Introduction: It can be the cutest pincushion or a lovable wallet or you can enlarge it into a precious purse for a little girl. It is easy and it works out fast and you can mke it with scarp yarn! A perfect project indeed, especially if you go to bazaars or flea markets.

Fasten off.
Bottom: Ch 15, 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc across, ch 2, turn. (13 hdc made).
Row 2: 1 hdc across. Row 3 and all other rows until you have 11 rows: Rep Row 2 (make sure you maintain 13 hdc across). Fasten off.
With medium brown (or the same color you used for the nose circle) and right sides facing outwardly and using F hook: Insert hook through both pieces in a corner and pull up a loop, sc, and sc across that side, stretching the rounded top, to match the square bottom, finish the side and do the bottom and other side, leaving open the top of the "head." Fasten off.
Note: When you reach the corner at the bottom, if you feel you need it, make 2 sc.
Ears:
With the same brown or color used for nose, Ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sl st to join. Round 2: Ch 1, 1 sc in same space, 2 sc in each sc around.
Round 3: Ch 1, *1 sc, 2 sc in next sc, rep around from * to end, join with sl st. Round 4: Ch 1, 1 sc all around. Fasten off. Leave a long tail to sew it with.
Eye patches: With lighter shade of brown, Ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Add darker shade of brown and ch 1, make 11 sc around lighter brown circle. Fasten off leaving tail to sew it with.
Sew eye patches, if you want to, sew 1 button on top of each patch as an accent to the eyes . Gently stuff your pincushion. Sew top with original yellow yarn or sc across the top with the F hook. Sew ears to side corners. Sew a blossom or flower of your choice (use any pattern you like) to the top of the head.

Variation:
You can turn this flowerumi into a cute little wallet as follows: Make front patch, cut a piece of felt of a discreet color, like beige, a little bit smaller than the patch and sew it to the back. Repeat the same procedure with the back side. Of course, felt pieces must face inward. Follow the rest of the pattern until you come to the end. With the body color, make a small flap that will face the back of the little animal head, sew your blossom to the top of that flap, and make sure the ears are placed so that they lie on the sides of the head, and do not hinder the movement of the flap.
(the flap has to be somewhat narrower than the head). Cut a piece of felt and line that flap. Sew a piece of velcro to that felt lining. and another piece of velcro to where the flap will lie to close the little wallet. Clever and cute!
You could also increase the size and turn it into a cute purse for a little girl. The handle could be yellow and be sewn from side to side from the top of each ear.
You've got yourself one cute little purse!
