Rose Blossom
- Start with a magic ring (MR) and ch 3. This will count as your first double crochet (dc).

- For the next round, ch 3, then work (1 dc, ch 1) in each dc around. Join with a sl st to the top of the ch 3.
- In the next round, ch 3, (1 dc in ch 1 space, ch 1) around. Join and repeat this for a total of 4 rounds.
Once you finish the dc rounds, gently roll the flower towards the center, forming a rose shape. Secure the end with a few stitches.
Leaves
- Using green yarn, create a magic ring and ch 2.
- Work 6 sc into the ring, then pull tight and join.
- Next, work (1 inc, 1 sc) in each stitch around for a total of 12 stitches. Join and fasten off.
Sepals
- Create a smaller version of the leaves using the same technique but only work 3 sc into the magic ring.
- Repeat the increase round to yield a total of 6 stitches.
Stems
To create the stems, take floral wire and wrap it with green yarn, securing it with small stitches. Cut the wire to your desired length based on how long you want the stems.
Bouquet Arrangement
Once all the roses and leaves are ready, assemble them by first attaching the sepals to the base of each rose, then securing them to the wrapped stems. Arrange your flowers to your liking, mixing the colors for a vibrant bouquet.
Tips for the Best Result
