🌹 Easy Crochet Rose Pattern
Step 1: Make the Base Strip
- CH 51 (you can adjust for a bigger or smaller rose).
Step 2: Create Petal Foundation
- In the 2nd CH from hook, work 1 SC.
- In the next CH, work 1 HDC.
- In the next CH, work 3 DC.
- In the next CH, work 1 HDC.
- In the next CH, work 1 SC.
- Repeat this petal sequence (SC, HDC, 3 DC, HDC, SC) across the chain.
Step 3: Shape the Rose
- Once you finish the row, you’ll see a wavy strip — this is the foundation for your rose.
- Roll the strip tightly into a spiral, forming the rose shape.
- Use the yarn needle and matching yarn to sew through the base layers to secure the rose.
✨ Customization Ideas
- Bigger Roses: Start with a longer foundation chain.
- Two-Tone Roses: Use one color for the base and switch to another color halfway through.
- Leaf Addition: Crochet a simple green leaf and attach it to the bottom for a realistic touch.
