To Assemble Rose
1. Weave all loose yarns away - down the edge of the petals, except for the tail at the cast on edge of the Inner Petal.
2. Place the Inner Petal piece flat, purl side down. Cast on edge is at the side and the decreasing edge is at the top. Starting at the cast on edge roll the petal tightly, so that purl side is turned to face outwards.
3. Sew the base firmly together with the yarn tail.
4. Wrap the four petals around the inner petal, with the purl side facing towards the inner petal and the cast on end at the base. Stagger the two middle petals and then the two large ones . Sew each petal firmly to the base and bottom edge of petals as you go. Keep the petals tight.
5. Attach the leaf (knit side facing outwards) to the back of rose.
6. Sew on the brooch back to the reverse of the rose.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great pattern. I made one with jute twine for a rustic look, it's a little bigger (5mm needles to accommodate the thicker material) but it looks awesome. with lace trim around it. Thanks for sharing!
