'giant knit' scarf with a crochet rose

I had some leftover wool and I wanted to knit a scarf with giant needles, to make the scarf light and flowing. Adding a crocheted rose adds a bit of interest. Is it maybe too big...? Maybe a smaller one...?

I looked around in a search of a rose pattern that shows the petals more distinguished. And there it was, a great pattern for a rose on The Dark Knit blog. Click on the link for the written instructions on how to make it.  After many attempts, here is the rose with distinguished rose petals.
