Mixology Mock Knit Flower Attachments Pattern:


Materials:
The Mixology Line has sets of colors that are made to coordinate together.  By selecting a Swirl color, the coordinating print to that color, and the 4 solids out of the print, we can make anything and know that it will blend magically!  Mixology yarns are all skeined in weight Super Bulky 6.  The textures and prints will differ.  Each skein will have 60 - 70 yards.
SO whatever you have left over in:
Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color A
Red Heart Mixology in Swirl Color B
Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color C
Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color D
Red Heart Mixology in Print Color E 
Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color F

OPTIONAL:  You will also need 2 - 1.5" buttons.  You will stitch them together to use as a "cuff link" to attach the flower, OR you can just attach the flower right on one of the button tabs!
