Materials Needed

For this project you’ll need:

• Hook: 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US
• Yarn: A small amount of Medium 4 worsted weight yarn / Aran 10 ply. This would make a great scrap yarn project

Abbreviations

• ch = Chain
• sl st = Slip Stitch
• st = Stitch
• SC = Single Crochet
• DC = Double Crochet

Repeat what’s in between * for the rest of the round.

Tips

• Make sure to leave a small tail before you make your slip knot, that can be worked in later.

Instructions to Start Crocheting

Step 1: Initial Chains

Ch 50

Step 2: Row 1

sc in 2nd ch from hook. * Ch 2, skip 1 ch, sc into next * repeat for the row. You should end perfectly on a sc. Ch 1 and turn.

Step 3: Row 2

We’ll be working in the ch 2 spaces from the last row.

Sc, dc, sc into ch 2 space. Repeat for the row.

You will notice your row starting to curve. That is what you want. Just a tip: Make sure the sc that you do after your dc won’t be loose. You want it to curve slightly to make your petals look better.

Step 4: Finishing the Row

At the end of the row ch 1 and cut your yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Leave even more of a tail if you plan on sewing the flower onto something.

Assembling the Rose

Step 1: Hiding the Tail

The first thing you should do is hide your first tail.

Step 2: Preparing to Roll the Flower

Then I highly recommend you thread your needle through the long tail because once you start rolling your flower, you’ll only have one hand!

Step 3: Starting to Form the Flower

Make sure the front side of your work is facing you. Then using your finger, start to wrap your piece around your finger.

The trick is always making sure that all your rows are showing as you wrap it.

Really take your time here and make sure you can keep all your rows in view.

Step 4: Securing the Last Petal

Then going through the bottom ch of the ending tip and into all of your rows on the back.

Pull through and * repeat but move over 2 sts then insert your hook again through all the stitches.*

Keep repeating until none of your petal rows are loose. Then turn it over.
