Crochet Rose & Flower Brooch Tutorial

Materials Needed:

• Yarn of your choice
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn you are using
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Crochet Rose Pattern:

Row 1:

• Tie a slip knot and chain 81.
• Chain 1 (turning chain), skip the first chain from the hook, then do a single crochet in the next chain.
• Single crochet in each chain across.

Row 2:

• Turn the piece over. (If you didn't work into the back bumps initially, now switch so that the top of the stitches are at the bottom for a thicker and nicer look.)
• Chain 1 and slip stitch into the first stitch.
• Start by chaining 3 (counts as a double crochet).
• Double crochet in the next stitch.
• Increase by putting two double crochets in the next stitch.
• Follow this pattern across: one double crochet in each of the next two stitches, then two double crochets in the next stitch, repeatedly.
• By the end, your piece should curve like a semicircle.

For Row 3:

• Turn the piece over to create the rose petals using the shell motif pattern.
• Chain 1, skip one stitch and put 4 half double crochets into the next stitch to create half of a petal.
• Repeat the 4 half double crochets in the following stitch (completing the petal).
• Skip one stitch and secure with a single crochet in the next stitch (one petal completed).
• Skip one stitch, then make 4 half double crochets in the next stitch for the first half of the next petal, followed by 4 half double crochets in the subsequent stitch for the second half, skip one stitch and secure with a single crochet.
• After making two half double crochet petals, increase the height of petals by using double crochet instead of half double crochet for the next petals.
• Skip one stitch, then make 4 double crochets in the next stitch, and so on, as you have been doing with the half double crochets. Secure each petal with a single crochet after skipping a stitch.
• Continue with 8 double crochet petals.

Row 4:

• After the midpoint, start increasing the size of the petals for the outer part of the rose.
• Skip one stitch, then make 3 double crochets, followed by 3 extended double crochets, and another 3 double crochets in the next stitch.
• To make an extended double crochet: yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, pull up a loop (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through one loop (the extended loop), then complete as you would a regular double crochet.
• Skip one stitch and secure the extended petal with a single crochet.
• Repeat this sequence around.

Finishing:

• After completing the last petal, slip stitch along the edges to the bottom of the flower.
• Fasten off, leaving about 20 inches of yarn for sewing.
• Wrap the front end and roll the strip inwards to form the rose. It should be tight and closed together.
• Stitch the bottom together, securing with pins as necessary.
• Secure the end to the second layer and weave in the ends to tighten the construction.
• Do additional runs with the needle around the bottom to ensure its stability.
• Finish off and weave in any remaining ends.
