Make 24 roses using red yarn and a 6mm hook.

Row 1: ch 18 leaving a long tail, dc in 4th ch from hook, (2 dc) in the same 4th ch, * ch 1, sk 1, (3 dc) in next ch *, repeat from * until the end of the row, turn.

To form the rose, first, thread the long tail through a tapestry needle. Then roll the rose making sure edges align at the bottom. Use the needle and sew the rose at the bottom, making sure to go through all layers. Then use the 2 tails to make a knot.
