Rose Embellishments
These simple rose inspired flowers can be made in any size by simply adjusting the number of beginning chain stitches. Instructions below are based on the size roses used for hats in sizes 1-3 & 3-10 years. You may want to adjust the size slightly larger for an adult size hat.
Using J Hook For Large Rose
Ch 40 leaving 10 inch beginning tail Row 1. work (hdc, dc) in 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across, sl st in last ch, fasten off leaving a 10 inch tail. Starting at the end with the tails, curl/roll flower into a spiral shape, (the tails should be in front of flower). Using a tapestry needle weave the tail ends through the front center of the flower to the backside. Working with one tail at a time, weave in and out of the back of the flower, through the chain stitches, until the flower is completely intact and in the desired shape. Use remaining tail ends to affix to hat.
For Small Roses
Follow the instructions for the large rose above, changing the beginning chain to 20.
