Make a CROCHET rosette for someone who has been wonderful, run a race, or has a teddy bear who deserves a medal.

Hello!

And how are you today?! My friend Bob just dropped in for a cuppa with baby Nancy, five weeks old, adorable and beautiful and snuggly like babies are. I love it when Bob just pops by, it forces me to have a break from work, have a natter and a catch-up, and feel like a sociable human. And I get to hold a teeny weeny little tiny teeny human being who pulls the funniest faces, and makes squeaky, snuffly noises.

Today I'm visiting a pattern first mentioned some time ago.

In this post a while ago I "launched" my knitted rosette pattern, a free pattern for the Coats Crafts website. I just had a little look at the site to see whether my second pattern for Coats, the pattern for the crochet version of the rosette, had gone live, and it has, so today I'm going to send you in the direction of Coats crafts. If you fancy making a crochet rosette for someone's teddy bear, a mother who just gave birth to a bundle of joy, someone who has run a race, or baked a cake, or just been wonderful, then carry on reading!

The downloadable pattern for the crocheted rosette can be found here on the Coats Crafts website.

If you'd rather knit the rosette, the pattern for the knitted rosette can be downloaded here, or you can see the full instructions in this post.

I've got my knitting group to go to now, so I must dash. I'll be working on my knitted fair isle dress, it's really getting quite long, almost to my knees. I think I'll knit it to just below my knees, then start on the sleeves. So exciting! Love Vanessa xxx

they look so lovely! The tutorial was great... I liked seeing how you covered the circle, I've never thought of sewing it, I probably would have hashed the whole thing with glue ha ha but now my mind is spinning with ideas. Can't wait to see the dress!

Love Carole from Rossendale xxxxx

I saw both of your patterns up - last week I think. I think they are both great; I remember you saying that they were really quite tricky to come up with. Well you did really well as both versions look perfect. How fantastic it must feel to have your patterns up there. I love your description of babies by the way - that is exactly what they are like, especially the squeaky and snuffly bit!

What a clever idea knitting rosettes! I'm itching to get my needles out now. :) xx

They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back. That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life. Do you understand?
