wednesday rose

Wednesday came and I finished a knitted rose (the leaves are from squared pieces of cloth I had bought a long time ago). Again I used some old yarn (I undid some crocheted granny squares).

I found the pattern in a Clarín Tejido magazine (2011) but, as usually, I didn't follow the instructions exactly....

I used 4 mm needles (instead of 6mm)....and I didn't use any felting technique.

1. cast on 70 st. and knit 10 rows
2. decrease twice 6 stitches right and left
3. decrease twice 4 stitches right and left
4. finish!
5. curl up...sew and attach (sewing) the leaves
6. sew some pin or clip to turn the knitted rose into a lapel pin...or hair clip/pin
