Use the thread attached to the flower to sew the 12th row of the scarflette to the 6th round of the rose. Weave in end securely. Use the thread attached to the scarflette to attach the 1st row of the scarflette to the 6th round of the rose. Weave in end securely.
Blocking
If you are using a natural fiber you will block as normal by washing, shaping on a flat surface and allowing to dry. The blocking process is not permanent and should be repeated each time the item is washed. However, to block acrylic fibers, you have to steam block. Steam blocking will permanently alter the fibers, therefore you only need to block an acrylic item once. The instructions below are to steam block.
This is before blocking you can see the lace pattern is a little crumbled and the scarf is quite small. Use a steamer or the steam button on your iron. DO NOT touch the iron to the acrylic yarn - It will melt! Shape your scarflette, spreading out the lace pattern. Hover about 2 inches about the scarflette and push your steam button repeatedly while passing over the fabric. After steam blocking, you will notice your lace pattern lays nicer and is more visible, your scarflette is larger, and your yarn is softer. Now you can wash it as directed on your yarn label as needed. You will never need to reblock.
