I made this rose pencil topper months ago. The rose that I used here was rolled and sewn. Although it's prettier and fuller, I cannot recreate it anymore. And if memory serves me right, I had a hard time sewing the tube, or the cylindrical body of the topper, to the rose itself.
So I searched for a no-sew rose pattern. This is the best that I've seen so far: No-sew Ruffle Rose Pattern
It's easier to sew on the body, and I think I can even do these toppers without sewing or doing the two pieces separately. I'll try to do that next time.
How to make the topper:
- Make the rose using the pattern above.
- Make the body/tube/whatever that part is called. Pattern below.
- Sew together.
Pencil Topper Body or Tube:
Chain 10. Slip stitch to first chain. You will work in rounds.
Rows 1-10: Chain 1. Single crochet on each stitch. Sl st to first stitch.
You can change the base chain and the height of the body by increasing or decreasing the rows.
