When I saw the movie version of “Les Miserables” in theaters, I pretty much guarantee that I was the only one in the theater thinking, “I bet I could knit one of those rosettes that the members of the revolution wear.” But I was. It slipped my mind for quite a while, until the other day when I watched the movie again and about halfway through, the idea came back to me. I paused it, grabbed needles, yarn, and pen and paper, and by the end, I had a pattern and three rosettes completed. Here’s how to make one of your own.

The yardage listed here is based on the weight of the rosette and my ability to do math. It should be pretty close to correct.

Edit 2/16/20: Finally turned the pattern into a PDF! Enjoy!
