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.
