Warda

Warda is the Arabic for rose. This little motif was floating around my design notebook, and while it was intended for a garment still to be completed, I thought of how lovely it would be as a greeting card for Mother’s Day or a birthday or as a thank you note. Made with simple increases and decreases, this rose is fun to make and a pretty quick project. An offhand remark on the [Around the World Stitch-Along](/groups/around-the-world-stitch-along) about knitted greeting cards sparked the initial thought to turn this motif into a card or framed piece. Sample was knit with Avril Cashmere (100% Cashmere) - (1422 yards / 1300 meters, 3.53 ounces / 100 grams per skein) in English Rose. **Skills Required:** Increasing and decreasing.
