Retro Roses Easy Crochet Design

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in your desired colors
• Crochet hook (appropriate size for your yarn)
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Pattern:

Step 1: Crochet the Rose Center

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), then work 9 double crochets into the magic ring.
3. Pull the magic ring tight to close the center. Slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain 3 to join the round.

Step 2: Crochet the Rose Petals

1. Chain 4 (counts as the first treble crochet), then work the following stitches into the same stitch: treble crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, and slip stitch.
2. Slip stitch into the next stitch of the center to attach the petal. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 five more times to create a total of six petals around the center.

Step 3: Crochet the Rose Base

1. Chain 20 (or a length that suits your desired stem length), then slip stitch into the base of the rose to secure the chain.
2. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to create more retro roses as desired. You can experiment with different color combinations and sizes to achieve various looks.
