by Certainly! Here’s a detailed and easy-to-follow guide on how to crochet a rose flower using three colors. This layered rose will have petals in three different shades (for example: light pink, medium pink, and dark pink — or any combination like yellow, red, and white) to create a realistic and beautiful color gradient effect.
🌹 How to Make a Crochet Rose Flower with Three Colors
This pattern is for a layered rose, where each round or layer of petals uses a different color. The flower is worked in rows and then rolled to form the rose shape.
🧶 Materials Needed
- 3 yarn colors (e.g., Light Pink, Medium Pink, and Dark Pink OR any 3 colors of your choice)
- Crochet hook – Size 3.5mm or suitable for your yarn
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Tip: Use cotton or acrylic yarn in DK or worsted weight.
🧵 Stitches Used (US Terminology)
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
🌸 Pattern: Three-Color Layered Rose Flower
We’ll work in three parts — each in a different color — to build the layers of the rose.
🔶 Step 1: Inner Petals (Color 1 – Light Pink)
- With Color 1, chain 31 (for 5 small petals; you can increase in multiples of 6 for more petals).
- In 2nd ch from hook, sc.
- [Skip 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2 ch, sc in next] – repeat this across the row.
➡️ You now have 5 small petals in Color 1.
🔷 Step 2: Middle Petals (Color 2 – Medium Pink)
- Change to Color 2 (do not cut Color 1 — just carry or weave in).
- Chain 36 (for 6 petals).
- Repeat the petal pattern:
- sc, skip 2, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2, sc across.
➡️ You have 6 medium-sized petals in Color 2.
🔴 Step 3: Outer Petals (Color 3 – Dark Pink or Red)
- Change to Color 3.
- Chain 42 (for 7 petals).
- Use larger stitches for bigger petals:
- sc, skip 2, 5 tr (treble crochet) in next ch, skip 2, sc across.
➡️ You now have 7 large outer petals in Color 3.
🌀 Step 4: Assemble the Rose
Once you have your 3 strips of petals:
- Start with the smallest strip (Color 1) — roll it tightly to form the rose center.
- Continue rolling the second strip (Color 2) around the center — slightly looser.
- Finish by wrapping the third strip (Color 3) around the outside — loosely to make it bloom.
- Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the base of the flower securely.
🍃 Optional: Add Leaves
Simple Leaf Pattern:
- With green yarn: Ch 10
- Work: sc, hdc, dc, tr, tr, dc, hdc, sc, sl st
- Turn and work the same on the opposite side.
- Fasten off and attach under the flower.
🎨 Color Combination Ideas:
| Color 1 (Center) | Color 2 (Middle) | Color 3 (Outer) |
|---|---|---|
| Light Pink | Medium Pink | Dark Pink |
| Yellow | Orange | Red |
| White | Lilac | Purple |
| Peach | Coral | Burgundy |
🌼 Tips:
- Use variegated yarn if you prefer the rose to have a gradient automatically.
- Block the petals using light steam or pressing for a more open flower.
- Use hot glue or a pin backing if you’re turning it into an accessory.
