To assemble
ROSE BUD
- Pick up one of the smallest petals, and wrap it into two as shown below.
- Add a little glue/gum to the middle of the second small petal, and wrap it around the petal on the wire making sure at each point to cover the opening of the previous petal and both positioned at the same height.
If you desire to skip the glue, you can sew the distal sts together.
- Repeat step 2 for the 3rd petal, and for the other petals.
Set aside.
Small size rose – 3 small petals and 3 medium-sized petals
Medium size rose – 3 small petals and 3 medium-sized petals
Large size rose – 3 small petals and 3 medium-sized petals, 3 Large-sized petals.
Repeat steps 1 – 3 for the other sizes.
Start with the 3 small petals, and 3 medium petals, and then proceed to add the 3 large petals.
Set aside
Section 2 – Rose Sepal
(Green part around the base of the petals)
- The number needed would be determined by the number of Roses made in Section 1.
- With green yarn.
Small and medium sized Sepal
Chain 8, join to the 1st chain to form a circle.
Round 1: *2 sc in first ch, sc in next ch, rep from * to the end of the round. (12 sc)
Round 2: Sc in each st around. (12 sc)
Rounds 3 – 5: Repeat Round 2
Now, we start by creating chains and work a few stitches into the chains to make the leaves then we return to work a few more chains on the round.
Round 6: Ch 8, sl st into 2nd chain from hook, sc into next 2 chs, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 chs, hdc in last ch.
Skip the next st on the bud, Sc into the next st on round 5.
*Continuing around round 5, repeat the instructions above for round 6 to create another calyx (leave)
Repeat * 3 more times
Fasten off.
Stalk and leaves – continue with the same hook and yarn
Row 1: Attach yarn with a slip stitch to the base of the sepal, where you chained 8 – make 20 FSC do not fasten off.
Note that the length of your FSC would be dependent on how long you want the stalk to be!!
Fasten off.
Large size Sepal
Chain 8, join to the 1st chain to form a circle.
Round 1: *2 sc in first ch, sc in next ch, rep from * to the end of the round. (12 sc)
Round 2: *2 sc in first st, sc in next 2 sts, rep from * to the end of the round. (16 sc)
Round 3: Sc in each st around. (16 sc)
Rounds 3 – 7: Repeat Round 3
Now, we start by creating chains and work a few stitches into the chains to make the leaves then we return to work a few more chains on the round.
Round 8: Ch 10, sl st into 2nd chain from hook, sc into next 2 chs, hdc in next 2 chs, dc in next 3 chs, hdc in last ch.
Skip the next st on the bud, Sc into the next st on round 7
*Continuing around round 7, repeat the instructions above for round 8 to create another calyx (leave)
Repeat from * to the end
Fasten off.
Assembling the parts together
Attaching a firm stalk to your rose
- The prototype was made using a combination of 4 pieces of 25g Hobby Green wire (25 cm x 0,71mm) and was secured with Bind wire, wrapped around the green wire multiple times.
Pass the stalk through the middle of the petal.
Attaching a firm stalk to your rose
- Pick up the assembled petals and the sepal
- If using glue, apply a generous amount of glue around the base of the petals and place the petals firmly into the bud.
- If omitting the glue, place the petal inside the bud and stitch together severally.
- The stalk (made with (FSC) can be used to either join the roses together. Or for the roses with wire stalks, you could wrap the yarn multiple times around the wire. Secure firmly.
