Round 2:

• Chain 1 for height.
• Make 2 single crochets (increase) into each stitch around.
• You should have 12 single crochets at the end.
• Slip stitch to close the round.

For Round 3:

• Chain 1 and single crochet into the same space.
• (1 single crochet, increase in the next stitch) repeat around.
• End with 18 stitches and slip stitch to close.

Round 4:

• Chain 1 and make 2 single crochets.
• Follow the sequence (2 single crochets, 1 increase) around the round.
• End with 24 stitches, slip stitch to finish.

Round 5:

• Chain 1, then (3 single crochets, 1 increase) six times.

• You'll have 36 stitches at the end.
• Close with a slip stitch.

Round 7:

• Chain 1, make 10 single crochets, one increase, followed by 4 single crochets, another increase.

• Slip stitch to close.

Round 8:

• Continue as previous rounds increasing the number of single crochets before each increase.
• End with 44 stitches, slip stitch to finish.

Medium and Large Petals:

• Repeat the pattern for the small petal.
• For larger sizes, continue increasing in each following round, maintaining the increases spaced apart by a consistent number of stitches.

Chalice of the rose (Green color):

Round 1:

• Start with a magic ring and 6 single crochets. Close the round with a slip stitch.

Round 2:

• Chain 1, then make an increase in each stitch around (total of 12 stitches).

Subsequent Rounds:

• Continue increasing stitches for desired size, following the established pattern.

Assembly:

• Arrange and layer the petals, securing them with stitches or glue.
• Add the chalice at the base of the petals.
• Consider adding a small stick or firm wire to the base wrapped in green yarn to simulate a stem.

Decoration (Leaves):

• Crochet leaves with wire insertion for stability, wrap these around the rose base or stem as desired.
