Brighten your cold and dreary winter months with a cheerful bouquet of roses! This design begins with a provisional cast on, uses twisted sts to create an elegant, vine-encircled column, and finishes with perpendicularly knit lace edging. After knitting, the roses are added using two embroidery techniques also described in this pattern. Make them full-fingered, semi-fingered, or as mitts - all instructions are provided.

You may use your circular method of choice, and the directions contain text and charts.
