Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Create Foundation Chain
- Start with the White Yarn (base color):
- Make a slip knot and chain 80 chains.
- If making a larger rose, chain in multiples of 3 for proper spacing during rows.
Step 2: Single Crochet Base Row
- Skip the first chain from the hook and insert into the second chain.
- Work 1 sc into each chain across.
- At the end of the row:
- You will have 79 sc.
- Turn your work and prepare for the next round.
Step 3: Create Foundation Spaces
- Ch 3: Counts as the first double crochet (dc).
- Turn your work and work into the previous sc row:
- Skip 2 stitches, then 1 dc in the 3rd stitch from the current position.
- Ch 2, and work 1 dc in the same stitch (creates a V-shaped space for petals).
- Repeat across:
- Skip 2 stitches, then (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) into the 3rd stitch.
- Continue until you form 27 spaces along the row.
Step 4: Prepare Petals Foundation
- Ch 3: Counts as the first dc, and turn your work.
- In the first ch-2 space, work:
- 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc (forms one petal foundation).
- Repeat the petal foundation in each ch-2 space across.
- For every space, crochet 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc, ensuring a total of 27 petal foundations.
Step 5: Crochet Petals
- Using the Same White Yarn:
- In the first foundation space: Work 8 dc, forming one petal.
- Between petals:
- After completing 8 dc in each petal space, secure the petal by working 1 sc into the space between petals.
- Repeat across:
- Continue working 8 dc for each petal foundation, securing petals with sc between foundations.
Step 6: Add Secondary Color
- Attach Purple Yarn:
- Secure the purple yarn at the base of the last petal.
- Work 9 dc into the first foundation space (instead of 8, for a slightly larger petal).
- Secure with 1 sc into the space between petals.
- Continue:
- Alternate between 8 dc (for general petals) and 9 dc (for the first and last petals only) for a total of 16 purple petals.
- Finish the purple petal row by fastening off and weaving in ends.
Step 7: Assemble the Rose
- Roll the Petals:
- Start with the first petal from the center.
- Roll the fabric gently, forming layers of petals that overlap naturally.
- Secure While Rolling:
- Use fasteners or clips to temporarily hold the layers in place.
- Attach the Base:
- Secure the back of the rose with hot glue or sew through the layers to ensure the rose remains tightly rolled.
