This beautiful knitted Rose is created without seams, starting with the stem and working up though the base, sepals and petals. A compound leaf pattern is included in the directions to enhance the rose when it is displayed in a vase. This is an ADVANCED knitting design. The sample was made with fingering weight yarn on size 4(US)needles but smaller and larger yarns and needles can be used to alter the size of the bloom. The bloom does not take much yardage, and the yardage given is only an estimate. One skein or less of your chosen colors is all that will be needed.
Both to flower and the leaves are enhanced with the use of floral wire and tape.
