Forget Me Not Motif

Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This motif would be best used in an afghan but it could also be made with thread for a dainty snowflake ornament. Imagine an afghan made with this motif made with several different colors. Then the motifs joined with one color. Such as black or white.

Scraps of worsted weight acrylic yarn can be used for each motif. I used
Barella4 in Federal Blue worsted weight yarn.
Size G/6 4.5mm aluminum crochet hook
Yarn Needle for weaving in ends

Yarn Thickness: 3mm
Gauge: 4sc=1"
Finished Size: 7"diameter
Skill Level: Beginner
