The design is adapted from Kristin Ledgett's popular Late Bloomer Mittens, originally created for The Knit Cafe, and reworked here as a kerchief finished with small embroidered flower buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe've knit our sample in Weepaca, which is a worsted weight, so the kerchief comes out slightly larger than the pattern's stated size. We love the result: it makes a generous, cosy kerchief, and the kit has plenty of yarn to cover it.\u003cbr\u003eWe embroidered our flowers in a slightly different way from the original pattern, so that the petals are a little puffier. Instructions for this are included in the kits. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe extra half skein means you have what you need without buying a fourth full skein. There's enough yarn for both the kerchief and the embroidery, and we've included the embroidery illustration for reference, along with a Loop project bag to keep everything together while you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pattern is \u003cstrong\u003eNOT\u003c\/strong\u003e included in the kit.
