The 'body' part measures about 3 inches, so you need a good cup size to show it off to full effect!

It cheered me up sufficiently to make this pair of 'hangers on' to go with it:

You probably noticed, these still feature trellis stitch.

These pins are charming! Any spot they hung would be brightened. I can see them suspended on the end of spring where even a small tweak would make them dance.
