free pattern: basic rose
This basic rose pattern is a perfect introduction to crocheted flowers, and it’s so versatile – make it in any size and colour you like!
Here are some ideas for use:
- Use the optional stem pattern below to create a whole vase of roses
- Stitch a pin to the back of a rose to make a pretty brooch
- Accessorize a bag by sewing on a couple of roses
- Sew or glue a small rose to a hair clip or plastic hairband
UPDATE: I forgot to mention these would also make a perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Thank you June, for your tutorial on Reverse Single Crochet!
You made this stitch so simple to understand.
I am putting it on edges of beanies caps shawls baby blankets
Washcloths, etc. it makes a fine neat edging.

I can’t thank you enough for this, June, you just solved one of my current problems.
I’m making all of the flowers for my upcoming wedding as I don’t like cut flowers… I tried and failed many different flower “recipes” but nothing suited being made into a boutonniere for my Groom and the Best Man.
You have honestly come to my rescue!
