Crochet Multi-head Small Rose Pattern (Step by Step)

How to Crochet Small Rose Flower Petals (Make 5)

Round 1: Foundation

Step 1. Create a slip knot on your hook. This will be the foundation of your crochet work.

Step 2. Make 29 chain stitches. Count carefully to ensure you have the correct number, as this will form the base of your rose petals.

This is Round 1 of your crochet small rose petals. The chain you've just created will allow you to form the scalloped edge of the petals in the next round. Take a moment to ensure your chain isn't twisted before moving on to Round 2, where we'll start shaping those lovely petals!

Remember, keeping your tension consistent throughout the chain will help your finished rose look more uniform. If you're new to crochet, don't worry if your chain looks a bit uneven – with practice, your stitches will become more regular. The most important thing is to enjoy the process of bringing these charming roses to life!

Round 2: Creating the Petal Shape

Step 1. Start in the 4th stitch from your hook. This gives your petals a nice, full shape right from the beginning.

Step 2. In this 4th stitch, you'll create the following sequence: 3 double crochet (dc) in the same stitch, 1 single crochet (sc)

Step 3. Skip the next stitch (k1 in the pattern means to skip one stitch).

Step 4. Repeat this sequence along the chain until you reach the end.

Step 5. Turn your work.

Tip: Keep Your Tension Loose. It's especially important in this round. Those 3 double crochets in one stitch create the fullness of each petal, so keeping them loose will give your rose a beautiful, blooming appearance.

As you work, you'll see the scalloped edge of your petals forming. Each repetition of the sequence creates one petal, so you'll end up with multiple petals along your chain. Take your time with this round. It sets the foundation for your rose's shape, so it's worth paying attention to each stitch.

 

Round 3: Enhancing the Petal Structure

Step 1. Start with 2 chain stitches (2ch). This acts as a turning chain and gives your work some height.

Step 2. In the next stitch, work 1 double crochet (dc).

Step 3. In the following stitch, work a double crochet increase (dc inc). This means you'll make 2 double crochets in the same stitch, adding fullness to your petal.

Step 4. In the next stitch, work 1 double crochet (dc).

Step 5. Chain 2 (2ch).

Step 6. Single crochet (sc) in the next stitch.

Step 7. Repeat this sequence (2ch, dc, dc inc, dc, 2ch, sc) along the row.

Step 8. End the round with 1 chain stitch (1ch).

This round adds depth and dimension to your petals. The increases (dc inc) create a slight ruffle effect, giving your rose a more realistic, layered look. The chain spaces (2ch) between sections allow the petals to separate slightly, enhancing the overall flower shape.

Remember to maintain that slightly looser tension we talked about earlier. It's particularly important in this round as it allows your petals to curve naturally, mimicking the shape of real rose petals.

As you work through this round, you'll see your rose really starting to take form. Each repeat of the sequence shapes one petal, building on the foundation you created in the previous rounds.

How to Crochet Small Rose Sepals (Make 5)

Round 1: Creating the Base of the Sepals

Step 1. Start with a Magic Ring:

Begin by creating a magic ring (also known as a magic circle). This technique allows you to start crocheting in a circle with a tight center.

Step 2. Work 5 single crochets into the magic ring:

Make 5 single crochet stitches (sc) directly into the center of your magic ring. As you work these stitches, they will naturally form a small circle.

Step 3. Close the round:

Make 1 slip stitch (ss) into the first single crochet you made. This joins the round.

Step 4. Chain 1 (1 ch):

This chain doesn't count as a stitch but prepares you for the next round.

Step 5. Tighten the magic ring:

Pull the loose end of your yarn to close the center of your circle tightly.

At the end of this round, you should have a small, tight circle with 5 single crochet stitches. This forms the base of your sepals, which will be shaped in the following rounds.

Remember, keeping your stitches relatively tight here will help create a sturdy base for your rose. The magic ring technique ensures there's no hole in the center, giving your rose a polished look from every angle.

Great job! You're making progress on your beautiful crochet rose. Let's move on to the next round when you're ready.

 

Round 2: Expanding the Sepal Base

Step 1. Increase in each stitch:

In each of the 5 stitches from the previous round, you'll work 2 single crochets (2sc). This means you'll be doubling the number of stitches.

Step 2. Repeat around:

Perform this increase (2sc in each st) a total of 5 times. By the end of these repeats, you should have 10 single crochet stitches in total.

Step 3. Close the round:

Make 1 slip stitch (1 ss) into the first single crochet of this round to join.

Step 4. Chain 1 (1 ch):

This chain prepares you for the next round and doesn't count as a stitch.

At the end of this round, you'll have doubled your stitch count from 5 to 10. Your work should now look like a small, flat circle. This wider base will allow you to create the distinctive shape of rose sepals in the next round.

Remember to keep your tension consistent. While we want the petals to be a bit looser, the sepals benefit from a slightly firmer tension to provide structure to your rose.

You're doing great! This expanding circle will soon transform into the leafy base of your rose. Ready for the next round? It's where the sepals really start to take shape!

 

Round 3: Shaping the Sepals

This round will be repeated 5 times to create 5 sepals. For each sepal:

Step 1. Chain 5: Make 5 chain stitches. This creates the length of your sepal.

Step 2. Work back along the chain:

• Slip stitch (ss) in the 2nd stitch from the hook
• Slip stitch (ss) in the next stitch
• Single crochet (sc) in the next stitch
• Half double crochet (hdc) in the last chain stitch

Step 3. Connect to the base:

• Skip 1 stitch (k1) on the base of Round 2
• Slip stitch (ss) into the next stitch of Round 2

Step 4. Repeat: Repeat steps 1-3 a total of 5 times to create 5 sepals

Step 5. Finish: After completing the 5th sepal, make 1 chain stitch (1ch)

As you work this round, you'll see each repetition forming a small, leaf-like shape - these are your sepals. The combination of different stitches along the chain creates the pointed shape typical of rose sepals.

Remember to maintain an even tension throughout. This helps ensure all your sepals are the same size and shape.

Take your time with this round, as it's a bit more complex than the previous ones. Each sepal should stand out clearly from the base.

Great job! You've now completed the sepals for your rose. These will form a beautiful, realistic base for your flower. Are you ready to move on to crochet the leaf for small rose?

Tip: After completing the last stitch of the final sepal, don't fasten off just yet. Instead, use your hook to draw the yarn tail through the first stitch of Round 2. This creates a seamless join. Now, tie this end together with the tail from your initial magic ring. Trim the excess yarn, leaving short tails that you can weave in for a polished look. This method ensures your sepals are securely fastened and gives your rose a professional finish.

 

How to Crochet Small Rose Leaf (Make 5)

Step 1. Chain 10 (10ch): Start by making a chain of 10 stitches. This will form the spine of your leaf.

Step 2. Add wire: Before you start crocheting into the chain, carefully insert a piece of thin, flexible wire along the length of your chain. This will allow you to shape your leaf later.

Step 3. Work into the chain:

• Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd stitch from the hook
• Half double crochet (hdc) in the next stitch
• Half double crochet (hdc) in the last chain stitch

Step 4. Create the leaf tip: Work 3 single crochet (3 sc) in the same stitch. This creates the rounded tip of the leaf.

Step 5. Work back along the other side:

• Half double crochet (hdc) in the next stitch
• 5 double crochet (5dc) in the next 5 stitches
• Half double crochet (hdc) in the next stitch
• Single crochet (sc) in the next stitch
• Slip stitch (ss) in the last stitch

Step 6. Finish: Chain 1 (ch) to secure your work

This pattern creates a symmetrical leaf shape with a pointed base and a rounded tip. The wire inside allows you to bend and shape the leaf as desired, making it look more natural when attached to your rose stem.

 

How to Assemble Multi-head Small Rose

How to Assemble Small Rose Flower Petal

Prepare your materials:

• For 4 roses, use 0.5mm wire
• For 1 rose, use a flower rod

Step 1. Insert the wire:

Take the 0.5mm wire (or flower rod for one rose) and insert it into the center of the starting end of the crocheted petal strip. This will be the core of your rose.

Step 2. Secure the wire:

Use pliers to pinch the wire tightly, securing it to the base of the petal's starting point.

Step 3. Begin rolling:

Apply a small amount of hot glue to the bottom edge of the petal strip.

Tip: When using the hot glue gun, apply just a tiny dot of glue to the first round of stitches on the outer edge of the petal. This prevents the glue from spreading and potentially sticking to your fingers as you work.

Step 4. Roll the petal:

Starting from the left side where the wire is inserted, align the bottom edge and begin rolling the petal around the wire. As you roll, gradually loosen your tension to create a more natural, opening bloom effect.

Step 5. Continue rolling:

Keep rolling until you reach the end of the petal strip. Secure the end with a small amount of hot glue.

Step 6. Shape the rose:

Gently adjust the outer layers of your rolled petal to give your rose a realistic, slightly unfurling appearance.

Final result: Your rose should now have a beautiful, blooming shape with the wire securely at its center.

 

How to Assemble Small Rose Flower Leaf

Step 1. Take the long tail of yarn left from crocheting the leaf. Pull it tight to secure the leaf, then wrap this yarn around the wire stem, covering it completely.

Step 2. Continue wrapping until you've covered the entire wire for the first leaf. Secure the end of the yarn with a small knot or dab of glue.

Step 3. Prepare two additional crocheted leaves. Combine these with the first leaf, wrapping their yarn tails around the stem to secure them together.

Step 4. Adjust the three leaves to create a balanced, natural-looking arrangement. The final result should show three leaves combined, creating a fuller, more lifelike foliage for your crochet rose.

Tip: You can adjust the number of leaves according to your preference. Feel free to add more or use fewer leaves to achieve your desired look.

Final Assembly

Step 1. Insert the wire into the other end of the flower sepal. Secure it with a dab of hot glue.

Step 2. Take yarn that matches the color of the flower sepal. Pull it tight and start wrapping it around the stem.

Step 3. Continue wrapping until the entire stem is covered. Repeat this process for 4 of the flowers.

Step 4. Add leaves and flowers to the stem, arranging them from top to bottom. You can add flowers and leaves as you wrap, adjusting their positions according to your preference.

Tip: For a more polished look, you can glue the first sepal leaf to cover the end of the flower petals. When wrapping the stem, make a few extra turns where the flower base meets the stem for a more natural transition. Ensure you wrap tightly throughout the assembly process for a neat finish.
