Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. In this tutorial, I'll be demonstrating how to crochet a rose flower. So, the focus of today's lesson will be on crafting this particular flower. In my previous tutorial, I created a beanie designed specifically for newborns. During that tutorial, I discussed various ways to accessorize and enhance its appearance.
How to Crochet Rose Flower Tutorial
Introduction:
Crocheting is a wonderfully creative and relaxing hobby that allows you to craft beautiful items with just a hook and some yarn. If you're new to crocheting, creating a crochet rose flower can be a delightful and rewarding project to start with. Roses are not only a symbol of love and beauty but also a popular motif in crocheting. In this beginner's guide, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of crocheting your very own rose flower.
Skill Level: Beginner
Materials You'll Need:
Crochet hook (size appropriate for your yarn)
Yarn in your choice of color (worsted or DK weight works well)
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Starting the Crochet Process
By incorporating a flower of your choice, and selecting any colored flower that complements the theme of the video, you can maintain a seamless flow. In this specific tutorial, I'll be using acrylic yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. However, it's important to note that you're not restricted to the 3.5 mm hook; feel free to match your yarn with the recommended hook size. For instance, if you're using a 5 mm or 6 mm crochet hook, ensure your yarn is suitable for that pairing.

Creating V-Stitches in Row 1
In the example here, I've got some 3.5 acrylic yarn, and the flower I'll be demonstrating is a medium-sized crochet rose. Depending on your preference, you can skip around ten stitches. For a skip of one stitch, that works too. Alternatively, if you're left with only four stitches, opt to skip 3 chain stitches instead of the usual two. Adjustments are also possible towards the end. If you spot just two stitches remaining, remove the excess. Similarly, if you're at a point with four stitches left, instead of two chain stitches, you can alter it by leaving three chain stitches.
Continuing V-Stitches in Row 2
Moving on, let's explore the third row. We'll kick off with a chain of three – one, two, three. This chain of three will be counted as a double crochet. Once you've completed the chain three, proceed to turn in your work.
Now, we will start by creating 5 double crochet stitches within the chain through the V gap that we have. We are going to make a total of 5 double crochet stitches. So, I will proceed to create these stitches: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Having completed those steps, I have now worked with the chain and executed five double crochet stitches. Additionally, I've incorporated a chain of three, summing up to a total of six double crochet stitches within this specific stitch.
Transitioning to the subsequent stitch, which is the one following the previous, I will place a single crochet. To recap, there are six double crochet stitches in this location. Moving to the next gap, situated right here, I will insert a single crochet stitch.
Advancing further, we arrive at the next significant point, which is another V stitch. Here, I will meticulously place six double crochet stitches. To elaborate, these stitches will be executed as follows: one, two, three, four, five, and finally, six. Consequently, within this V stitch, there are now a total of six double crochet stitches.
Moving on to the adjacent gap, the subsequent gap, precisely located here, I will introduce a single crochet stitch, thus filling the gap accordingly.

Expanding V-Stitches in Row 3
We are now at a point where three stitches are present. For this stitch, which is notably a Swiss stitch, I am about to incorporate a total of eight double crochet stitches. Let's proceed with these stitches: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and finally, eight. As a result, the V stitch now contains eight double crochet stitches.
Simultaneously, within the next gap, precisely adjacent to the last one, I will insert one single crochet stitch, completing this step.
To summarize the process, these series of steps have brought us to this point, marked by a button.
I'm gonna follow this pattern, and I'll just tell you the pattern once. So, in the first two V'stitches, I put six double crochets each, and in the next stitches, all the remaining ones, I'm gonna put eight double crochets. Now, in the third one, I just put a double crochet in the next stitch, you see? These are my V stitches coming along. For those, I'm gonna put eight double crochets each. Then, in the last two stitches, well, these are kinda like the second-to-last and the actual last stitches, I'm gonna put ten double crochets each.

Completing the Rows and Forming the Flower
When moving from one set to another, there's a little gap, right? So, in those gaps, I'll pop in a single crochet. So, I put in a double crochet, then a single crochet in the next gap, and this is my next gap, and I do it again: double crochet and single crochet. Just gonna keep doing this double-crochet and single-crochet thing. In the last two gaps, where I put ten double crochets, I'll also add one single crochet.
And now, this is the last gap, and here, in this gap, I'm gonna put ten double crochets. So, I'm done with that part, it's all coiled up but that's cool. So, I've finished all the double crochets, and in the last two gaps, I put ten double crochets each. Now, to finish this off, I'm gonna make a chain of one, and here's where I cut a long tail because we'll need that. So, I've cut it and this is how the final thing looks. It's all coiled up, which is totally fine.
Remember, I said I made six double crochets in the first two and ten in the last ones, while all the other stitches got a double crochet each. Now that we've got this, let's start rolling it up. To roll it up, you start where you did the six double crochets. Just roll it up like you would a flower, kinda tight. Keep rolling, and you'll see it naturally takes on that flower shape. Like, it's starting to look really good.

Stitching the Flower Together
Oh, and if you started with like ninety-one chain stitches, you'd have more petals, so the flower would be bigger. But if you went with thirty-one chain stitches, you'd have a smaller flower, like half the size. So, that's why I said the number of chain stitches decides how big your flower turns out.
Once you've rolled it all up, let's do some stitching. But first, I'm gonna flip it and thread this. You can use a darning needle for this, just thread that long chain we pulled out. Alright, so now we gotta stitch. Don't worry about being super neat; you can go kinda random. Stitch through the different layers to hold everything together.
Attempt to pass through all the layers you possess, as well as the shape you have crafted. I'm currently engaging in this process randomly across distinct layers. My aim is to move in a circular manner, connecting the disparate petals present, all while maintaining the established shape. It's possible that you may need to repeat this procedure a few times until you feel at ease with the sewing you've executed. Take a moment to verify whether, by employing this method, your flower has achieved the desired outcome. Inspect closely to ensure that each stitch is appropriately placed. When you're satisfied with the outcome, you can proceed to secure the remaining loose ends by weaving them in. After that, you can trim the excess material. Let me carry out these steps and subsequently present the results. As you can see, I have now completed the process of weaving in the loose ends.
And this is how the flower looks now. It's a pretty, beautiful rose flower. I had made it in another shade of light pink, while this one is in a darker pink. So, you can experiment with lots of colors. Interestingly, I didn't use the red color, as it's very difficult to see the stitches with it. Now, if you prefer, you can even make a smaller-sized one. On the other hand, if you're aiming for an impressively large flower, instead of beginning with sixty chain stitches, you can start with ninety-one chain stitches. This way, you'll have more rounds to work on, resulting in a huge flower. Thus, you have the flexibility to experiment with the number of stitches. This flower can be used in various ways – on clothes, bags, or anything you desire. This completes the tutorial on crocheting a flower.
