This intarsia flower made it's first public appearance in 'Handmade Magazine' early in 1994 as my very first published design, on a jumper for 1-5 year olds.

I didn't get paid, but it was still very exciting to see one of my designs in print. 8*)

Knit the flower in a single colour and add the centre afterwards using duplicate st embroidery or concentric circles of chain stitch as in the sample above.
