ROLLED ROSE PATTERN



CROCHET ROSES
November 10th 2009

dk, 4mm hook
US Terms



Leave a long end to sew rose together.
chain 57.
Row 1: make wide 'v' st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in 6th ch from hook, 
* miss next 2ch, (dc, ch2, dc) in next ch, repeat from * creating 18 sps, to add petals too, ch2, turn

Row 2: 5dc, in first 'v' st, [ch2 sp], sc, in next sp between, 6dc in next 'v' st, [ch2 sp], sc in next sp between, repeat 5 more times, [7 small petals]
9dc in next 'v' st, [ch2 sp], sc in next sp, between, repeat 4 more times, [5 medium petals], 
12dc in next 6 'v' st, [ch2 sp], sc in last sp, [6 large petals]

Starting with the small petals, roll and sew together.

NOTE: Don't sew too tightly, and try to stagger the petals works best, 
but rolling all the petals and then sewing worked
OR
I found that rolling the small petals first, then sewing, then the medium petals and sewing, then finish rolling and sewing the large petals 
It does take a little practise.


 Add a pin or sew directly onto your project.

 Shaded yarn works well with this pattern too...



A great way to finish off your knitting or crochet pieces.
