how to crochet a pretty rose

I wanted to show you how to crochet a pretty rose. Its super easy and any beginner crocheter can do it. 

All you need is some medium worsted yarn, I use red heart, embroidery needle and a K crochet hook. You can use a smaller hook to make smaller roses but I wouldn't try to go any larger because the roses might turn out lopsided. 

{chain 55}

{Row1} 1 dc in 5th chain from hook, *Ch 1, sk 1ch (dc,ch 1, dc) in the next st, rpt frmo *to* till end of row, ch 2 turn

{Row2} *(hdc, 4dc, hdc) 1st ch sp, sl st in next ch1 sp*, rpt *to* till end of row+

{Roll rose into shape very loosely, take a large embroidery needle and stitch it together}

I thrifted this wreath a few weeks ago for $2, hated the ribbon but loved the actual wreath. 

Cut off all the ribbon and attached the roses onto the wreath. I just attached them by tying the yarn onto the branches. You can also hot glue gun them.

I also took some yarn and made a mini hook on top so I can hang.

You can use the roses for anything, wreaths, garlands, decorations for presents or you can attach them to napkins as napkin holders for Thanksgiving.
