    Do you know how to do - oh, what's it called - tricot? (Brain is a bit fuzzy this morning, but I mean the technique where you slip some stitches and then pick them up a couple of rows later, then fold the thing over to give a "bumpy" edge.) You could do a short piece of that, then finish by knitting the last cast-off stitch into the first cast-off stitch to turn it into a circle - that would work as a flower.

    When you go on Ravelry, have a look at my finished items -there's a pair of fingerless gloves with that kind of edging on them - will give you an idea what I mean.
