- Pull the tail snug to secure the roll.
- Make a few more stitches back and forth through all layers at the base of the rose, catching any loose “petals” (the 3-Dc clusters) to secure the shape.
- Ensure the tail ends up on the opposite side of the rose base from where it started.
- Thread the initial yarn tail (the 7-inch one from attaching the flower) onto the needle. Weave this tail discreetly into the base of the rose on the underside.
- Take both tails and tie them together in a secure double knot. Be careful not to pull so tight that you distort the rose shape. Add another knot or two for good measure.
- Hide the knotted tails by weaving them back up and through the rose layers, then trim any excess.
Tying the tails is crucial to prevent your beautiful roses from unravelling!
Repeat this sewing process for every flower strip on your blanket.
The Grand Reveal: From Blanket to Bouquet
Congratulations! You’ve created a stunning crochet rose blanket. To transform it into a bouquet:
- Lay the blanket flat, right side up.
- Carefully start rolling or folding the blanket from one side towards the other, allowing the roses to gather and “bloom” upwards.
- You can also gather the center of the blanket (the “vase” part) and let the rose edge drape around it, securing with a ribbon if desired for display.
Play around with it to achieve your favorite bouquet look!
