Description
This crochet flower bundle pairs two roses, one a rich red and one a soft pale pink, on sage green stems with leaves worked in matching stitches. The pink rose opens out in layered petals, the red rose sits rounder and tighter beside it, and a sprig of small leaves rises above them both. The stems are tucked into a pink card patterned with soft flower shapes and printed in gold lettering: "lovely GRANDMA ...if grans were flowers, I'd pick you." The whole piece stands 34cm tall, 11cm wide and 7cm deep.
We think it makes a lovely gift for a grandmother, a little way of saying she is the one you would pick. The printed verse does the talking, so it suits a grandchild of any age to give, whether it arrives with a visit or tucked in alongside a card. Once it is home with her, it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a dressing table, a kitchen windowsill or a shelf of family frames. Because the roses are crochet, they never need water, never wilt and never drop petals, so the pink and red stay as bright as the day she opened it.
Each rose, stem and leaf is shaped in crochet stitches, with the petals gently layered and the stems gathered together with a fine tie below the flowers. To keep the bundle looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and ease any petal or leaf back into place with your fingers. Keep it out of damp spots and away from strong direct sunlight, which can fade colours over time. For giving, it needs little more than a ribbon or a sheet of tissue, as the card and its message make it ready to hand straight to her.
