Round About Motif

And this is my first motif ... Round About or Little Round About. Make a nice sets of coasters or use to embellish clothing, bags, purses ...

I used a size J hook on these, however, you can use whatever you would like. I also will be trying in thread , I think these would look very pretty as an embellishment to a garment. They take a small amount of yarn - great for stash busting!
