These are roses we're planning on making as lapel pins for Mother's Day for the women in our Church. I made the red rose with ordinary red-heart yarn and a size I hook, but it turned out really big. The white rose I made with a size E hook and cotton yarn. It seems to be more of an appropriate size this way.
Begin by chaining 51
Row 1: (dc, ch 2, dc) in 5th ch from hook,
*ch 2, skip 2 ch, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch,
repeat from * across until 1 ch is left in original foundation ch. dc in last ch.
Row 2: ch 3, turn, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc)in 1st ch 2 space,
*skip next ch 2 space, (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next ch 2 space, repeat from * across until 1 dc remains, dc in last dc.
Row 3: turn, 9 dc in first ch 2 space,
sc in next ch 2 sp
* 9 dc in next ch 2 space, sc in next ch 2 space,* repeat from * to * across, slip stitch in last ch of round 2, finish off leaving several inches of thread at the end.
You will need this thread to weave the strip into a rose shape. Using a needle, roll the petals around from inside out and sew together as you go.
