Tomorrow, 1st August, is a very great day. It is a day to don-on your flat-cap, bake Yorkshire Puddings, sing On Ilkla Moor bar tat and celebrate all things Yorkshire. Tomorrow is Yorkshire Day. I honour of this great day: and this very great county, I’ve crocheted myself a Yorkshire Rose…
I want to share the pattern with you: so you can crochet yourself a Yorkshire Rose and wear it with pride.
You’ll need some white and yellow yarn (I’m using DK), two crochet hooks of different sizes (I’m using a 4mm and 3mm), a darning needle, scissors, scrap of felt and a brooch back. Ready?
Into a slip-ring, 1ch (to secure), 6dc, ss to join…
1ch, 1dc in same place as ss, *2dc in next dc,* repeat *-*, ss to join…
1ch, 1dc in same place as ss, *2dc in next dc,* repeat *-*, ss to join…
**4ch, 1dtr in same place as ss, 1dtr in next dc, 1tr in next dc, 1dtr in next dc, 1dtr in next dc, 4ch, ss into base of dtr, ss into next dc**…
Repeat **-** until you have five rose petals, finish off and weave in the ends…
Crochet a second rose, using the same pattern, but with smaller hook…
Layer the two roses on top of each other, securing together using the yellow yarn and small French knots…
Stitch a brooch back onto a small circle of felt, then glue this to the back of the rose…
Wear with pride (even if you’re not from Yorkshire)...
Happy, Happy, Happy, Yorkshire Day!!!
