 Introduction & Notes
Thank you so much for supporting me by
purchasing my Rose Pattern!

Please read pages 3-4 in full before

starting the pattern.

The rose pattern is suited for beginners with

knowledge of basic crochet stitches.
This pattern is written in US crochet terminology.
I use Weight 4 acrylic yarn, such as Big Twist Value
or Red Heart Super Saver. If you choose to use a
thicker yarn, your rose will turn out too chunky and
lose some of the details.

Rose Pattern:
In your desired flower color:
Step 1: Ch 47 (47)
Step 2: In the 2nd chain from the hook, HDC down the entire
chain (46)
Step 3: Ch 5. Turn your work. Dc in
the same stitch as the chain. Sk 2, (1
dc, ch 3, 1 dc) in the same stitch.
Repeat [Sk 2, 1 dc, ch 3, 1 dc] until
you reach the end of the row. Place 1
DC in the last stitch. Dc in the same
stitch as the chain.
Rose after Step 3 is completed:

Ch 3

 Step 4: Ch 3. Turn your work. In the chain spaces, repeat [3
dc, 1 tr, 3 dc] and sl st in the space between the two dc from
the previous row. Ch 1. Repeat [(3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc), sl st, ch 1] to
create the petals. Place 3 dc in the final chain space of the
row. FO. Leave a 12" tail for sewing.

[(3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc, sl st)]

repeat in each of the
chain 3 spaces from The [(3 dc, 1 tr, 3
Step 3 dc, sl st)] repeat
creates the
petals

Slip stitch in the gap

where you skipped 2
stitches from Step 3.

 Your rose will look like this
once you complete Step 4.

Calyx Pattern:
In green:
Step 1: Place 6 dc in a ring. After the sixth dc, sl st to the
top of the first dc to form a ring.

Leave a small hole in the

center of the MR! Don't pull
too tight - you need the hole
to be big enough to fit your
floral wire / wooden skewer
through.

8
 Step 2: [Ch 7. Starting from the 1st stitch from your hook:
(sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, tr)]. Sl st to the next stitch in the MR.
Repeat this 6 times total to form 6 leaves of the calyx. FO
after the sixth leaf and leave a short tail. Tie this tail and
the tail from the MR in a knot and weave in the ends.

Crocheting down
the chain, you'll
repeat: [sl st, sc,
hdc, dc, dc, tr]
and sl st to the
next stitch in the
MR.

Create 6 leaves
to form the
calyx

 * OPTIONAL, 1 LEAF PER STEM *

Leaf Pattern:
First, cut approximately an 8" piece of 22 gauge flexible floral
wire. You will need this for the leaf.

In green:
Step 1: Ch 12 (12)
Step 2: For the leaf, you will be crocheting around the
floral wire.
Starting from the third chain from the hook: sc, HDC, DC,
DC, TR, TR, DC, DC, HDC, 3 sc in the last chain.

To crochet around the wire, hold

the wire in your hand alongside
your work. Insert your hook
through the chain and create a
single crochet as usual, but make
sure your stitch is created around
the wire, holding it in place.

10
Step 3: Fold your wire in half, with your work on the right side of
the wire. We will now be working on the lefthand side of the wire,
from right to left. Sk 1 st, HDC, DC, DC, TR, TR, DC, DC, HDC, sc.

This is what your leaf will look like

after Step 2 and after folding your
wire in half. For Step 3, you'll be
working down the opposite side of
your chain and wire to form the
other half of your leaf. Crochet
over your tail so you don't need to
weave it in later.

Step 4: If you like the look of your leaf , FO, leaving a short tail.
Weave in your tail. Twist the remaining wire together so your
work doesn't slide off.

Your leaf should look like this

when finished. Twist the bottom of
the wire to prevent your work
from sliding off.

If you want to add a textured edge to your leaf,

proceed to Step 5 on the next page.

11
 The leaf will look like
this without Step 5.

To add a textured edge to your leaf, proceed with Step 5.

This is an optional step.

Step 5: Sl st, chain 1, and sl st to the next st. Repeat this

around the entire leaf. FO, weave in the end. Cut off any
excess.

This is the finished

leaf with the
textured edge.
Adding a Ch 1
between each sl st
creates this ridge.

Rose Assembly:
* PART 1: THE PETALS *

Step 1: Begin with the

side that does not
have the yarn tails.
Make sure the correct
side of your work is
facing you.

B Step 2: For the first

petal only, fold it in
half on itself. Take
point A and fold it to
touch point B.
A

13
Step 3: Continue wrapping your work from right
to left, folding the petals in on each other. The
rose shape will become more pronounced.

Step 4: Once you reach

the end of your work, you
can adjust the petals to
your liking. I prefer the
center petals to be
tighter and the outside
petals to be looser, like a
real rose.

14
 Step 5: Thread your
darning needle onto the
longest tail for sewing.

Step 6: Sew several

stitches horizontally to
secure the very last
petal.

Step 7: Sew several

stitches through the
base of your rose to
secure it. These stitches
do not need to be
uniform. The more you
sew, the more secure
your rose will be.

15
 Step 8: Once your rose is secure,
sew one final stitch so your two
yarn tails are next to each other.
Tie the yarn tails in a knot, and
then weave the remaining tails in.
Cut any excess yarn.

Your finished rose will look

like this. You can adjust
the petals to your liking.

Rose Assembly:
* PART 2: THE WIRE, CALYX, AND LEAF *
You will need a 2mm floral wire stem and hot glue for this part.

Step 1: Insert your floral wire through the

center of your rose. Turn your rose
upside down to make sure you can't see
the wire from the top of the rose. Once
you're satisfied with the placement,
remove the wire, place a small amount
of hot glue on the wire, and reinsert it
into the rose to secure it.

Step 2: With the wrong side

of your calyx facing you,
insert the floral wire
through the middle of the
MR. Push the calyx down the
wire until it meets the rose.

17
 Leaf
Petal Petal
Step 3: The calyx
Leaf should be positioned
so that there is a leaf
between each of the
Petal
rose petals.

Step 4: Once positioned

properly, place a small
amount of hot glue
around the base of the
rose. Slide the calyx
down the wire to glue it
in place.

18
 Step 5: Place a small
amount of hot glue along
the leaves, leaving the
top portion without glue.
Glue the leaf down in
place. Repeat this for all
six leaves of the calyx.

Step 6: Place a small

amount of hot glue at
the base of the calyx and
wire. Attach the same
green yarn you used for
the calyx and leaf.
Quickly twist the wire to
begin wrapping it before
the glue dries.

19
Step 7: After wrapping the
wire for about 1.5-2
inches, add your leaf. Hold
the leaf with the wire
parallel to the wire steam.
Wrap the yarn around
both the leaf and stem,
securing the leaf in place.

Your rose will look like

this once you wrap and
secure the leaf.
Continue wrapping the
entirety of the stem.

20
 Step 8: Once you've reached
the end of the stem, place a
small amount of hot glue.
Continue wrapping the yarn
over the hot glue to secure it
in place. Cut off any excess.

You finished! Take a
