You will be making 3 different roses but the
instructions are the same except for the amount of chains you make initially.
For the small rose: Chain

the large rose: Chain 81

space. *ch1, sk2 chs. 2dc, ch2, 2dc in next ch. Repeat from * all the way to
the end of ch. ch1 and turn.
Roll the your work onto itself to create the shape of a rose. You will need to do a bit of arranging so the petals cooperate. Once you are happy with the shape achieved, thread the tail through and along the bottom of the rose so it holds its shape.
The petals will be as follows:
the small rose will have 11 petals
the medium rose will have 13 petals
the large rose will have 21 petals

There is not secret to making these twirly
vines! I basically chained random lengths, skipped the 1st ch, and sc 2 in each
ch all the way to the end. I just made sure I had various lengths in all the
different colors.
In addition to the wreath itself, here are all
the different parts I created! I love the colors!
First, I placed all the different parts of the
project on the wreath to decide on positioning.
Using my loyal and beloved hot glue gun, I
attached everything accordingly onto the wreath in the following order: vines,
leaves, and roses last.
And here is the final product!
Isn't it lovely? I am quite pleased with how
this project turned out!
Happy Valentine's day!
