I love the rosette pattern but I really want the hat pattern to go with the rosette. Is there any way the hat pattern can be made available or is it already?

I've been knitting for about four years now and I learned two new techniques with this rosette, the lifting the stitches completely off the needle and then reknitting it, and wrapping a stitch! Luckily, I have another book, "The Knitter's Handbook" that explained it for me! My rosette turned out great! Thank you for the free pattern!

I just finished my first flower...too cute!

Andrea, I just wrapped the yarn around the needle and then turned it just like I had finished that row. The wrap around the needle is to keep a hole from showing in your work and I think it adds a tiny bit of height. Just follow the directions and you'll have a cute little ruffly flower!

I'm thinking I may have to get this book after the holidays.

@Andrea: Check out youtube for instructional videos on wrapping & turning. I think it's one of those things that you have to watch in order to understand. Once you get it, it's incredibly easy.

How do you "wrap next st"? I never heard of this and don't understand the instructions. Anyone-- HELP please!

This will be a terrific and quick gift for my belly dance troupe mates! Just reading through Row 2's instructions seems a bit confusing. Hopefully it'll make sense when I get home and I'm working through my first flower!

Oh, and the example photographed here is knit with Louisa Harding Thistle (60% merino,40% suri alpaca) #8 Berry (A) and #12 Winter (B).

This is a very nice flower! Thanks for the pattern. I think I know what you mead by "wrap next stitch", but could you give a little more detail on this part of the instructions? Thanks for giving the size of needles and yarn - that was a big detail that was missing.

Sorry, folks! You can use any yarn for this rosette. The rosette in the book is done with worsted weight yarn and size 8 needles. You use two colors, one for the cast-on, which is A, and one for the rest of the rosette, which is B.

I found answers by going to the book on Amazon and doing "search inside this book."

Use size 8 needles and worsted weight yarn (#4 medium).

It's not really a free pattern when the directions are so incomplete. Can you at least tell us if you used circular needles?

I noticed there is no needle size/ yarn weight or gauge. These would be important.

I would also like to know what size needles, and what yarn is used. Thanks
