Do you love roses, but don't have a green thumb?Don't worry!It's easy to make crocheted roses.Pick your yarn and let your skills grow.
Step 1: Consider your project.
Do you make roses for practice or do you want to affix them to something else?Think about attaching roses to a scarf, jacket, blanket, or hat.You have to decide how many roses you want and how large.
Step 2: Pick your yarn.
You'll be able to see the stitches if you use a worsted weight yarn.Consider how the roses will be used.Specialty yarn can be used if they're adding a scarf or purse.Make sure the texture of the yarn matches what you're attaching it to.
Step 3: Pick your hook.
This is determined by the type of yarn you choose.The suggested hook size should be given by the yarn package.Worsted weight yarns will work with a number 5 hook.The suggestion of a hook size doesn't have to be followed.
Step 4: You can create a slipknot.
You can make a loop from the free end of the yarn.Behind your loop, the free end should hang.Pull the free end of the crochet hook through the loop and onto the hook.
Step 5: The chain has 60 stitches.
Don't count your first stitch towards the 60 chains.To make a chain stitch, you need to hold the hook in your right hand and loop the yarn over your left index finger.The end of the slipknot should be between your thumb and middle finger.Bring the yarn from the back to the front of the hook and use the loop on it to draw it through the shaft.The first row is a foundation chain.
Step 6: There are more stitches.
You already have 60 chains.When you start crocheting the following rows, this will maintain the height.
Step 7: The fourth chain is from your hook.
Continue crocheting the row because this will count as turning your work.Attach your hook to the fourth chain.Pull the yarn through the chain.You should have three loops on your hook.Pull through two loops on your hook.You should have a single loop on your hook.
Step 8: Double crochet on your foundation chain.
The gap between your hook and the chain should not be closer to it.If you want to double crochet, insert your hook and yarn over your chain.Pull up a loop and pull through two.Continue this across the chain.
Step 9: Count the stitches.
Once you complete the row, make sure you have 60 stitches.
Step 10: You should turn your work.
When you turn your work, it means rotating it so that the last stitch you worked becomes the beginning of the next row.
Step 11: It's possible to create a scallop.
Double crochet 6 times into the next stitch.All the way across.If you want to double crochet, put your hook under both loops, yarn over, and pull up.You should have at least three loops on your hook.Pull through two with yarn over.
Step 12: The scallops should be secured.
You can skip one stitch and single crochet.All the way across.Attach your hook from front to back in the center of the second chain.You should have 2 loops on your hook.Pull the yarn through the chain by twisting it around the hook.You should have 2 loops on your hook.If you want to go through the 2 loops, Yarn over again and draw through them.You will have single crochet stitches.
Step 13: Continue securing the scallops all the way across your row.
Step 14: Bind it off.
Wrap the yarn around the hook and pull it through the loop.
Step 15: Your rose needs to be shaped.
Roll your piece so the edges face out.Since you'll need to secure them later, make sure to keep the straight edges lined up.A smaller ruffled rose will be created if the piece is wrapped tightly.Wrap until you find a shape you like.
Step 16: Make sure the base of your rose is secure.
Use the tail from your piece to thread a darning or embroidery needle.The needle should be inserted into the next row.Pull through the end of the piece.
Step 17: You need to work your thread through the base.
Continue working through the bottom of the row using your threaded needle.It is important to pass through all of the rose's layers.The thread should be worked back and forth until the rose feels secure.
