KNIT WIT
Transforming a cardigan
from plain to oh-so-pretty
is as easy as ironing or
sewing on flowery fabric
appliqués. These two large
beaded motifs only re-
quired a few stitches for
each leaf and petal,
since sturdy mesh backing
holds them together.
TIP: If you use two of the
same embellishments, mix
things up; one of this pair
was sewn on upside down.
