Here is a crochet curlicue rose you can crochet in just a few minutes. They
look cute sewn on just about everything, perhaps a whole garden of them is in
order!
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Begin by making a chain. The longer the chain, the wider and fuller your rose
will be. I began by chaining 12,
Next, work 3 dc in each chain all the way across. It will begin to curl up
immediately, and by the time you get to the end, it will look like a rose.
You can use these same instructions to make a curlicue at this point, all you
have to do is weave the ends. However for a rose, you’ll keep it coiled up as
shown and stitch it together.
I usually start with the outermost tail and tack down the edge with a stitch or
two,
After that, thread the other tail with the tapestry needle and run it through the
middle to secure.
And then maybe a few around to hold it together a bit more. I have found that
if I don’t put enough stitches in, it tends to be a bit floppy. However, if you over
stitch it, I have found that it flattens out and looses a lot of its dimension. A
couple of well placed stitches are all you need.
To finish it off, tie off the back and weave in the ends.
Lovely! This one was about an inch and a half wide. Experiment with different
yarn and hook sizes for a variety of different blooms.
