Have you ever wanted to knit a flower bouquet? Why not join my May Flower Bouquet KAL! Week one’s mystery flower is my Pop Into Shape Rose.

Special Offer: Buy 3 patterns for $4.95! No coupon needed. Thank you.

These English Roses are a quick, easy knit and require next-to-no sewing!
They are knit almost entirely in the round from skirt hem to hat top (middle petals), with arms that are knit in one-piece and slide into position through arm holes, a wooden bead head that stays in place with a pipe cleaner, yarn hair added with a tapestry needle and two hat petal layers that are also knit in the round and slid into place. The rose on the skirt is made using a Woven Wheel Stitch which is a simple but impressive looking stitch.

To make your own English Rose you’ll need:

  • One 12mm wooden bead
  • One Pipe Cleaner
  • Scrap yarn
  • One FREE evening!

BIG THANKS to my WONDERFUL test knitters! Your dolls are beautiful and your feedback is much appreciated xox

Looking from above these dolls really look like roses. (Saphiera)

Love this doll, almost as much as the daffodil doll. (bonewoman)
