Materials Needed to Crochet a Rose

• Yarn weight: DK yarn (any color you like). These use small bits of yarn, so several from 25grams.

NOTE: Yarn Tips:
For crochet roses, I like to use a DK yarn and find it works best to create delicate, defined petals.

Cotton yarn is ideal for a crisp look that holds shape well, while acrylic offers more flexibility and softness.

Avoid bulky yarns—they can make the rose look heavy and lose detail. Using leftover yarn scraps is perfect for small projects like these, so no need to buy new skeins if you don’t want to.

• Crochet hook: 3.5 mm (E/4) or size recommended for your yarn
• Scissors
• Yarn needle (for weaving in ends and shaping the rose)
• Stitch markers (optional, but helpful)

Abbreviations Used

• sc = single crochet stitches
• sk = skip
• dc = double crochet stitches
• trc = treble crochet stitches
• (dc, ch 2, dc) = V stitch (all worked into the specified stitch)
• ch-space = Chain space (space previously made with a ch2)
