Crochet Bare Stem Rose Flower Tutorial

Crocheting a bare stem rose flower can be a lovely project, and it's great for embellishing various items like hats, scarves, or even as standalone decorative pieces. Here's a basic tutorial to guide you through:

Materials Needed:

Worsted weight yarn in your choice of rose color (traditionally red, but you can choose any color you like)

Green yarn for the stem and leaves

Crochet hook (size G/4mm or size appropriate for your yarn)

Scissors

Yarn needle

Wire (optional, for added support in the stem)

Instructions:

Rose Flower:

Begin with the Center:

Start with a magic ring. Chain 1 to secure the ring.

Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.

First Round of Petals:

Chain 3, slip stitch (sl st) into the second chain from the hook, slip stitch into the next sc. Repeat from * to * around until you have 6 petals.

Slip stitch into the first petal to join.

Second Round of Petals:

In each chain-3 space from the previous round, work 1 sc, 1 half double crochet (hdc), 3 double crochet (dc), 1 hdc, and 1 sc.

Slip stitch into the next chain-3 space to begin the next petal. Repeat around until you have 6 petals.

Slip stitch into the first petal to join.

Third Round of Petals:

In each stitch of the previous round, work 1 slip stitch, 1 single crochet, 1 slip stitch. This creates a frilly edge for the petals.

Slip stitch into the first petal to join.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Stem and Leaves:

Stem:

With green yarn, chain the desired length for your stem. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Optionally, you can insert a wire into the center of the chain for added support.

Leaves:

For each leaf, chain 8.

In the second chain from the hook, work 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet, 1 half double crochet, and 1 single crochet.

Slip stitch into the next chain to secure the leaf. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.

Assembly:

Attach Flower to Stem:

Use the yarn tail from the flower to sew it securely onto the top of the stem.

Attach Leaves:

Position the leaves along the stem as desired and use the yarn tails to sew them in place.

Finishing:

Weave in any remaining ends and trim excess yarn.

Optionally, shape the petals and leaves by gently stretching and arranging them.
