FLOWER
Knot one end of Ric Rac.  Insert point of RH needle from front to back through first loop on top edge (straight
edge); insert point of RH needle through next loop on top edge, then with the other needle, lift first loop on RH needle over the second loop as if to bind off (this gathers Ric Rac).

GAUGE:
9 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
