Frida Kahlo Inspired Brooch

Supplies *sport yarn for the head, neck mouth and small flowers and 1.9mm hook *DK yarn for the roses and the hair – still same hook (1.9mm) *colorful wooden beads (3 for the necklace and 2 for the earrings – don’t have to be the same) *small piece of embroidery floss for the monobrow * sewing and tapestry needle and sewing thread * Felt piece for the back cover + metal brooch pin

Notes: for this particular brooch I used less than 15 grams of yarn, so leftover yarn is especially good for this kind of project for the flowers and hair – even head. I didn’t change the hook for the DK yarn (I usually use my 3.00 mm one) because I was aiming at neater and tighter stitches.

Creative ideas: The brooch can be attached not only on jackets and coats, but also on bags and hats. Instead of adding a pin at the back, glue a rope or a ribbon and you instantly have a gorgeous wall hanging. Use it as applique to put on pillows and blankets!
