🌹 How to Make a Crochet Rose Flower with Pink and Blue Yarn
This pattern will guide you through creating a layered rose with a pink inner center and blue outer petals — a lovely two-toned effect that mimics real rose color variations.
🧶 Materials Needed
- Pink yarn (for inner petals)
- Blue yarn (for outer petals)
- Green yarn (optional, for leaves or stem)
- Crochet hook – Size 3.5mm to 4.5mm (based on yarn weight)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle – for sewing and finishing
🧵 Stitches Used (US Terms)
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
🌺 Part 1: Crochet the Rose
🔸 Step 1: Foundation Chain
- Using pink yarn, ch 60.
(This gives you about 10 full petals. You can increase in multiples of 6 for more petals.)
🔸 Step 2: Create the Base for Petals
- Row 1 (with pink):
- In 2nd ch from hook, sc.
- [Skip 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2 ch, sc in next] – repeat until the end of the chain.
🔹 You now have a ribbon of scallops (each scallop is a petal).
🔸 Step 3: Add Outer Petals with Blue Yarn
- Turn your work and switch to blue yarn.
- Work this row into the base of each pink petal:
- In each 5-dc petal: (sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc) – one petal completed.
- Sl st between petals if needed for shaping.
💡 This creates a larger blue petal behind each pink one, giving a layered rose effect.
🔸 Step 4: Form the Rose Shape
- Starting at one end, roll the strip into a spiral:
- The tight center forms the rosebud (pink petals).
- As you roll outwards, the blue petals form the outer layers.
🔸 Step 5: Sew the Base
- Use a yarn needle and a leftover yarn tail.
- Sew through the bottom of the layers to secure the rose shape.
- Weave in all ends.
🍃 Part 2: Add Green Leaves (Optional)
Leaf Pattern (Simple Oval Leaf):
- With green yarn: ch 10
- In 2nd ch from hook:
- sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st in last 2 stitches
- Work back on the other side of the chain:
- sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc
- Sl st to join. Fasten off.
Make 2–3 leaves and sew them under the rose.
🌼 Tips for Best Results
- Use contrasting shades like baby pink with royal blue, or hot pink with navy blue for a bolder look.
- For a soft rose, use cotton yarn. For a shinier look, use acrylic yarn.
- You can lightly steam or shape petals by hand for more realism.
🖼️ Final Touches & Use Ideas
- Attach a brooch pin, hair clip, or headband.
- Sew onto a bag, hat, or cushion for decoration.
- Combine multiple roses into a bouquet.
