3D very easy 3-color gorgeous crochet rose model explanation

Here’s a simple step-by-step explanation for making a 3D three-color crochet rose that’s beautiful and beginner-friendly. This rose uses basic stitches and layering to create a rich, dimensional flower using three different yarn colors.

🌹 Materials Needed:

• Worsted weight yarn in 3 colors (e.g., red, pink, green or any combo)
• Crochet hook (size H/5mm or appropriate for your yarn)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

💡 Overview:

This rose is made in three layers:

1. Inner petals (Color 1)
2. Middle petals (Color 2)
3. Outer petals + leaves (Color 3)

Each layer is crocheted as a strip of petals and then rolled and sewn to form a 3D rose.

🔄 Abbreviations (US terms):

• ch – chain
• sc – single crochet
• hdc – half double crochet
• dc – double crochet
• sl st – slip stitch
• st(s) – stitch(es)

🌺 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

🌸 PART 1: Inner Petals (Color 1)

1. Foundation chain: Ch 30
2. Petal Row:
   • In 3rd ch from hook: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) – 1 petal made
   • Skip 1 ch, in next ch repeat: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc)
   • Repeat until end – you’ll have about 14 petals
3. Fasten off and leave a long tail.

🌷 PART 2: Middle Petals (Color 2)

1. Foundation chain: Ch 36
2. Petal Row:
   • Work larger petals: (sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc, sc)
   • Skip 1 ch, repeat across
   • You’ll have ~17 petals
3. Fasten off and leave tail for sewing.

🍃 PART 3: Outer Petals & Leaves (Color 3)

1. Foundation chain: Ch 42
2. Petal Row:
   • Even larger petals: (sc, hdc, 2 dc, 2 dc, hdc, sc)
   • Skip 1 ch, repeat – ~20 petals
3. You can optionally add leaves at the end:
   • Ch 6, turn, sl st in 2nd ch, sc, hdc, dc, sl st in last – makes one leaf
   • Attach 2–3 around the rose

🌀 ASSEMBLY (The 3D Effect)

1. Roll and stitch each strip:
   • Start with the inner layer (Color 1), roll it gently into a spiral.
   • Stitch the base with a yarn needle to secure it.
2. Add middle layer (Color 2) around the first spiral.
3. Finish with outer layer (Color 3), sewing around the base.
4. Adjust the petals to fluff them and make it look natural.

✅ Tips:

• Use contrasting colors for a dramatic rose, or shades of the same color for realism (e.g., light pink → dark pink → green).
• You can glue or sew the rose to hats, hair clips, scarves, or brooches.
