Can you crochet or knit?
Then why not get involved in our create a forget-me-not campaign! We are asking people who can knit or crochet to create some forget-me-not flowers that we can turn into brooches and sell in order to fundraise. All you need is some blue and yellow wool. We have created a basic pattern, which you can download and follow and in addition to this there are a number of videos you can find on YouTube.

Some Additional Pattern Help - Magic Circle Tutorial
A Magic Circle (or magic ring as it is sometimes known) is an adjustable ring used to begin crocheting in a round. By using this system you simply make the stitches around the loop and then pull at the yarn end to close the ring as tight as you want. If the hole in the middle re-appears after crocheting more rounds you can still tighten it anytime at the later stage.
Step 1 – Make a loop with the yarn, putting the yarn end over the tail
Step 2 – Insert hook in the center of the loop and pull up the working end of the yarn inside the ring and then upwards
Step 3 – Make 1 chain to start working single crochet stitches in the first round
Step 4 – Proceed to make required amount of single crochets around the magic ring (insert hook inside the ring, pull up a loop, yarn over hook, pull through 2 loops on your hook)
Step 5 – After you make required amount of stitches (it’s usually 6 in the first round) pull on the yarn end/tail to close the ring and that’s where all the magic happens!
You will then have a nice circle with no hole in the middle and then you can proceed with the rest of the pattern as usual.
