Sarah's Yarn Box

I started out as a knitter. Then, I learned to crochet. I tried to learn to tat. That was a failure. I've done cross stitch. I've done latch hook. I'd love to learn embroidery. Lately, I've been bitten by the sewing bug. I've also learned that the serger is my best friend! Join me in my adventures!

Hi! This is Rachel from Knitting Pattern Central. (I would e-mail you, but I couldn't find your address.) My favorite flower happens to be a pink rose and yours is gorgeous!

Thank you for linking to me...do you mind me linking to your patterns? I don't know how many extra visitors you get that way, but I wouldn't want to be taking up all your bandwith by sending them to you.

Anyway...just wanted to say love the rose! I might not see your comment if you reply, so if you want to write back, here's the place:

For a video to see how to knit into the front and back of a stitch go to this website.

Scroll down until you see "Bar Increase" on the right hand side of the screen. Then you can click on kfb. (They have videos for both English and Continental Knitters.)

I love this pattern; I made the flower and leaf and tacked it onto a cute little ruffly hat for my grandaughter for her first birthday...it was a great hit...she looked adorable and my DIL was thrilled with the added touch of the flower.

Thanks for the great pattern. I used it with fuzzy yarns, and made three flowers (two white, one pink) for my corsage. I gave it to my Grandma, and now she wants your pattern to make one for my aunt! My mother loved it so much, I had to make her one for her birthday. I do recommend making it in a chenille or something like that--the roses look more realistic. Anyway, you made a lot of people very happy, so thanks!

hello!! I have been looking for a rose pattern to put on a felted clutch and this one seems good, would it felt well? I am new too felting so I'm not quite sure if it would work out.

great, really easy but stitch counts at the end of increase rows would be helpful to help keep track

Hi Sarah. Thank you for the pattern. I will be embellishing a winter hat I just knitted for my 18-month old to wear this winter. Too cute!

i just made it- its more of a spiral- not really a rose, but a nice ornament for a piece of clothing anyways.

Hi! This is Linda and I was the one that requested the Rose Flower Pin .... it took me forever searching the internet for a pattern.. I picked one up at a craft show, but the person who made them was not available, and lucky me to have found Sarah's Yarn Box ... I have had so many comments of how gorgeous it is ... they all want one! Thumbs up to you! Linda

Nice flower pin, having hard time finding back pins, the ones with a round circle, do you of a site I can purchase them?

I'm not sure exactly what type of pin backs you're looking for. The ones I used are similar to the ones on this site.

Most craft stores should carry them. Or just google "pin back."

Good luck!

Hi Sarah, I made this rose in yellow as it is our sorority symbol, it turned out so well I am going to make a pin for each member in our chapter. Your pattern is the best "rose" I have seen, thanks for sharing, it is beautiful.
