12

I did think about it but none of the patterns say are it on so I wondered if I'd be committing a Crochet faux pas Grin. That's no doubt what I'll end up doing.

haha! like the Bella Coco googling ( I once googled 'all wool socks' for a present - you wouldn't believe the websites that came up!
I would just sew it on tbh - and there are you tube videos for that too Grin

I am going to have to google that now book. I also found out last year that selling dirty worn socks on eBay catered to a certain fetish. eBay were sending me dirty sock notifications for ages Grin

Thats beautiful! Yy just sew it on, gorgeous xxx

That's lovely Okki. Can I ask how you sewed it on? With thread or yarn? What colour? Do the stitches show on the back? I've made some sort of two-colour stars and was wondering about sewing them on (wasn't sure how best to do it, hence questions) or if i should just build a square around them.

Okkitokkiunga · 04/05/2017 08:12

Thanks Treasure. I kept the peskie of the flower really long and then sewed it onto the foundation ring of the square so the stitches are hidden.

If I was to sew stars on though, I'd have a go at picking up the back stitch of the edge star and the top stitch of the square underneath using the colour of the star.
