I didn't know what to share this week. I made a vegetarian mousakka a couple of days ago and was going to share the recipe but since I am so behind in writing this post, I thought it would be easier to write up this idea for crocheted roses.
My friend recently bought some crocheted roses that you can display in a vase. I liked the concept but the actual roses looked a bit old fashioned for my taste (my daughter will tell me, "what taste"!) Anyway, I found a fun little pattern that gives some depth to the rose so here's what I came up with:
I had so much fun making these, that I got carried away with the pattern and made 12 of them!
The colors may be a bit bright since I used leftover yarns that I had in my yarn basket. I like the black/white or gray/white ones since they look a bit more modern.
I sewed a pin on the back of each rose so that you can pin it on a hat, or coat, etc.
If you would like to make some of these roses, here's the link to the pattern. I hope you have as much fun making them as I did!
Have a wonderful week and please remember to stop by Handmade Monday and see some great ideas from other crafters.
Wishing you the best,
Pat :)

Thank you Ali. My week should be fun since I get to babysit my little grandson who is always a joy to have! Take care. :)
DeleteLovely roses. I always get carried away when crocheting flowers - it's just knowing what to do with them all when I'm done! Please do post your Vegetarian Mousakka recipe, my family and I are all vegetarian and would love to give it a go. x
ReplyDeleteHello. I will try and post the recipe next week. I have all the pictures but I just need to write down the proper proportions. Thanks for visiting this week!
DeleteMom, these would look cute pinned to a beret or little girls' headband! I do not make fun of your taste! It is just very eclectic!
ReplyDeleteThank you Juji. Would you like me to make one for you?
DeleteYour roses are lovely and would make great additions on greetings cards. The vegetarian mousakka sounds interesting - look forward to seeing the recipe. Hope you have a good week.

Hi Jill, I will post it next week. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
DeleteLovely little roses, my favourite has to be the yellow one.
ReplyDeleteGreetings. I am happy you like them. The yellow one turned out bigger since it was made with cotton yarn. Take care :)
DeleteThe roses are great, they look really sweet.

ReplyDeleteHi Jo, maybe you can crochet one day. I taught myself years and years ago with a book. My week is going well. I hope you too are having a great week.
DeleteAwww Pat, they're lovely :-) It's so nice to find a pattern you like making enough to get carried away and make loads! Simmi xx
