This rose is worked flat first, then rolled into shape.

🌿 Flat Crochet Rose Strip

Row 1:

Ch 51(You can adjust the length in multiples of 3 to make a smaller or larger rose.)

Row 2:

Starting in the 2nd chain from hook:

Work (sc, hdc, dc) in one stitch,Skip 2 chains,Repeat across the row.

You’ll notice a gentle wave forming — this creates the base for the petals.

Row 3:

In each dc from the previous row, work:

(sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc)

Repeat in each wave across the strip.

You’ll now see defined petals forming beautifully along the row.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

3. Use the yarn tail to sew through the base and secure the shape.

4. Weave in ends neatly.

Your crochet rose flower is complete!
