by Absolutely! Here’s a detailed and beginner-friendly guide to making a very easy crochet rose flower 🌷🌷. This pattern uses only basic stitches, so it’s perfect for first-time crocheters.
✅ What You’ll Need:
- Yarn – Medium-weight yarn (like acrylic or cotton) in any color you like
- Crochet Hook – Size 4.0 mm (G/6) or suitable for your yarn
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle – For sewing and weaving in ends
📚 Crochet Stitches Used (US Terms):
| Abbreviation | Stitch Name |
|---|---|
| ch | chain |
| sc | single crochet |
| dc | double crochet |
| sl st | slip stitch |
🌼 Step-by-Step Instructions:
✨ Step 1: Make the Foundation Chain
- Chain 51
(You can chain more or fewer, depending on how big or small you want your rose to be.)
✨ Step 2: Create Petal Base (Row 1)
- Start in the 3rd chain from the hook.
- Work the following into that stitch:
2 dc in the same stitch, ch 1 - Skip the next chain, then in the next chain:
2 dc in the same stitch, ch 1
➡️ Repeat this pattern across the entire chain:
- Skip 1 chain, then 2 dc + ch 1 in the next.
This creates a ruffled strip that will become your rose petals.
✨ Step 3: Make the Petals (Row 2)
- Turn your work.
- In each ch-1 space across, do the following:
sc, 3 dc, sc– all in the same space
➡️ This forms a curved petal in each space.
Keep repeating:sc, 3 dc, sc in each ch-1 space until you reach the end of the row.
✨ Step 4: Shape the Rose
- Start at one end of the strip and roll it tightly, forming a spiral flower.
- As you roll, you’ll see the petals naturally layer like a rose.
- Use your yarn needle and leftover yarn tail to sew through the base of the flower to secure the shape.
💡 Don’t pull too tight — just enough to keep the rose together.
✨ Step 5: Finishing Touch
- Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
- You can attach a leaf, pin, hair clip, or even glue it to a gift box!
🍃 Optional: Easy Crochet Leaf
You can make a leaf to go with your rose:
- Chain 8
- Work the following into each stitch:
- sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st
- Fasten off and sew it to the base of your rose.
🧺 Tips for Beginners:
- Use soft yarn like cotton for best results.
- Practice the stitches on a swatch first if you’re new.
- Don’t worry if your petals aren’t perfect — roses are naturally unique!
