Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize these roses — I often change the petal colors to create multi-color blooms or ombre effects.

I sometimes use a lighter fingering yarn with a smaller hook to make tiny roses for hair clips and brooches.

If I want a fuller bloom, I make a longer starting chain or add extra petal rows to give more layers and depth.

For a sturdier stem, I double the floral wire or twist two wires together before wrapping with yarn for added strength.

I like to add embroidery or French knot centers for a stylized look instead of the plain center for variety.

To make a boutonniere, I trim the stem short and wrap a small length of floral tape for a neat finish I can pin on a lapel.

I often swap the hot glue for a few tight hand stitches when I want a fully washable item that still holds its shape.

I sometimes add beads or tiny leaves between petals for decorative accents that catch the light.

For wedding bouquets, I coordinate yarn colors and add ribbon wraps, using floral tape and wire to securely attach multiple stems together.

I recommend experimenting with different yarn textures like a slight halo or boucle to create interesting petal edges and softer looks.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the second chain when starting the HDC row can change your stitch count; always begin HDC in the 2nd chain from the hook to preserve the correct total stitches. ✗ Making your magic ring too tight will block the floral wire from fitting; leave a small hole in the MR so the wire or skewer can pass through easily. ✗ Not folding and securing the first petal properly will make the rose shape uneven; fold the first petal and sew it firmly to create a stable center before wrapping additional petals. ✗ Using a heavier yarn than recommended will make the petals bulky and lose detail; use Weight 4 yarn and a 4.0 mm hook for the intended delicate look and proportion.

— Rose :

Round 1 :

Step 1: Ch 47 (47)

Round 2 :

Step 2: In the 2nd chain from the hook, HDC down the entire chain (46)

Round 3 :

Step 3: Ch 5. Turn your work. Dc in the same stitch as the chain. Sk 2, (1 dc, ch 3, 1 dc) in the same stitch. Repeat [Sk 2, 1 dc, ch 3, 1 dc] until you reach the end of the row. Place 1 DC in the last stitch.

Infos :

Rose after Step 3 is completed: Ch 3

Round 4 :

Step 4: Ch 3. Turn your work. In the chain spaces, repeat [3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc] and sl st in the space between the two dc from the previous row. Ch 1. Repeat [(3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc), sl st, ch 1] to create the petals. Place 3 dc in the final chain space of the row. FO. Leave a 12" tail for sewing.

Infos :

[(3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc, sl st)] repeat in each of the chain 3 spaces from Step 3. Slip stitch in the gap where you skipped 2 stitches from Step 3.

— Calyx :

Round 1 :

Step 1: Place 6 dc in a ring. After the sixth dc, sl st to the top of the first dc to form a ring.

Info :

Leave a small hole in the center of the MR! Don't pull too tight - you need the hole to be big enough to fit your floral wire / wooden skewer through.

Round 2 :

Step 2: Ch 7. Starting from the 1st stitch from your hook: (sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, tr). Sl st to the next stitch in the MR. Repeat this 6 times total to form 6 leaves of the calyx. FO after the sixth leaf and leave a short tail. Tie this tail and the tail from the MR in a knot and weave in the ends.

— Leaf :

Info :

* OPTIONAL, 1 LEAF PER STEM * First, cut approximately an 8" piece of 22 gauge flexible floral wire. You will need this for the leaf.

Round 1 :

Step 1: Ch 12 (12)

Round 2 :

Step 2: For the leaf, you will be crocheting around the floral wire. Starting from the third chain from the hook: sc, HDC, DC, DC, TR, TR, DC, DC, HDC, 3 sc in the last chain.

Info :

To crochet around the wire, hold the wire in your hand alongside your work. Insert your hook through the chain and create a single crochet as usual, but make sure your stitch is created around the wire, holding it in place.

Round 3 :

Step 3: Fold your wire in half, with your work on the right side of the wire. We will now be working on the lefthand side of the wire, from right to left. Sk 1 st, HDC, DC, DC, TR, TR, DC, DC, HDC, sc.

Round 4 :

Step 4: If you like the look of your leaf, FO, leaving a short tail. Weave in your tail. Twist the remaining wire together so your work doesn't slide off.

Info :

Your leaf should look like this when finished. Twist the bottom of the wire to prevent your work from sliding off. If you want to add a textured edge to your leaf, proceed to Step 5 on the next page.

Round 5 :

Step 5: Sl st, chain 1, and sl st to the next st. Repeat this around the entire leaf. FO, weave in the end. Cut off any excess.

— Rose Assembly :

Info :

* PART 1: THE PETALS *

Round 1 :

Step 1: Begin with the side that does not have the yarn tails. Make sure the correct side of your work is facing you.

Round 2 :

Step 2: For the first petal only, fold it in half on itself. Take point A and fold it to touch point B.

Round 3 :

Step 3: Continue wrapping your work from right to left, folding the petals in on each other. The rose shape will become more pronounced.

Round 4 :

Step 4: Once you reach the end of your work, you can adjust the petals to your liking. I prefer the center petals to be tighter and the outside petals to be looser, like a real rose.

Round 5 :

Step 5: Thread your darning needle onto the longest tail for sewing.

Round 6 :

Step 6: Sew several stitches horizontally to secure the very last petal.

Round 7 :

Step 7: Sew several stitches through the base of your rose to secure it. These stitches do not need to be uniform. The more you sew, the more secure your rose will be.

Round 8 :

Step 8: Once your rose is secure, sew one final stitch so your two yarn tails are next to each other. Tie the yarn tails in a knot, and then weave the remaining tails in. Cut any excess yarn.

Info :

* PART 2: THE WIRE, CALYX, AND LEAF * You will need a 2mm floral wire stem and hot glue for this part.

Round 1 :

Step 1: Insert your floral wire through the center of your rose. Turn your rose upside down to make sure you can't see the wire from the top of the rose. Once you're satisfied with the placement, remove the wire, place a small amount of hot glue on the wire, and reinsert it into the rose to secure it.

Round 2 :

Step 2: With the wrong side of your calyx facing you, insert the floral wire through the middle of the MR. Push the calyx down the wire until it meets the rose.

Round 3 :

Step 3: The calyx should be positioned so that there is a leaf between each of the rose petals.

Round 4 :

Step 4: Once positioned properly, place a small amount of hot glue around the base of the rose. Slide the calyx down the wire to glue it in place.

Round 5 :

Step 5: Place a small amount of hot glue along the leaves, leaving the top portion without glue. Glue the leaf down in place. Repeat this for all six leaves of the calyx.

Round 6 :

Step 6: Place a small amount of hot glue at the base of the calyx and wire. Attach the same green yarn you used for the calyx and leaf. Quickly twist the wire to begin wrapping it before the glue dries.

Round 7 :

Step 7: After wrapping the wire for about 1.5-2 inches, add your leaf. Hold the leaf with the wire parallel to the wire stem. Wrap the yarn around both the leaf and stem, securing the leaf in place.

Info :

Your rose will look like this once you wrap and secure the leaf. Continue wrapping the entirety of the stem.

Assembly Instructions

  • Begin assembling petals by folding the first petal in half and aligning point A to point B, then continue wrapping right to left to form the rose center before sewing.
  • Thread your darning needle through the longest tail and sew several stitches horizontally across the last petal, then sew through the base to secure the shape.
  • Insert a 2mm floral wire through the center of the rose, check placement from the top, remove the wire, add hot glue to the wire, and reinsert to secure.
  • Slide the calyx onto the wire with the wrong side facing up, position a leaf between each petal, and secure the calyx with a small amount of hot glue around the base.
  • Apply hot glue to the calyx leaves (leave the top portion free), glue each leaf down, then add glue at the base and begin wrapping the wire with matching green yarn to finish the stem.

Important Notes

  • 💡Please read pages 3-4 in full before starting the pattern to understand materials and tips.
  • 💡This pattern is written in US crochet terminology; convert if you prefer UK terms before beginning.
  • 💡Use Weight 4 acrylic yarn and a 4.0 mm hook for best results; thicker yarn will reduce detail and change proportions.
  • 💡Leave a small hole in the magic ring so the floral wire can pass through the center of the calyx and rose easily.

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

Each finished rose measures approximately 2-3 inches across for the bloom, with stem length determined by the floral wire used (recommended 15 inches for a full stem).

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

You can, but the final size and detail will change; using heavier yarn will give a chunkier rose while lighter yarn makes a smaller, more delicate bloom. Adjust hook size accordingly.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is beginner friendly and written for crocheters with basic stitch knowledge (ch, sc, hdc, dc, tr, sl st). Follow the step-by-step photos for help.

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crafters finish one rose in 2-4 hours depending on experience and whether you make leaves and wire the stem; assembling a bouquet will take longer.
