You need:
- A knit
- sequin fabric. I always go for good quality sequins that aren’t too shiny as this looks much more subtle.
- scissors
- a needle and thread
- craft paper and pen

6. Pin the patches in place, and then try on the sweater to make sure they are located in the right place. Then lightly stitch  them on, using a longer stitch on the inside of the sweater and a shorter one on the front so that the stitches are less noticeable.

7. Stitch the other patch on, making sure to stitch in the right place so they look symmetrical.

Voila. Perfect for brightening up a chilly day, or wearing with denim cut offs on a warmer one.
