Finished crochet rose made with medium-weight yarn.

Supplies Needed:

• Bella Coco Crochet yarn, size 4 medium weight
• 5 mm crochet hook
• Darning needle (for weaving in ends)
• Scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Beginning of the strip: foundation chain and first double crochet clusters.

Row 1:

Start by creating a slip knot.

Chain 52.

Building the Base:

Place a double crochet in the fourth chain from the hook.

Chain 4, then place another double crochet in the same stitch.

Skip 3 chains, then in the fourth chain, place a double crochet, chain 4, and place another double crochet in the same stitch.

Repeat this pattern along the chain. You will have 13 chain-4 spaces by the end of this row.

Chain-4 spaces forming the bases for each petal.

Row 2:

Chain 3 and turn your work.

Work 10 double crochets into the first chain-4 space.

Place a slip stitch between the set of double crochets that are in one stitch.

Chain 2. This completes the first petal.

Repeat this process (10 double crochets in each chain-4 space, followed by a slip stitch and chain 2) for the next 6 petals, creating a total of 7 petals.

Transition to Smaller Petals:

Transition to smaller petals using half double crochets.

After the 7th petal, chain 1 instead of chaining 2.

Work 10 half double crochets in the next chain-4 space.

Slip stitch, then chain 1 and repeat for a total of 3 half double crochet petals.

Final Petals:

For the last 3 chain-4 spaces, work 10 single crochets in each space, finishing each petal with a slip stitch and chain 1.

Strip of petals ready to be rolled and sewn into a rose.

Assembly:

Cut a decent-sized strand of yarn and thread it on your darning needle.

Start rolling the crocheted piece from the single crochet petals to the larger petals, keeping the base edge aligned.

Sew along the base to secure the rose shape, making sure to catch various parts to keep it together.

Tie off the yarn ends and weave them in or use them to attach the rose to your project.

Final Touches:

Adjust the petals as needed to achieve your desired look.
