Continue Building Rounds:
Continue this pattern from Round 6 to Round 24, increasing the number of regular double crochets before the increase by one stitch in each round, and adding a chain 1 after each group. You’ll see a wide spiral shape forming—this will create the layered rose look.
Round 25 – Foundation for Petals:
Chain 5, skip 2 stitches.
Then repeat:
Make 1 single crochet, chain 4, skip 2 stitches.
Continue around and join with a slip stitch.
Round 26 – Petal Loops with Picots:
Into each chain space, work the following:
Make 1 single crochet, chain 4, create a picot (chain 3 and slip stitch into the first chain), chain 2, and then make 1 single crochet into the same space.
Repeat in each space around.
Round 27 – Final Ruffle:
Chain 15, skip 3 stitches, make 1 double crochet and 2 double crochet stitches in the same stitch.
Then repeat 9 times: Make 3 double crochet stitches in one stitch (increasing).
Chain 4 and slip stitch to finish.
Assembly – Shaping the Rose
Now comes the magic! Take your long spiral and begin to roll it from the center, shaping it into a rose as you go. Use a yarn needle and thread to secure the base with a few stitches. Adjust the layers of petals until you’re happy with the fullness and shape.
Repeat this pattern to create as many roses as your blanket or project needs!
