Crochet roses

I stumbled over this great piece by a etsy seller called Trendyknitting, and wanted to learn how to make these

great crocheted roses myself. You can find the recipe for it below.

Nice pattern off to give it a go

Recipe for a large rose:

Leaving a 10" length for sewing, chain 57.

Row 1 (Wrong side): (Dc, ch 2, dc) in sixth ch from hook (5 skipped chs count as first dc plus ch 2),

*ch 2, skip next 2 chs, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch; repeat from * across: 36 sps.

Row 2: Ch 3, turn; 5 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp, (6 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp) 5times,

(9 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp) 5 times, (12 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next sp) 7 times;

finish off leaving a 10" length for sewing.

Thread yarn needle with yarn end from beginning chain. With right side facing and beginning with first

petal made, refer to photo to roll Rose; sew to secure as you roll. Then thread needle with ending yarn

A great way to finish off your knitting or crochet pieces, right? :)
