Step-by-Step Crochet Rose Pattern Instructions
Below is a simplified guide from our video tutorial to help you make your own crochet rose.
Starting the Rose Base with Chains and Single Crochet
Begin by chaining 44 stitches. Then, work single crochet stitches back across the row. This forms the base for your rose petals. It’s important to keep your tension even for a smooth foundation.
Creating the V Stitches and Petal Foundations
Next, you’ll create 15 “V stitches” across the row using double crochets and chains. These V stitches will become the base for each petal in your crochet rose bouquet.
Shaping the Petals for a Realistic Crochet Rose
In each V stitch, you’ll build petal layers with double crochets, chains, and additional rows. The final row adds full, layered texture. The last petal includes 6 double crochets to help you form the rose’s center tightly.
Assembling and Rolling the Crochet Rose Flower
Roll the rose starting from the wide end. As you spiral it inward, it naturally takes shape. Use thread or hot glue to hold the base in place. It should resemble a realistic blooming rose!
How to Crochet Leaves for Your Flower Bouquet
Adding leaves makes your crochet flower bouquet look more complete and organic. Here’s how to crochet simple yet elegant leaves.
Making the Leaf Base Using a Magic Ring
Start with a magic ring and work 20 double crochets into it. This forms a solid circle from which each leaf will grow. Secure with a slip stitch and you’re ready to build leaves.
Shaping and Attaching the Crochet Leaves
Chain 9 and shape the leaf with hdc, dc, and tr stitches. Repeat to make 5 leaves evenly spaced around the circle. Leave a long tail so you can wrap it around your skewer and attach it to your rose.
Final Assembly – Completing Your Crochet Rose Bouquet
Now it’s time to bring all the pieces together.
Attaching the Roses and Leaves to Stems
Pass the skewer through the magic ring in the leaf piece and glue it to the rose base. This step turns your rose into a bouquet stem.
Wrapping the Stems with Green Yarn
To finish, wrap green yarn around the skewer tightly to give it a polished, realistic stem look. Secure the end with a dab of glue or a tight knot.
