Pattern Instructions
Crocheting the Rose Motif
- Start with a Magic Ring (mr):
Create a magic ring and secure it with a tight chain. This will form the rose’s center. - Round 1: Crochet 10 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Use a slip stitch (sl st) to join to the first sc. Pull the magic ring tight.
- Round 2 (Petals Foundation): Chain 3, skip one stitch, and slip stitch (sl st) into the next stitch. Repeat this sequence around to create 5 small loops.
- Round 3 (First Layer of Petals): Working into each loop, crochet (sc, 3 dc, sc). This creates a petal over each chain loop.
- Round 4 (Second Layer of Petals):
- Behind the first petal layer, create new loops: Chain 4, slip stitch into the base of the previous round’s stitches.
- Into each loop, crochet (sc, 5 dc, sc) for fuller petals.
- Fasten off the yarn and leave a long tail if sewing the rose onto squares later.
Crocheting the Leaves
- Chain 10 to form the foundation.
- Work into the chain as follows: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st. This creates an elongated leaf shape.
- Fasten off and leave a tail for attaching the leaf to the rose or base square.
Crocheting the Base Square
- Foundation Chain: Chain 32 (or adjust for desired square size).
- Work in double crochet (dc) across each row. Begin each row with a turning chain of 3 to maintain height consistency.
- Repeat for 20 rows (or until square block reaches the desired size).
- Fasten off and weave in ends with your tapestry needle.
