This pattern will walk you through creating your very own Eyeball Rose!
The finished size is approximately 9 inches high (with a bend in the stem)

Yarn Needed:
Red
White
Green
Brown (if adding dirt base)

Suggested Brands: Red Heart Super Saver or similar

Other Tools:
Polyfil or stuffing of your choice
Floral wire: (or any piece of smaller gauge wire available) approximately 18 - 20 inches. This will be used to make the stem.
Floral Tape: this is used to wrap the wire after it’s been added to the flower. Alternately you can wrap green yarn tightly around the wire.
Felt Pieces: Small round piece of green and black felt. These will be glued to the eyeball for the iris and pupil. Feel free to use any color if green’s not your thing!
Larger piece of brown or green felt: this will be glued to the bottom of the dirt after the wire is poked through. The felt will both hide and secure the wire.
Crochet Hook: 3mm (if a different size hook is used the project will be slightly smaller/larger, which is fine!)
