We are to make measuring tape covers. As always she has posted some lovely patterns. Since I am in this "crocheting mode" I crochet one for myself.
A rose cover with a leaf for the tape pull
I used size 10 crochet thread, it is called OCEAN and I used a size 7 hookI just made a simple rose 4 layers of petals, then on the 5th layer I crocheted a circle of single crochets the size of my measuring tape (if and when I make another I would probably make another layer of petals to make the rose larger.
The bottom is just a circle of single crochets the size of the measuring tape and I crochet them together with half double stitch. The leaf is made from mint green and sewn to the pull tab.
I am sure I will go back over to her blog
and sew one as well . They are all so cute.

Such a wonderful cover. I love the little leaf. I have been collecting lots of patterns throughout the sew along.
