Shirley’s Rose is a crochet block. It has a lot of texture. It can be used alone or with other blocks and squares. It can be a pillow/cushion or as big as a blanket. It could be a wall hanging. The possibilities are endless. Size will vary depending on yarn, hook size, and tension. I use Stylecraft DK. Use whatever you like. Colors are endless. Amount of yarn used will depend on what you make and the type of yarn.
