PRETTY SIMPLE CROCHET

I like to embellish a lot of my work with a small flower or two. If you would like to learn how to work up a crochet flower in two different sizes then read on to get the free pattern!

There’s also a VIDEO Tutorial to accompany the pattern for the small rose and leaf!

Crochet Flower with three leaves

In this tutorial, you’ll find two crochet flower patterns for:

  • A small rose
  • A mini rose

I’ve also included the pattern for the leaf to accompany this rose.

These adorable roses are very quick and simple crochet projects, perfect for beginners.

For the small rose pattern, I’ve included some photos of the process to make it easier for you.

USES FOR CROCHET FLOWERS

Crochet flowers can be added to any number of items such as blankets, hats, afghans and shoes to give a lovely finishing touch to a project.

I decided to add the small rose to the Freya Frilly Romper and Bluebell Baby Bonnet (see image below). I think that it finishes both these items off very nicely and makes them even more charming!

The mini rose is indeed very tiny, and it’s the perfect size to enhance a little baby shoe, such as the Gracie Baby Bootie:

The information detailed below applies to both the small rose and the mini rose.

LEVEL

Basic (see details of project levels at the Craft Yarn Council).

MATERIALS
  • Yarn: Leftover yarn in #3, light worsted / DK / 8 ply.
  • Crochet Hook: C (3mm)

FINISHED SIZE

Small rose:

2 inches x 2 inches (5cm x 5cm)

Mini rose:

3/4 inches x 3/4 inches (2cm x 2cm)

STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

ch(s) – chains(s)

dc – double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook). Yo, pull through remaining 2 loops. 1 double crochet completed.

fasten off – To fasten off securely, work one chain, then cut the yarn leaving a 5 – 6” tail. Pull the tail through the loop that is on your hook. Tighten gently.

SPECIAL STITCHES

V stitch – (1dc, ch2, 1dc) in same stitch.

Shell st – 6dc in ch2 sp.

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terms used throughout.
  • To adjust the size of the roses: use a thicker yarn and larger hook to increase the size; use a thinner yarn and smaller hook for smaller flowers.
  • I have provided full written instructions at the beginning of each row. I then break down these instructions and provide photos of the required steps / stitches for greater clarification.
SMALL ROSE PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS

Ch25

Row 1. 1dc in 5th ch from hook (skipped 4 chs count as 1dc and ch2), *sk 1 ch, (1dc, ch2, 1dc) in next ch*, repeat from * to * until end of row, TURN [11 V sts].

Work 1dc in the 5th ch from your hook:

Rose Step 1A

By working into the 5th ch from the hook, the first V st has been made (the 4 chs that you skipped at the beginning count as 1dc and a ch2):

Flower Step 1b

The following stitches that you will now work will form the pattern repeat (the instructions between * to *):

Sk 1 ch, work the next V st (1dc, ch2, 1dc) in the next ch:

Rose Step 1c

Work the pattern repeat across to the end of the row.

At the end of row 1 you should have 11 v sts:

Rose Step 1d

Row 2. Ch1, 6dc in ch2 sp, *1sc in sp before next V st, 6dc in ch2 sp*, repeat from * to * until the end of the row (11 shell sts).

Ch1 and work 6dc in the 1st ch2 sp:

Rose Flower Step 2a

Flower Step 2b

The following stitches that you will now work will form the pattern repeat (the instructions between * to *):

Work 1sc in the sp before the next V st:

Rose Step 2c

Flower Step 2d

Work 6dc (shell) in the next ch2 sp:

Flower Step 2e

Work the pattern repeat across to the end of the row.

At the end of row 2 you should have 11 shells:

Crochet Rose Step 2f

Cut your yarn, leaving a long tail for forming and securing the shape of the rose, and for sewing it onto another item. Weave in tail from the beginning of the foundation chain.

FORMING THE ROSE

Starting with the end of row 2 that you have just worked, begin by rolling the petals into a spiral shape, as shown in the images below:

Rose Step 3

This is what the back of the rose will look like after it has been rolled fully:

Flower Step 4

Once the flower has been formed, take your tapestry needle and make a few stitches on the underside of the rose to secure it and ensure the petals do not unravel. Do not worry about the stitching being too neat (see photo below):

Crochet Rose Step 5

LEAF PATTERN

Ch8

Row 1. 1sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1hdc in next ch, 1dc in next 2 ch, 2dc in next ch, 1hdc in next ch, 1sc in last ch, ch2, working up the other side of the ch, 1sc in 1st ch, 1hdc in next ch, 2dc in next ch, 1dc in next 2 ch, 1hdc in next ch, 1sc in last ch, sl st in tip of leaf to join.

Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.

Below is a photo of the completed small rose attached to the Freya Frilly Romper:

MINI ROSE PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS

This is an even simpler design, consisting of just 1 row.

Ch6

Row 1. 1hdc in 2nd ch from hook, 2hdc in same ch, *3hdc in next ch*, repeat from * to * until end of row, [15 hdc sts].

Cut yarn, leaving a fairly long tail for sewing the rose onto another item.

This mini rose will naturally curl itself.

Sew it onto your baby bootie or other item of your choice.

I hope that you enjoyed it 😊
