- Repeat for 4 more petals, making a total of 5 petals in this layer.
Second Petal Layer
- Repeat the steps for the first petal layer, making 5 additional petals, but this time use pastel pink yarn for a beautiful gradient effect.
Third Petal Layer

- Repeat the same steps creating 5 petals matching the previous layers’ pattern.
Buds
- Begin with a MR. Work 4 sc in the ring.
- Pull the ring tight and sl st to the first sc, forming a round shape.
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
- Shape the bud by slightly tucking the petals inward and attach it to your desired position on the stem.
Leaves

- Row 1: Starting in the second ch from the hook, work 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, and 1 sc.
- Continue by working back down the chain in reverse order.

Vein Details
- With the same green yarn, ch 6 and work a sl st in each ch back to form a vein.
- Attach the vein to the leaf with a few stitches, ensuring it looks natural.

Assembly
- First, attach the rose center to the wrapped stem using the long tail left from the rose center.
- Sew on the layers of petals, starting from the largest to the smallest, ensuring they are staggered for a natural look.
- Finally, position the leaves around the base of the flower and secure them in place with a few stitches.
