This Crochet Rose Cutie is a delightful little creation that looks like a cheerful rose plant nestled in a pot.
The flower petals are made with yarn in vibrant shades of red or orange, making the rose blossom appear bright and lovely.
In contrast, the stem is crocheted with a lush green yarn, giving it the look of a real plant stalk.
Below the stem, the pot is shaped with brown yarn, adding to the illusion that this crochet rose is sitting in rich soil, just like a plant in a pot would.
To bring a touch of joy and character to the piece, you can give the plant pot a cute smiling face, making anyone who sees it say "wow" at its cuteness and charm.
This Crochet Rose Cutie is perfect for adding a cozy touch of nature to any room, without the need for watering!

Special Instructions - Stitches
Use a 'yarn under' technique on the first pass of each single crochet stitch for a tighter fabric.
Crochet Rose Leaves:
- With yarn D (green), ch 8.
- Rnd 1: Starting from the 3rd ch from hook, work the following stitches:
- 1dc, 2tr, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc, sl st, ch 1
- Working on the opposite side of the ch, slip stitch into the next st, proceed with 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 2tr, 1dc, ch 2 and sl st into the same st as the last dc (20 sts).
- Fasten off yarn D, weave in ends. Make a total of two leaves.
Crochet Rose Petals:
- With yarn C (red), create a magic ring.
- Rnd 1: Inside ring work 6sc, sl st to join, ch 1.
- Rnd 2: 2sc in each st, join, ch 1 (12 sts).
- Rnd 3: [1sc in next st, 2sc in next st] repeat 6 times, join, ch 1 (18 sts).
- Rnd 4: 1sc in the next 12 sts, 1hdc in the next 3 sts, ch 1, sl st in same as last hdc, sl st in next, ch 1, 1hdc in same as last sl st, 1hdc in next 2 sts, join. (22 sts)
- Fasten off yarn, leave a tail for sewing. Set aside.
- Make a second petal by repeating Rnds 1-4.
Attach petals by sewing three stitches from the edge of one petal to the corresponding three stitches on the next petal, through the back loops only for a pronounced edge. Create a total of seven connected petals.
Crochet Rose Stem:
- Prepare rolled petals with notched sides facing downwards.
- Join yarn D (green) to the base of the first petal.
- Rnd 1 of stem: [1sc, sc2tog] 2 times across the bottom of the petals (12 sts).
- Roll petals into a cylindrical shape and secure them by sewing.
- Continue with stem rounds, with the option to work in small rounds of 4 sts or replace with rounds of 6 sts if preferred.
- Add leaves by sewing or crochet them onto the stem as follows:
- Rnd 7: 1sc, attach the first leaf with a sc, then sc across the rest, join, ch 1 (4 sts).
- Rnds 8-11: Continue sc around, attaching the second leaf in Rnd 11 similarly to the first.
- Use remaining tail to secure leaves and petals together.
