Pattern Instructions
Rose Base
First Layer
- Start:
- With chosen center color, make a magic ring (alternatively, ch 4 and join with sl st to form ring).
- Ch 1 (serves as the height/start for stitches).
- Round 1:
- Work 5 sc into ring.
- Mark the first stitch.
- Close Round:
- Pull the tail tight.
- Sl st to the first sc.
- Round 2 (Increase):
- In each sc, work 2 sc (10 sc total for this round).
- Mark first stitch; rep at each st.
- Close Round:
- Sl st to first sc.
- Round 3 (Increase):
- [1 sc in first st, 2 sc in next st] x 5 (15 sc total).
- Mark first stitch.
- Close Round:
- Sl st to first sc. Fasten off and change color if desired.
Rose Petals (First Layer)
Each petal uses special loop method; you will make 5 petals total.
For each of the 15 sc of base:
- Join Petal Color:
- With petal color, join yarn with slip knot in any sc.
- Petal Foundation:
- Ch 6.
- Loop Construction:
- Turn ch so you work into the back bumps.
- Insert the hook into each back bump (6 bumps total), yo, pull up a loop, keeping all loops on hook.
- After 6 loops are on hook, return to the same base sc and pull up one more loop-now 7 loops total.
- Loop Gathering:
- Gather loops: yo, pull through 2 loops repeatedly until all loops are worked off hook.
- Ch 1 (to secure).
- Petal Increase (Second Row of Petal):
- Return to the ch 6 (work into the back bumps again).
- Starting at the back bump of the ch 1 just made, pull up a loop in each back bump, totaling 9 loops (including one from the base).
- Gather loops as before: yo, pull through 2 loops until only one loop remains.
- Repeat Petal Rows:
- Continue working petal rows in same manner (second row is an increase, third and subsequent rows repeat number of loops).
- Work 6 total rows per petal (increase row is second row, both the first and sixth rows are decrease rows).
- Petal Shaping:
- On final row, skip first loop for decrease, gather remaining loops as established.
- Slip Stitch to Next Base Stitch:
- After completing petal, sl st to next sc of base.
- Begin next petal.
Repeat from step 2 for each of the next base stitches until 5 petals are made.
Second Rose Layer
- Repeat the entire base and petal instructions above to make a second identical rose layer.
Assembly & Stuffing
- Prepare Layers:
- Place both rose pieces together, petals aligned.
- Using long yarn tail and tapestry needle, begin sewing the layers together:
- For each petal, sew through 2 loops of first petal and 2 loops of corresponding petal on opposite layer.
- Work around all petals, leaving a 1-2 petal gap.
- Stuff Rose:
- Insert fiberfill stuffing through gap between layers, pushing it into petals as needed.
- Do not overstuff; keep rose soft and plump.
- Complete Closure:
- Finish sewing last gap closed, adjusting petal alignment as you work.
- Weave in Ends:
- Secure yarn, weave end through fiber and out the side or back (not through stitches).
- Cut and hide tail into the rose interior.
Finishing
- Shape petals gently.
- If desired, add a hanging loop or pin backing for medallion or pincushion.
- Adjust form for consistent petal size and overall symmetry.
- Secure and tidy any loose threads inside the rose.
Tips & Pattern Corrections
- Tip: Thread tension is essential for crisp petals and closed stuffing holes.
- Correction: Make sure to count loops correctly for each petal row-uneven loop counts can distort petal shape.
- Use a smaller hook for chain/loop rows if working with a thick yarn to ensure easy pulling through loops.
- For color changes, fasten off securely and hide yarn ends in stuffing interior.
