How to make a crochet rose *By Guest blogger Tigress*

GUEST POST BY....Tigress.

 

Hi everyone

I'm Miss Maza's friend

And today I'm doing a guest post for her

Sometime ago I was searching the net for a large rose pattern and couldn't find one

So I made up my own

I use US terminology and UK crochet hook and wool size

Abbreviations

Chain/ch

Single crochet/sc

Double crochet/dc

Stitch/st

You'll need:

Double knitting wool

4 mm or 5mm crochet hook

Scissors

Embroidery needle

Instructions:

Roll off a good sized ball of wool

Double your yarn

Make a crochet knot

Ch 85

Ch 1,sc in each ch

Make a sc in the first st,miss 2 st,5 dc in the next,miss 2 st,sc in next st,miss 2 st,5 dc in next,etc...

until you get to the end

Roll up to see if you like how it looks

It should look more like a rose when you have sewn together

Fasten off

Sew in the ends

Cut a long length of wool and thread it into the needle

Roll up your rose so the bottom is flat

Sew through all layers,from side to side

Pull the thread tight so the outer layers curl in on the bottom of the rose

When the rose is firmly sewn up,fasten off

Voila!!!!!

You should have a rose.

I used mostly 'Patons FAB!'for my roses 

For an even larger rose ch 90 or 100

The multi-colored  ones are 85 ch,the pink one is 90 ch and the red one is 100 ch

If it doesn't work for you or you don't understand something please comment and my friend will tell me
