Woven Wheel Rose and Variations

Woven Wheel Rose * Open Woven Wheel Rose

Woven wheel rose. Start with a frame of 5 straight stitches in the shape of a star converging at A, the rose center.  Next, come up with your needle near A and begin to weave over and under the straight stitch spokes. You will not be piercing the fabric, just weaving. Continue until the spokes of your wheel are completely covered. Bring the needle down through the fabric at the edge of the rose and weave under the stitches on the wrong side of the fabric to secure.

Open woven wheel rose. Start with a frame of 5 straight stitches radiating from a circular group of stitches, such as a cluster of French knots. Next, come up with your needle near the center stitches and begin to weave over and under the straight stitch spokes. Once the spokes are covered, bring the needle back down through the fabric.
