No matter where we travel, no matter how long we live in a certain place, I always plant roses in the yard. My favorites are the miniature rose bushes. This year the bright colors have given me so much pleasure! When I designed a Skunk Baby Amigurumi, I originally made it holding a heart, but then I had to add the option of a rosebud nosegay for it to hold also.
Nosegay:
Materials:
1 oz. green Bernat Blanket yarn
1 oz. pink Bernat Blanket yarn
Foam curler (or Fiberfill)
YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/KR9LPWyn3MU
Directions:
Base:
Rnd 1: With green yarn, ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Do not join. Work in continuous rnds throughout.
Rnd 2: Sc in each st. Repeat Rnd 2 until piece measures 5” long (or desired length).
Next Rnd: 2 sc in each st (12 sc).
Next Rnd: *Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st,* repeat around (18 sc). Join with sl st. Fasten off.
Roses: (Make 6)
With pink yarn (or desired color), ch 12, sc in 2nd ch from hook, *hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc I next ch,* repeat once, hdc in next ch, dc in last ch. Fasten off leaving length for sewing.
Starting at first sc, roll flower with right side out. Sew through bottom sts to secure flower.
Using green yarn, sew flowers to base.
