The Flowers are Blooming!

Summer is here! This part of the year is actually pretty excited for an amigurumi artist. With each new season, designers’ color palettes begin to change and I really like the variety you can get out of the “springtime” feel. Every color collides in a fun way and JOANN has all the yarn i need. Do you have a favorite flower you like to see bloom every year?

Speaking of spring, this was a great time to come out with a flower pattern of course! Seeing flowers bloom in the spring is such an unexpected surprise even though it happens every year. Over in the Pacific Northwest, the flowers we get are remarkable.

I did want to try and diversify my project from other flower projects of the spring and I am aiming for a home décor goal this time. Keeping it classy, we’re keeping our flowers in a modern vase! As you can tell, I am working on my home décor skills with the help of JOANN stores.

Everyone Deserves Flowers

Although this is a summer idea, this project does go live during Pride Month and I wanted to add a small ode to this project. When looking at all of the colors, they all represent the colors of the pride / Inclusivity Flag. There are so many colors that show inclusivity and I wanted to be thoughtful with this.

No matter who or where you are in the community, everyone deserves flowers either from a loved one or just for themselves. It’s a shame we’ve dictated who flowers are for and I hope that this can be a small token to let you know the Yarn Punk community is safe for anyone.

I am looking forward to creating this vase later in the year with different colors as well – feel free to change it up however you wish!

What is the Progress Pride Flag?

Here is some info about the flag:

“Designed in 2018 by Graphic designer Daniel Quasar, Quasar added a five-colored chevron to the classic Rainbow Flag from 1978 to place a greater emphasis on “inclusion and progression.” Quasar’s Progress Pride Flag added five arrow-shaped lines to the six-colored Rainbow Flag, which is widely recognized as the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ+) community.”

“The flag includes black and brown stripes to represent marginalized LGBTQ+ communities of color, along with the colors pink, light blue and white, which are used on the Transgender Pride Flag.”

Crafting is Inclusive

Beyond just this project, crafting itself is inclusive and should be available to everyone – JOANN stores does a great job at bringing all crafters together and making it accessible to get started on your favorite crafts. Spring / Summer is often seen as a time of renewal and an opportunity to refresh, trying out a new craft like crochet might be the revival you need from this past winter. Enjoy this project from JOANN and I to start the warmer months off with!

I hope you can find welcoming spaces and communities with your craft. Can’t wait to see how you breath a new breathe of fresh air into your life with the new season! Seeing it in my home brings me joy.

It’s Summer Break

JOANN is always helping me spark my creativity and the materials I use make all the difference. Since its spring cleaning time, I think it’s a great opportunity to swap out those old materials and replace them with some fresh tools. JOANN has everything you need to feel like you’re in a new mindset and you can find all the materials I used (down below) in person and online.

JOANN is my go to when it comes to materials, especially the yarn I use! As a blogger, creating my own designs is made easy with them. You’ll see below that I have a favorite yarn – I am excited for you to try it out. (Spoilers: It’s Big Twist Value)

Down below, you can find the free and easy crochet project to create your own Roseate Rose Vase. I hope you can add this project to your new list of projects to make for your home – these flowers will never wilt!

This pattern is perfect for you if:

You need to add some home décor to your house
You want to practice your sewing skills.
You are looking for a pattern that is easy but still has more stitches to make it more challenging than an absolute beginner pattern.

JOANN is my favorite place to go for materials and the yarn I love the most for amigurumi can be exclusively found there as well.

Let’s Begin!

Main Body (Vase)

Begin in White

Rnd 1: 6 Single crochet into the Magic Ring (6) (Click here for video tutorial!)

Rnd 2: *Inc* around (12)

Rnd 3: *Sc, Inc* around (18)

Rnd 4: *Sc 2, Inc* around (24)

Rnd 5: *Sc 3, Inc* around (30)

Rnd 6: *Sc 4, Inc* around (36)

Rnd 7: *Sc 5, Inc* around (42)

Rnd 8: *Sc 6, Inc* around (48)

Rnd 9 – 16: Sc around (48)

Rnd 17: *Sc 6, Dec* around (42)

Rnd 18: *Sc 5, Dec* around (36)

Counting from the magic ring, insert the your safety eyes into round 13 with 9 stitches apart.

Rnd 19: *Sc 4, Dec* around (30)

Rnd 20: *Sc 3, Dec* around (24)

Rnd 21: *Sc 2, Dec* around (18)

(The rest of the pattern will be creating the top of the vase)

Rnd 22: *Sc 2, Inc* around (24)

Rnd 23: *Sc 3, Inc* around (30)

Rnd 24: *Sc 4, Inc* around (36)

Rnd 25: *Sc 5, Inc* around (42)

Rnd 26: In the BLO, Sc around (42)

We will now be creating the border

Rnd 27: Crab stitch around (photo tutorial below)

Slip stitch into the next stitch. Ch 1.

Insert your hook into the previous stitch (to the right of the current stitch)

(We will be performing a single crochet) Yarn over and pull through the first loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops as you would a single crochet

Continue single crocheting into each stitch around, crocheting to the right side. Here is how your crab stitch border will appear:

When reaching the end, insert your hook into the final white stitch (where your initial slip stitch was placed) Pull through both loops and slip stitch

From the top, you will be able to see the back loops exposed:

Top of the Vase

Begin in White

Rnd 1: 6 Single crochet into Magic Ring (6) (Click here for video tutorial!)

Rnd 2: *Inc* around (12)

Rnd 3: *Sc, Inc* around (18)

Rnd 4: *Sc 2, Inc* around (24)

Rnd 5: *Sc 3, Inc* around (30)

Rnd 6: *Sc 4, Inc* around (36)

Finish off and leave tail for sewing

**This will be important to know before moving forward:

If you would like to make the overfilling vase of flowers, keep following along the normal pattern. As you can see here, the border is more flat than standing. If you would like to be able to see the ride and top of the base, make 6 small flowers instead of just the 4 listed below.

High Border:

Flat border:

Flowers

Large (Make 2 in Blue and Green)

Chain 53

In 3rd chain from hook, Dc. Dc x 3 more in the same stitch (4 in total). **Sl st into next stitch, ch 1. Skip the following stitch, Dc x 4 into the next stitch. Repeat from **. Sl stitch into final stitch, finish off and leave tail for sewing.

Small Flowers (Make 4 in red, yellow, orange, and purple)

Chain 25

Your work will be curling when crocheting and you’ll be leftover with a curly mess.

With the ends of your piece, straighten out so the curls are in a spiral until it creates a rose shape (seen below):

With the tail of your yarn threaded through the darning needle, insert your needle upward through all the layers to the top. You will be going back down through all the layers in a “/\” shape.

Going back down through the flower, insert your needle through all layers

With your needle, insert through all the layers along the bottom of the rose to keep it secure.

Bow

Begin in light blue

Ch 10

Row 1: In 3rd chain from the hook, Sc. Sc across (8)

Row 2 – 4: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (8)

Switch to pink

Row 5 – 8: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (8)

Creating the border

Ch 1. Sc into the first stitch on the EDGE (or side) of your work. Sc x 2 into the same stitch (3 total)

Sc across until the color change – through the last loop of the single crochet in blue, pull the pink yarn through both loops.

Sc across until the corner stitch. Into the corner stitch, sc x 3 into the same stitch. Your work will naturally begin to turn.

Sc across until next corner, sc x 3 into the corner stitch.. Sc across the next edge and switch colors when applicable. Sc x 3 into the following corner stitch using the pink yarn.

Sc along the last edge. Into the last corner stitch, sc into the first stitch of the initial [sc x 3].

Into the middle stitch of the initial [sc x 3], sl st.

Finish off.

Using a long strand of brown yarn (roughly 50″ inches will do) insert through the center of the square panel.

Pinch your work so it is scrunched.

With your long tail of brown yarn, wrap around tightly to keep it in place. You can wrap as many times as you wish depending on how thick you would like it to be!

Weave the yarn through the back of the piece. Leave tail for sewing.

Assembly

The main body of the vase should be firmly stuffed in the first “ball” shape.

Using the piece for the top of the vase, thread your yarn through the darning needle. With your darning needle, insert into the first back loop (I like to start where the begin where the previous round ended) Have your needle begin from inside of the circle and then move outward.

Into the next loop, insert needle though the loop and next stitch on the piece being attached.

Continue weaving through corresponding loops and stitches.

For every 6th loop when going back into the stitches of the Vase Cover, insert into the SAME stitch from the previous stitch. This is to offset the math since there are 48 loops and only 42 stitches. (all see below)

As you can see below, both strands are going into the exact same stitch. Continue this all the way around!

As your work begins to close, be sure to stuff your work firmly

Attaching the Flowers

*The flowers on this pattern will be squished together pretty tightly. We have created the back two flowers to be taller / larger than the rest so it they can still be seen when looking forward at your vase. To begin, placement is going to be very important – Down below, you will see each placement and for every two roses, you will sew into place.

You can place the flowers in any way that YOU like!

Beginning with the blue flower, place in the back left position.

With the tall green rose, place on the back right, with both flowers squished together (it’s okay if you want some of the flower hanging off like like I did!)

Every time we get a good idea of positioning for 2 of our flowers, it will be a great time to start sewing (You can always pin the other flowers into place to make sure you’re happy with placement)

With your darning needle, pull through the bottom of the flower and pull through to sew into place.

Once the two back roses are attached, position the red and yellow flowers to the front of the base. Sew into place.

Time to sew on the last two flowers! Positioning to the TOP of the other flowers, place the orange in the front at a slight angle. Place the purple flower behind on top of the blue and green flowers.

Attaching the Bow

With the tail on the backend of the bow, attach to the very front and try to have it go UNDERNEATH the border of the vase top.

The last step to your project is to embroider the face on! Thread your yarn through your darning needle and add the eyelashes, smile, and blush!

With all your tails woven in and you’re feeling secure with all your pieces, you’re done!! Congrats!!!

I hope this fun project has a place in your home this spring. I myself will be moving into a new space at the time of writing this post and I am very excited to have a fresh start as well. I am so excited to try and “smell the roses” and I hope to see all of your online!

Let me know what kinds of things you’re going to be doing for yourselves in the comments below – perhaps craft even more?

Thank you to JOANN who continue to inspire me with everything they have to offer in this welcoming space. Be sure to find everything you need from JOANN stores in person and online! You’ll be seeing their lovely name around my channels, I guarantee you.
