The Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Create the Base Rectangle
- Using ecru colored cotton yarn and a 2.5 mm crochet hook:
- Start with 20 ch.
- Place into the 19th ch, and work hdc across the chain.
Row 1: 19 hdc.
- Turn your work:
- Row 2: Ch 1. Work hdc into the back loop only across all 19 sts.
- Continue working hdc into the back loop only until you have 8 rows of stitches.
- Sl st to join.
- Once completed, work a single crochet border around the entire rectangle:
- In corners, make 3 sc into one stitch to turn smoothly.
- Finish the base rectangle and cut the yarn. Secure and weave ends.
Step 2: Crochet the Rose Petals
- Using rose-colored cotton yarn:
- Start by making 25 ch.
- Into the 5th ch: Work V-stitch (dc, ch 2, dc).
- Skip 2 ch, then repeat the V-stitch in the next chain. Continue creating V-stitches across until you have 11 V-stitches total.
- To shape the petals:
- Turn and work 5 dc into the chain spaces created by each V-stitch.
- After each petal, secure with sc into the next ch space.
- Continue making petals, ensuring that you work 5 dc per V-stitch.
- You should have 11 petals by the end of the row.
- At the last petal:
- Secure and leave a long tail for sewing.
- Use a yarn needle to sew the scarf into a rose shape. Adjust and tighten the petals as necessary. Knot well and trim excess.
Step 3: Create the Leaves
- Using green cotton yarn:
- Work a magic circle.
- Make 10 hdc into the circle and pull tight.
- Work 5 ch and sl st into the 4th ch.
- Work the following: 3 sc back into the chain.
- At the final ch space, work hdc into the circle.
- Repeat the ch stitches and sl st sequences at equal intervals to create 5 leaves.
- Secure and weave ends.
- Optionally, crochet small leaves:
- Make 8 ch, then work in the following order: sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc.
- Repeat to make 2 large leaf attachments.
Step 4: Wrap the Stem
- Using a toothpick and green yarn:
- Add a drop of silicone glue to one end of the toothpick.
- Start wrapping the green yarn to completely cover the toothpick, securing it with more silicone glue as needed.
Assembly & Finishing
- Attach the green leaves by placing the five-leaf piece onto the base rectangle. Use silicone glue and gently press down the edges until secure.
- Position and attach the rose:
- Place the rose in the center of the leaves. Use silicone glue or sew it for added durability.
- Wrap the 75 ch strip created earlier around the bouquet's "waist" to create a tied effect.
- Attach small leaves at the bouquet sides with silicone glue for added detail.
- Secure the stem by attaching it beneath the rose base on the reverse side of the rectangle.
