Crocheted flowers are one of the favorite themes of needlewomen, because with the help of such a decorative element you can transform many things, from clothes to interior items. The crocheted rose is the queen of flowers not only in nature, but also in crocheted needlework. There are simply an incredible number of variations in crocheting roses; perhaps this majestic flower has won the heart of more than one noble craftswoman!
A knitted rose is a flower that will always smell fragrant and never fade, which is why it is good as decoration for hats, scarves, blouses and even bags. Moreover, they use crocheted roses on their own - as exquisite women's brooches, bright children's hair clips, what can we say - they create luxurious necklaces and bracelets from roses.
Knitting roses is accessible even to beginners who have just learned to crochet. In order to start making a decorative rose, you can use any available yarn (iris, cotton, acrylic, linen, wool, bamboo), as well as a hook suitable in size to the thickness of the thread. Depending on the choice of yarn colors, roses can be made bright, or, conversely, pastel, or even experiment with combining colors.
As for the methods of crocheting roses, there are only two of them:
- knitting a long lace strip, which is later twisted into a rose;
- knitting individual elements of a rose (center, petals, cups, buds), assembled into a flower using a needle.
The choice of knitting always remains with the craftswoman. Try crocheting your first flower, and we guarantee you will be surprised what elegant and very realistic roses you can crochet with your own hands.
We have prepared two step-by-step lessons on crocheting roses in both techniques (with the whole fabric and by elements).
A simple master class on knitting a rose in one openwork strip
Despite the fact that knitting a whole flower is considered easier compared to making roses piece by piece, the end result pleases the needlewomen no less - the rose turns out so lush, you can’t take your eyes off it!
To make such a rose you need:
- viscose yarn of two contrasting colors of medium thickness (we have deep purple and soft lilac);
- hook No. 2;
- thread and needle, scissors.
Knitting pattern:
Explanation of abbreviations found in the text:
- VP – air loop;
- runway – lift runway;
- RLS or art. b/n – single crochet;
- CCH or art. s/n – double crochet;
- С2Н – st. with 2 yarn overs;
- PS – half-column;
- PR – previous row;
- SS – connection column.
Description of work:
We collect the base chain for 48 VP.
Row No. 1: count 5 VPs from the hook, insert a hook into the sixth, knitting 1 Dc.
We knit another VP.
On the base chain we skip 2 VPs, in the third we knit: 1 SSN + 2 VP + 1 SSN. 
We continue to knit with rapports until the end of the row: 1 VP + skipping two VPs of the base chain + in the third VP: 1 Dc + 2 VP + 1 Dc.
Row No. 2: raise 3 runways as the end of the first row.
We turn the knitting over, knit 1 DC into an arch of 2 VP PR. 
Then we knit 2 VP + 2 DC in the same arch.
We continue to knit a row with repeating combinations: 1 VP, next. arch of 2 VP PR we knit 2 Dc + 2 Ch + 2 Dc. Repeat until the end of the row.
On the last two loops of the second row, it is necessary to attach a lilac thread.
Row No. 3: raise 3 runways. 
Knitting revolution - we knit 3 DC into an arch of 2 VP PR. 
Then we knit 1 SS into the arch from the 1st VP PR.
Next we already knit the arch 8 DC + 1 SS into the arch from the 1st VP PR. Repeat the rapport 3 more times, in total you should get 4 fans of 8 tbsp. s/n. 
In the next arch we knit 10 DC + 1 SS into the arch from the 1st VP PR. We repeat 5 such rapports, a total of 6 fans for 10 columns of s/n. SS. We cut the thread. The openwork strip for the rose is ready.
We roll it in a spiral.
From the inside out we sew a needle through all the layers of the flower to securely fix its shape.
The rose is ready!
Keep in mind that the side of the strip (front or back) matters in the direction of the spiral folding - depending on the chosen side, the rose petals can be either concave inside the flower or, conversely, convex, more open. 
The final stage is decorating the rose. You can tie a green leaf to it, you can decorate it with glass beads or rhinestones, here everything depends only on your imagination. A ready-made rose of this type can be used to decorate any items from a wardrobe (especially children’s!), as well as to decorate interior items in an original way (vases, paintings, photo frames, etc.).
Knitting a voluminous rose from individual elements: a step-by-step lesson for advanced knitters
These crocheted voluminous roses are truly stunning - they can really be easily mistaken for real flowers! True, you need to spend a lot of time making them, but all your efforts will pay off with interest - such hand-made products are highly valued!
Let's take a closer look:
A voluminous rose is knitted from individual elements: a center, three inner and outer petals, a calyx and three to six green leaves. So, let's start knitting the components of the flower.
Center of a rose
Schematic drawing
Knitting:
We collect a chain of 10 VPs, close them into a ring using SS.
Row No. 1: 2 VP + 15 DC in the middle of the circle from the base, 1 SS.
Row No. 2: 2 VP + 2 DC in each PR loop, 1 SS.
Rows No. 3-4: 2 VP + 1st DC in each PR loop, 1 SS.
Row No. 5: 2 VP + 1st DC in every 2nd PR loop, 1 SS.
Row No. 6: 1 VP + 1 RLS in each PR loop, 1 SS.
Row No. 7: 1 VP + 1 RLS in each PR loop, 1 SS.
Row No. 8: 1 VP + 1 RLS, then we knit with rapports: 4 RLS in one loop + 1 RLS, ending with a SS.
In addition to the center, we knit a bud; it is necessary so that the center of the rose does not show through and the filler is not visible through it.
We collect a chain of 21 VPs
Row No. 1: we skip two VP chains, with the 3rd we knit 19 RLS.
Row No. 2: 2 VP + 1 dc + 2 dc + 1 dc + 1 dc + 1 dc + 3 dc + 1 dc + 1 dc + 1 dc + 6 dc + 1 dc + 1 dc. Inner rose petal (3 pcs. )
Scheme:
We collect a chain of 9 VPs. We knit in turning rows.
Row No. 1: count two VP chains, starting from the 3rd we knit 7 sc to the end of the row.
Row No. 2: in the 1st loop of the row we knit 2 VP + 1 Dc, in each subsequent loop – 2 Dc until the end of the row.
Row No. 3: 2 VP, then – 7 rapports: 2 Dc in one loop + 1 Dc in the next loop, the last loop – 2 Dc.
Row No. 4: 2 VP, 1 dc in each loop to the end of the row.
Row No. 5: 2 VP + 3 Dc, 4 repeats: skipping one loop + knitting 4 Dcs.
Row No. 6: 2 VP + 3 Dc, 4 repeats: skipping one loop + knitting 3 Dcs.
Row No. 7: 2 VP + 1st DC in each PR loop.
Row No. 8: 1 VP, 6 repeats: 2 Dc in one loop, then 2 RLS, 6 repeats: 2 Dc in one loop. SS. We cut the thread.
Outer petal (3 pcs.)
Scheme:
Knit the initial chain and the first 7 rows in the same way as knitting the inner petal.
Row No. 8: turn the work, raise 1 VP, 2 Dc in one loop, knit rapport three times (2 C2H in one loop), then knit 2 Dc in one loop, 2 double crochets in one loop, 2 RLS, 2 PS with a double crochet in one loop, 2 dc in one loop, then knit rapport three times again (2 dc in one loop), finishing with 2 dc in one loop and sl st.
Calyx (green yarn)
Scheme:
We knit a chain of 7 VPs, close it in a circle with the help of a SS, knit in a circle.
Row No. 1: 1 VP + 9 PS with double crochet in the middle of the circle. SS.
Row No. 2: 1 VP, 4 repeats (2 PS s/n in one loop + 1 PS s/n), 2 PS s/n in one loop. SS.
Row No. 3: 5 repeats (8 VP, starting from the 3rd loop from the hook we knit: 3 RLS + 3 PS s/n + 3 SS).
Leaf (6 pieces).
Scheme:
We collect a chain of 14 VPs.
Row No. 1: in the 3rd loop – 1 RLS, then we knit 2 PS s/n, 6 SSN, 1 PS s/n, 2 RLS.
Row No. 2: turn the knitting, knit 1 VP + 1 sc + 2 dc in the 1st loop + 2 dc in one loop + 1 dc + 2 dc in the 1st loop + 2 dc + 2 dc in the 1st loop + 1 sc + 2 dc + 1 sc in the penultimate stitch.
Row No. 3: knit in the round: 2 dc + 1 sc + 2 dc in 1st loop + 2 dc + 2 dc in 1st loop + 1 dc + 2 dc in 1st loop + 2 dc in 1st loop loop + 1 sc + 1 ss.
Row No. 4: turn the work, knit 1 VP + 1 RLS + 2 PS s/n in 1st loop + 2 Dcs in 1st loop + 2 Dcs in 1st loop + 2 Dcs + 2 Dcs in 1st loop loop + 1 PS s/n + 2 PS s/n in 1 loop + 6 RLS + 1 VP + 1 PS s/n.
Row No. 5 we knit circularly: 1 VP + 6 RLS + 2 PS s/n in the 1st loop + 2 Dcs + 2 Dcs in the 1st loop + 2 PS s/n in the 1st loop + 2 PS s/n in the 1st loop Well, a loop + 1 sc + 2 ss.
Tie the leaves in a circle in a “crawfish step”, stretch a thin wire along the edge so that the leaf holds its shape. We collect three leaves per branch.
Assembly
Once all the elements of the rose are ready, we begin assembling the flower. As a trunk, you can use a cable or thick wire covered with masking tape. We fill the knitted center of the rose with filler, attach the inner petals to it overlapping, followed by the outer ones. We put the middle on the trunk, attach a bud inside it, then the middle, sew a cup under it. We wrap the trunk with green thread, tying the leaves in parallel at the desired height and distance. The rose is ready! You can make a rich bouquet from these roses and decorate your favorite vase with them. They are also good as an original gift for mom or a close friend.
Video tutorials on crocheting roses
Roses are very popular in crocheted needlework, therefore, for greater clarity, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with detailed video tutorials on crocheting them. Get inspired and improvise!
Recently, crocheted flowers have become at the peak of popularity. Knitted necklaces with flowers, brooches and hairpins began to come into fashion. Sometimes knitted flowers are simply works of art.
The queen of flowers is always a rose, and it is roses that are most often crocheted. I’m showing one of the simplest patterns for crocheting a rose, but this does not mean at all that the rose will turn out ugly.
Full rose crochet pattern:
We crochet the chain, calculating the length depending on the size of the rose we want to crochet. For a lush rose you need at least 15 petals; for a bud, 7 is enough.
There are only 3 rows in the pattern, the rose is knitted very quickly. In the last row, we increase the number of columns as we approach the last petal from 5-7 to 10-12. As a result, we get this spiral:
Next, the rose can be further decorated. It looks very good to tie the edge with a darker or lighter thread. It is advisable to take a thinner thread and hook. We perform the binding using single crochets, or alternating a single crochet and an air loop.
It is a good idea to lightly steam the resulting workpiece with an iron. Then along the edge we collect our rose on a thread and pull it together.
If you want to get a more closed rose, then collect the flower with the front side inward. If we want to get a more blooming flower, then we do the opposite. Accordingly, we tie the edge along the desired side.
In relation to fresh flowers, it is believed that rose buds are more suitable for young girls and girls, and fully bloomed flowers are more suitable for older women.
You can embellish your rose a little more by tying the middle of the flower in a different color.
Four years ago, my acquaintance with Irish lace began with this rose. Perhaps there is already a knitting master class on the Internet, or maybe a pattern for this flower. But then I was knitting already knitted, and I didn’t have a pattern. Today I am posting a step-by-step photo of this rose, as I knitted it.
This simple, at first glance, motif is suitable for knitting using the Irish lace technique, not only for a blouse model, but also for a tunic, and possibly a dress.
1. Cast on 6 air loops
2. One lifting loop, a row of single crochets
3. We don’t turn the work over, but continue to knit in the round
4. 3 lifting loops. 1 tbsp with 1n, vp and so on in a circle.
To prevent knitting in the circle from tightening (shown in the figure), we knit on the curves
two sts with 1n from 1 v.p.
5. In a circle we knit 2 rows of st.b.n. This is the middle of the rose.
6. Visually divide our oval in half and knit 12 trebles with 1n, after 1 chain stitch, alternating - 1 chain stitch, chain stitch
7. Turn the knitting over and knit 1 row of st.b.n.
8. Starting to knit the 2nd row, make 1 lifting loop, skip 1 loop and knit further st. b.n.,
9. We do not knit 5 loops to the end. We return in the next row of st.b.n.
We knit the next row as the previous one, with decreases. And so we knit 8 rows.
This is what we got. Not very nice, the corners are visible. Now we need to smooth them out.
10. We knit a row of st.b.n. to the very end, that is, we go down to the first row. The first petal is ready.
12. We knit a row of st.b.n.
13. We do not knit the next row to the end of 3 loops
14. We go back - we also do not knit 3 loops to the end of the 2nd row.
15. And thus, in shortened rows, we knit 7 rows of st.b.n.
Then, as with the first petal, we smooth the edges by knitting the 7th row, going down to the lattice.
We knit the 8th row, going down to the lattice on the other edge.
16. But here you need to knit a little lower, going down to the middle of the flower.
17. The next row we knit a lattice from st.s.s. 1n, w.c. through 1 w.c. from the center of the flower to the middle
on the other side.
20. All petals are knitted without tearing off the thread. This is what should happen.
21. Now let's add some emphasis to the edges. We tie the edges of the rose with a crawfish step.
22. This is the wrong side.
23. And this is what a rose will look like if you tie a crawfish step around the middle of it. But that's another story.
The second MK of a flat rose.
Here are several options for flat roses
The third MK of a flat rose (openwork) from here
I made a small MK. I cast on 95 loops. The number of loops depends on the size of the rose.
Then we count 12-13 loops and close them in a circle.
Then we make 25-26 double crochets in a circle, and continue to make stitches around the circle, grabbing the chain, about 17 more stitches.
We count 6 stitches from the bottom of the turn, in the 7th we make a single crochet, thus connecting the petals.
We make the next petals in the same way, gradually twisting them around the middle.
Depending on the thickness of the thread, you can change the number of loops and stitches. You can make the petals longer. I got these roses.
The fourth MK of a flat rose using a different technique
Fifth MK of flat openwork rose. Description and author of the idea: Olga Masagutova and Miroslava Gorohovich
I cast on a chain of 20 loops, then one half-double crochet, and then 2 double crochets in each loop, resulting in a curl like this.
I tied it around in a crawfish step, joining it in one place to make a figure like a nine.
Then she turned it inside out and, stretching the loops, reached the desired place where the petal would begin and knitted a chain of so many loops so that it was enough for half of this figure in a circle, knitted 2-3 chain loops, attached, turned and began knitting stitches on the chain with two yarn overs until you have filled the entire space to the beginning of the chain.
Joined the first figure. Then I tied this row with a thread of a different color in a crawfish step, and broke the thread there.
She returned to the beginning, moved forward to the desired place and started the chain again. Then there are columns on it again, dividing them according to the number of yarn overs into two petals, as it were: I have a third - one petal, then another... Turn again.
Now a chain to the place where the petals separate, then a second one to the desired place. Columns with two, and in some places with three crochets, as you like, so that the edge of the petal is wavy. Each row was tied with a different thread. The main thread does not break because you always return to the place where you left, and each time you cut off a different color. The petals move apart when moving, I imperceptibly sewed them from the inside out to each other so that they would not separate. Due to the crustacean step, this is not visible... The petals can be made in different ways, as your imagination dictates... You can add a small one at the top. Almost all of my roses are different...
The leaves are quite simple. A chain of 16 chain stitches, on it are stitches with 3, 2, 1 yarn overs on one side and the same yarn overs, alternating with one chain loop, on the other. Then everything is tied together at a crayfish pace.
Sixth MK. Video MK of flat roses from Tatyana Litke
Seventh MK of flat roses. Another option, unusual.
Eighth MK. Another rose in a flat version.
Ninth MK
I bring to your attention a blue rose - this is an element of Irish lace that is very easy to knit. You can knit it in green, then you get a leaf. 
The tenth MK presents stylized roses (from Duplet magazine)
Twelfth MK “Roses of Mackintosh”
MK of the talented needlewoman Svetlana Tomina
Variations on a theme
Rows 6-8 are worked in the round
We have finished the bud rosette
the remaining rows are rotary
9 row 1 ch, 9 sbn.
Row 10, ch 4 * 1 sc 1 ch * repeat 10 times, 2 sc with a common top, the base of the last one through one loop from the penultimate one (reduction of the loin mesh)
11 – ch 1, 24 sc
12 – ch 1, 15 sc, knit 2 sc together (reduce 1 at the end of the row)
13 – ch 1, 13 sc, knit 2 sc together (reduce 1 at the end of the row)
14 – ch 1, 10 sc, knit 2 sc together (reduce 1 at the end of the row)
15 – ch 1, 9 sc, knit 2 sc together (reduce 1 at the end of the row)
16 – ch 1, 5 sc, knit 2 sc together (reduce 1 at the end of the row)
17 – ch 1, 4 sc, knit 2 sc together (reduce 1 at the end of the row)
in these rows we smoothly cut the loops on the right and sharply on the left, under-knitting the row and cutting 2 loops before the last
18 – 3 ch, *1 ch, s1n* repeat 14 times.
19 row 1 ch 30 sbn
20 – 26 row – see above only on the right side of the contraction, not knitting 2 loops to the outermost, 1 loop on the left
Now we are on the front side, so we tie it with single crochets across the face to the rosette of the bud. Again we turn and knit a 1x1 fillet mesh with 32 double crochets. As a result, the bud is tied with fillet. Now we divide 60 loops (2 loops will be used as lifting loops and will not be taken into account, 30 squares x 2 = 60) by the number of petals we need, and just as we knitted the bud in rotating rows, we evenly knit the outer petals. The last row of the petal should always be purl, so that you can then tie a sc across the face to the base of the petal and start a new one. I got 6 rows per petal. After all the petals are tied, we tie the entire flower with sc.
By the way, if you doubt the number of loops, just print out the main piece of the rose and apply it to it, that’s how I knitted it
The diagram of the first 6 rows does not require much explanation. Rows 6-8 are worked in the round
7 r - 32 sc - we tie the fillet mesh with single crochets.
8 row – 1 ch, 8 sbn, 2 sbn in one arch of the previous row, 1 sbn, 2 sbn in one arch of the previous row, 12 sbn, 2 sbn in one arch of the previous row, 1 sbn, 2 sbn in one arch of the previous row, 6 sc, connecting post:
9 row 1 ch, 9 sbn. (this photo turned out blurry, I'll rearrange it later)
If we only need a bud, then we continue to tie it with single crochets to give clear contours.
Again we turn and knit a 1x1 fillet mesh with 32 double crochets. As a result, the bud is tied with fillet. Now we divide 60 loops (2 loops will be used as lifting loops and will not be taken into account, 30 squares x 2 = 60) by the number of petals we need, and, just as we knitted a bud in rotary rows, we evenly knit the outer petals. The last row of the petal should always be purl, so that you can then tie a sc across the face to the base of the petal and start a new one. I got 6 rows per petal. After all the petals are tied, we tie the entire flower with sc to smooth out the corners
Hello, residents of the Country of Mothers!
Today I want to show you beautiful voluminous crocheted roses. And perhaps someone will want to knit such roses, and I will tell you how to do it. I would like to immediately apologize for the quality of some photos (I took them late at night, after putting the children to bed)
I saw these roses and just fell in love. Schemes from some Chinese site.
So, you will need:
-yarn, I also have PELICAN (Vita Cotton). Composition: 100% double mercerized cotton. Thread length 330 m. Skein weight 50 g. and COCO (Vita Cotton). Composition:100% mercerized cotton. Thread length 240 m. Skein weight 50 g.
-hook, I have number 1.7
-wire- thinner so that it bends well, and thick for the stem, it should not bend under the weight of the rose.
- florenta Green colour
- glue, I used Moment, universal gel
- padding polyester, a small amount of
- beads or half beads, for dew drops
- a vessel where your rose will live, I have a small glass vase and decorative stones.
Girls, at the request of the copyright holder, I deleted the diagrams. I leave only my photographs of petals. If desired, the diagrams can be found in the public domain on the Internet. Many people copied this post into liveinternet diaries.
We knit three small petals. Make the initial circle of air loops as small as possible so that the hole is almost invisible. We hide the starting thread and leave a longer thread at the end so that later we have something to sew the rose together with.
We knit the next larger petals in the amount of three pieces, according to the same principle.
Then 4 slightly larger petals.
And the largest petals are 5 pieces.
Then we knit a bud and sew the petals to it. Here the initial ring of air loops should be larger so that there remains a hole where we will then insert the wire stem. The bud needs to be stuffed tightly with padding poly.
Now we will sew the petals onto the bud. Remember that the hole for the stem should be at the bottom. We will sew it in layers, according to the number of petals of different sizes - that is, there will be four layers. You need to sew them on like this. First we sew half of the petal, then half of the second petal, then sew the second half of the first petal onto the second petal. And so on all three petals in a circle. It should look like this.
We sew the remaining petals using the same principle. Just try it on first, make sure the petals fit nicely. In the end it should look like this.
Now the stems and leaves. Cut the thin wire into pieces: two smaller and one larger. We knit leaves of a suitable shape. There are many diagrams of different leaves on the Internet, choose what you like, I won’t focus on it here. You need two more and four smaller leaves. We wrap the two smaller pieces of wire with floral tape. Then we begin to wrap the larger one and in the process we wrap the small stems crosswise several times to the large one, as in the photo.
Then glue the leaves to the stems. We take a thick wire for the main stem and also wrap it with floral tape, in the process wrapping a branch with leaves, according to the same principle - crosswise. I knitted the sepal without a pattern, a circle in single crochets, up to 30 loops, then each leaf separately - 6 loops at the base, in every third row we decrease 1 loop. Be sure to leave a hole in the middle for the stem. Then we put the sepal on the stem, thickly coat the tip of the stem with glue and stick it into the rose, trying to push it further away. We move the sepals to the rose and glue them.
