Oh wow — I made a yellow rose the other day and I must say, even though that’s a lovely photo up there, there is nothing like looking at the finished project made yourself in person from all angles! This rose pattern is simply amazing, and much simpler than it seems at first. I am still rather new to crocheting and pulled it off easily.

Thank you very much for this and all your free patterns on this site. They have been a wonderful help to me!

Hey Mid, I’m not sure what you mean by “the one that was created by double crocheting in the same stitch in the first row, or the ones after that” but the chain 2 space in the pattern refers the “ch 2″ that you made on the previous row. So you insert your hook under space created by the chain 2 to make your stitches. Let me know if you need more help.

Great pattern! I just have one question: When you say skip 2 and 2 double crochet in next chain 2 space, do you mean the one that was created by double crocheting in the same stitch in the first row, or the ones after that?

Hi Jen, there should be 16 petals when you are done.

Hi Rachael,
I just stumbled upon your website and patterns a few days ago. This rose is beautiful, very realistic looking and perfect for my project. I think I may have done something wrong and I was wondering if you could tell me how many ‘petals’ I should have. I seem to have twice as much as I should! LOL!

Thanks in advance for your help!

WOOOHOO!!!! I’m so happy for you Mary!!! You don’t have to stop writing, I love it when people leave me comments to read, even if it’s to ask for help or say they finally made it
Hmm…maybe I can setup something so that people can upload pics…that’s something to think about.

YIPPEE!!!! I did it…Thanks Rachel…It’s a lot bigger than I thought, if I had read the dimensions, I would have seen that. I was just in such a hurry to get it started, I couldn’t wait to try it. This rose has caused quite a stir. But thanks to you, and your photos, I figured it out…I am a visual learner. That’s what’s so great about your site. Lots of visuals. Thank you SOOOOO much..
I promise to stop writing for a while…I just couldn’t help telling you that I finally did it. If I can do it, anyone can….I wish I could show you how it turned out. I’d love to see the roses of everyone that wrote in about this…..I love crochet…and you’re the best…XOXO…I

I’m so dumb..In row 3 it doesn’t say turn, so I didn’t..so my petals are on the bottom instead of the top…a very interesting spiril, but not the pattern the way it is suppose to be. I didn’t finish it all, so I am pulling it out (again) so that I can see if I can finally get this done correctly. I actually went back to the abbreviated pattern and saw the problem I was having yesterday and fixed that. I am determined to make this beautiful rose if it kills me. Your rolling of the rose pics helped me realize that my unrolled rose did not look like yours…Thanks for that. Thanks for everything
