Instructions
Part 1: Mini Rose
Row 1: Foundation
- Begin with a slip knot.
- Ch4 (forms a small loop).
- Working into the first chain (4th ch from hook), make 1 dc.
- Repeat: [ch4, 1 dc into first ch of this ch4] a total of 12 times (so you have 13 loops in total).
- Each [ch4, 1dc] creates a petal base.
Row 2: Petal Bases
- Ch3, turn.
- In the first ch3 space, work (1dc, ch2, 2dc).
- In each of the next 12 ch3 spaces, make (2dc, ch2, 2dc) in each space.
Row 3: Forming Petals
- Ch1, turn.
- In the first ch2 space, make 8 dc.
- Sl st into the joint/base between spaces.
- Repeat: [8 dc in ch2 sp, sl st to base] for the next 11 spaces (total 12 petals).
- In the last ch2 space, make 13 dc (for a larger central petal).
Rose Assembly
- End with ch1, cut the yarn, and leave a long tail for sewing.
- Curl the rose row into a spiral, shaping the petals naturally into a rose form.
- Sew through the base with the yarn tail and tapestry needle to fix the rose shape securely.
- Weave in and hide the loose end.
Part 2: Calyx (Green Part)
- With green yarn, make a magic ring.
- Ch2 (counts as first hdc).
- Make 15 hdc into the ring.
- Pull tight to close the ring.
- Sl st to the first st to join.
- Ch6 (for first calyx point), sl st back into the first ch from hook.
- Into the next 5 ch stitches create:
- 1 sc
- 1 hdc
- 1 dc
- 1 tr (treble)
- Place hair tie around calyx base now (before too tight to insert).
- Skip 2 sts on the base ring, sl st to next st (secures the calyx point).
- Repeat [ch6, sl st in 1st ch, 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1tr, skip 2, sl st] 4 more times (5 points total).
- When making last sl st, insert into first st to make the round complete.
- Cut yarn, leave a long tail for sewing.
Part 3: Leaf
- Ch10 with green yarn.
- Work into 2nd ch from hook: sl st.
- In next chs: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc in next 3 chs (total 3 dcs), 1 hdc, 1 sc.
- In last ch: (sl st, ch1, sl st).
- Turn, work along the other side of the starting chain:
- 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc in next 3 ch, 1 hdc, 1 sc, sl st.
- Repeat the above (you may add up to 6 leaves for a fuller foliage effect).
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Part 4: Assembly
Attaching the Leaf
- Use the tail to stitch leaf to calyx (position as desired).
- Secure and weave in ends.
Fixing Rose & Calyx Together
- Place the rose securely atop the calyx (with hair tie sandwiched in between).
- Use yarn tail to sew the rose base to calyx. Make sure it is tightly attached for durability.
- Hide and trim any remaining yarn tails inside the flower.
Finishing Touches
- Ensure all ends are sewn in and invisible.
- Shape petals and calyx points neatly.
- Ensure hair tie is firmly incorporated into the back.
Tips and Tricks
- For a slightly larger rose, increase each ch4 group to [ch5, dc] for row 1.
- Vary petal fullness by working more or fewer dc in petal rows.
- For softer petals, use sports weight yarn and slightly larger hook.
- Work with tighter tension for a firmer rose.
Customization Ideas
- Add beads or sequins to the petal edges for sparkle.
- Make multi-color roses by using gradient or variegated yarns.
- Use embroidery thread for miniature roses and earrings.
- Attach two leaves instead of one for a fuller look.
Special Techniques
- Magic Ring: Make a loop with yarn, insert hook, yarn over and pull up a loop, chain 1 to secure. Work required stitches into loop, then pull short tail to close.

Important:
