Pattern

1. Base/Bouquet Shape

Start with primary color (e.g. off-white, yellow, pink):

Base

1. Magic Ring:
   • Make a magic ring (MR).
   • Round 1: Work 6 sc in MR. Pull ring tight. (6 sts)
   • Place a stitch marker at the start of each round.
2. Round 2:
   • 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)
3. Round 3:
   • [1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st] repeat around. (18 sts)
4. Round 4:
   • [1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat around. (24 sts)
5. Round 5:
   • [1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat around. (30 sts)
6. Round 6:
   • [1 sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat around. (36 sts)
7. Round 7:
   • [1 sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat around. (42 sts)

• Note: Continue to increase each round for a wider base by simply adding 1 more sc between increases (e.g., next round would be [1 sc in next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st], etc.)

8. Body Height:
   • Work 1 sc in each st around for about 8 rounds without increasing (to create bouquet height).
9. Decreasing to Shape:
   • [Sc2tog over next 5 sts, 1 sc in next 1 st] repeat around to decrease, as follows:
10. First Dec Round:
    • [Sc in each of next 5 sts, sc2tog] repeat around.
11. Next Dec Round:
    • [Sc in each of next 4 sts, sc2tog] repeat around.
12. Continue pattern, decreasing the sc st count between dec by 1 each round (next: 3, 2, 1) until the opening is almost closed.
    • Stuff with fiberfill before the opening gets too small!
13. Final Closure:
    • Sc2tog until closed, sl st to finish.
    • Fasten off, weave in end.

2. Crochet Rope/Tie

• Ch 10–15 (for a mini rope/tie).
• Optional: Make a long chain, then fasten off, weave ends, and attach as a ribbon to the bouquet base.

3. Crochet Rose (Flower)

With red or rose color:

1. Foundation:
   • Ch 10 (adjust for desired rose size).
2. Row 1 – Petal Base:
   • Dc in 4th ch from hook, 2 more dc in same ch (3 dc in same ch).
   • In next ch, 3 dc in same ch, repeat in each chain to end. You should have clusters of 3 dc.
   • Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
3. Forming Rose:
   • Roll the strip into a spiral shape (like a cinnamon roll), forming a flower.
   • Use a yarn needle to sew the base of the rose through the bottom layers to hold shape, or use hot glue to secure.

4. Crochet Leaf

With green yarn:

1. Magic Ring:
   • Make a magic ring.
   • Round 1: 6 sc in ring. Pull tight, sl st to first sc to close.
2. Leaf Bottom/Petal:

   • Sl st into next st on the ring to secure.
3. Repeat for More Petals/Leaflets:
   • Repeat for 2–3 total leaves (ch 4, sc in next 3, sl st in next on the ring each time).
4. Finishing:
   • Fasten off, weave in tail, keeping a long strand for sewing/attaching to bouquet.

Conclusion

Pattern Correction

• The rose is constructed with clusters of 3 dc in each chain, not in stitches.
• For the base/bouquet, always keep track of your increases and decreases for symmetrical shaping.
• This pattern is flexible: increase or decrease rounds and petal counts for customization.

Tips

• Use stitch markers to keep track of each round’s start for perfect shape.
• Stuff the base gradually; do not overstuff, to avoid distortion.
• Try both sewing and hot glue for assembly—choose what makes you feel confident.
• Practice the rose spiral technique with scrap yarn before assembling.
