Crochet Rose Bouquet
Materials Needed:
- Green yarn
- Flower yarn (choose three different colors for a gradient effect, or use a single color for a classic look)
- Crochet hook (select the size that matches your yarn)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Thick wire or wooden sticks (for stems)
- Thin wire (for small branches)
- Glue gun
Foundation Row:
- Start by making a slip knot and placing it on your hook.
- Yarn over your hook and pull the yarn through the loop on your hook (this counts as your first chain).
- Continue making chains until you have 57 chains in your foundation row.
First Row:
- Skip the first three chains from your hook (these skip chains count as your first double crochet).
- In the third chain, yarn over, insert your hook into the chain, yarn over again, and pull up a loop (you’ll have three loops on your hook).
- Yarn over and pull through the first two loops, yarn over again, and pull through the remaining two loops.
- Continue making one double crochet in each chain across the foundation row.
Second Row:
- Turn your work to start the second row.
- Chain three (this counts as the first double crochet of the row).
- Skip the next two chains, in the third chain work one double crochet, chain one, and another double crochet into the same chain (this creates a V stitch).
- Repeat the process across the row: skip two chains, in the third chain make one double crochet, chain one, and one double crochet into the same chain.
- By the end of the row, you should have a total of 18 V stitches.
Third Row (Forming Petals):
- Turn your work and insert your hook into the first V stitch. Make a slip stitch to secure your yarn.
- Chain four (this counts as the first triple crochet), then yarn over the hook twice, insert the hook into the V stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (you’ll have four loops on your hook). Yarn over, pull through the first two loops, yarn over, pull through the next two loops, yarn over, and pull through the final two loops.
- In the same V stitch, make eight more triple crochets for a total of 10 triple crochets.
- Slip stitch into the gap between the first and second V stitches to anchor the petal.
- In each of the next five V stitches, work 10 triple crochets to form petals. After completing each petal, make a slip stitch in the gap between V stitches.
- For the sixth petal, prepare for a color change if making a gradient rose.
Color Change:
- When you reach the 10th triple crochet in the sixth V stitch, do not complete the last step of the stitch (leave two loops on the hook).
- Prepare your new yarn color and pull it through the two loops to complete the stitch.
- Secure the color change by making a slip stitch in the next gap between V stitches.
New Layer of Petals:
- Using the new yarn color, work eight double crochets into each of the next six V stitches to create smaller petals.
- Make a slip stitch in the gap between each V stitch after completing the petal.
- For the next color change, repeat the process as before.
Final Layer:
- Using the third color, work six half double crochets into each of the next six V stitches for the smallest petals.
- After completing the last petal, make a slip stitch in the next gap, chain one, cut the yarn, and tie a knot between the tails for a secure finish.
- Trim any excess tails.
Creating the Sepal:
- Make a magic ring (overhand knot method recommended).
- Chain one to secure the ring, then make nine single crochets into the ring.
- Pull the tail gently to tighten the center, then slip stitch into the first single crochet of the ring.
- Chain seven to start creating the first leaf.
- Slip stitch into the first chain, single crochet in the next chain, half double crochet in the following chain, and double crochet in each of the next three chains.
- Skip one single crochet of the foundation row, and slip stitch in the next single crochet.
- Repeat the pattern to create five leaves in total.
Assembling the Rose:
- Cut a piece of thick wire for the stem.
- Apply hot glue to the top of the wire, and begin attaching the crochet rose petals with the front side of the petals facing inward.
- Gradually twist the petals around the stem, applying glue as you go until all petals are attached.
- Slide the sepal onto the wire with the front side facing outward.
- Apply glue to the base of the rose and firmly attach the sepal.
- Wrap green yarn tightly around the wire to create the stem, securing the yarn end with glue.
Creating Small Branches:
- For the branches, measure and cut thin wire to twice the desired length of the stem and leaf.
- Make 15 chains with your green yarn, then carefully thread the wire through the chain foundation.
- Begin crocheting around the wire: slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, eight double crochets, half double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch.
- Repeat for each leaf. For the tutorial, make three branches with three leaves each.
- Assemble the branches by wrapping green yarn around the stems and securing with glue.
Final Assembly:
- Once all components are complete, bind them together to form the bouquet.
- Place in a vase or wrap in paper for a beautiful presentation.
