So, all the red yarns seem to be much thinner than either the white or green used so far!

Leave it flowerless? Or use the red doubled?
I’m trying doubled.

This red yarn is really too thin, so it’s doubled for the rosebuds and single strand for the sc between buds. No cutting, as I carry/work over the extra strand while doing the single crochets.

It’s done! I’m very happy with the ‘flowers’, because they don’t flop loosely about, and - even changing between a single strand for the six single crochets and double strand for the flower buds - was far faster than the bigger flowers on the first couple.
