One pattern makes 3 rosbuds; the size is determined by the size of knitting needles and the number of strands of wire and thread used. Instructions are given for a little rosebud. To make a medium rose, change to 3mm needles; for a larger rose, use 3.75mm needles, 2 strands of wire and an optional strand of blending thread for added sparkle. The rose itself is a simple strip, folded and stitched into place.
