🧵 Easy Rose Crochet Flower Pattern

This pattern creates a spiraled rose that rolls into a natural flower shape.

Step 1: Foundation Row

  • CH 51 (or more for a fuller rose)

Step 2: First Row – Base of Petals

  • SC in 2nd CH from hook and across. Turn.

Step 3: Second Row – Forming Petals

  • CH 1, skip 1 ST, (SC, HDC, DC, HDC, SC) all in next stitch – this creates a petal.
  • Repeat the petal group across the row, skip 1 ST in between.
  • You should end up with a string of small petals.

Step 4: Roll and Shape

  • Starting from one end, tightly roll the petal strip into a spiral to form the rose shape.
  • As you roll, sew the base (bottom of the petals) together using a yarn needle and matching thread/yarn.

🌸 Optional: Add Leaves

To make small leaves:

  • CH 6
  • SC in 2nd CH from hook, HDC in next, DC in next 2, HDC, SC in last.
  • SL ST back into the chain for a small leaf shape.
  • Attach 1–2 leaves to the base of your rose.

🌈 Customization Tips

  • Size: Use more chains in the foundation row for larger roses.
  • Color: Try classic red, soft pastels, or variegated yarn for a unique flower.
  • Texture: Velvet or shiny mercerized cotton yarns create more dramatic results.
