These lovely roses are a great use of your stash yarn. Hook size and gauge are unimportant but the larger the yarn and hook, the larger your flower will be of course. The photo shown is actually two different patterns, one downloadable from Ravely, the other from 101 Flowers to Knit and Crochet, available on Kindle.
Each flower can be folded to look a little different from the last so that you can make buds or big cabbage roses from either pattern.
