The Crochet Pattern
Part 1: Petals
- Make a slip knot: Wrap yarn around your pinky finger and hold it. Insert hook under the yarn loop, yarn over, pull through, and tighten.
- Chain 73. Yarn over and pull through loop on hook, repeat until you have 73 chains.
- Row 1: First group
- Starting with the 5th chain from the hook, yarn over, insert hook into the stitch.
- Yarn over and pull through (3 loops on hook).
- Yarn over and pull through the first two loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops—this completes a double crochet (dc).
- Chain 1.
- Row 1: Continue groups
- Skip 1 stitch, double crochet (dc) in the next chain.
- Chain 1.
- Repeat dc, ch 1 across the row until the last chain (total groups equal 36 plus one last double crochet with chain 1 in Row 1).
- End Row 1:
- Make a final double crochet in the last chain, followed by a chain 1.
- Turn fabric to begin next row.
- Row 2 (Petals shaping):
- In each chain space from previous row, work 6 double crochets (dc).
- In the next chain space (between groups), work 1 single crochet (sc).
- Repeat these groups (6 dc in chain space, 1 sc in next chain space) to the end of the row.
- In the last chain space, only work 6 dc (no following sc).
- Cut yarn leaving about 30 cm (12 inches) tail for sewing.
Petals completion note: You now have one long, ruffled piece representing petals, ready to be gently rolled up. Keep this aside while starting leaves.
Part 2: Leaves
- Make a slip knot with green yarn.
- Chain 8.
- Insert hook into the second chain from the hook and make a slip stitch (sl st).
- Make 1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch.
- Make 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the next stitch: yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull through all 3 loops on hook.
- Make 3 double crochets (dc) in next 3 stitches.
- Make 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the next stitch.
- Make 1 single crochet (sc) in the last stitch.
- Rotate work to work on the opposite side of the chain foundation.
- Repeat the stitches symmetrically:
- Single crochet in first stitch.
- Half double crochet in the next stitch.
- 3 double crochets in the next 3 stitches.
- Half double crochet.
- Single crochet.
- End this round with 1 slip stitch (sl st) in the first stitch to close the round.
- Chain 1, cut yarn, and weave in the yarn tail.
Leaf completion note: The leaf now has a textured, symmetrical shape. Make one or two more leaves as desired for fuller arrangement.
Assembly & Finishing
- Begin assembly using the shorter yarn tail left on the petals piece.
- Gently roll the petals piece from one end to the other, adjusting tightness for preferred fullness.
- Use the long yarn tail to sew the petals in place—secure the roll tightly but maintain shape to mimic a natural rose bloom.
- Attach leaves to the base of the rolled petals using needle and yarn or glue gun, placing them under the petals for an organic look.
- Hide and weave in all remaining yarn tails neatly inside the flower.
- Optionally, add a pin back, hair clip, or other accessory as desired.
