"Here's a crochet rosebud that I made. I designed it for use as a bookmark with a longer stem or as an appliqué, with a shorter stem to decorate items. For this pattern you will need 2 reds and green, 4 ply crochet cotton. A crochet hook, I used a 1.25mm hook. Scissors, and a darning needle to weave in ends. Sewing thread and a sewing needle to stitch the rose together."
