Chain 50.
Add a single crochet into each chain across, starting with the 2nd chain from the hook.
Chain 4 (counts as 1 double crochet and 2 chains) and insert a double crochet into the first stitch (right next to the chain 4).
Chain 1, skip the next 2 stitches, and insert a double crochet into the 3rd stitch.
Chain 2 and insert a double crochet into the same stitch (a V-stitch).
Repeat the same pattern (chain 1, double crochet into the 3rd stitch, chain 2, double crochet into the same stitch) until the end.End your row with a single double crochet into the last stitch.
Step 2: Finish crocheting the rose
Insert a single crochet into the first chain 1 space from the last row.
Insert 8 double crochet into the chain 2 space, between the double crochet from the last row.
Repeat the last two steps (single crochet into chain 1 space, 8 double crochet into chain 2 space) 7 more times, for a total of 8.
Insert a single crochet into the chain 1 space.
Insert 12 double crochet into the chain 2 space.
Repeat the last two steps (single crochet into chain 1 space, 12 double crochet into chain 2 space) to the end -- 7 more times.
Cut your yarn and tie it off.
Step 3: Sew the rose into shape
Thread a 12 inch piece of red yarn onto a yarn needle.
Tie the yarn to the right side of the rose (the side opposite the tails). Roll the rose into shape, sewing through the bottom after each fold.
Tie all the ends to each other and then cut off the tails.
Step 4: Crochet the leaves
Create a slip knot with green yarn and tighten it on your hook.Chain 10.
Insert the following stitches into each chain across, starting with the 2nd chain from the hook:Slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch.
Cut and tie off the yarn, leaving a 6 inch tail.
Repeat all of step 4 two more times for a total of 3 leaves.
Step 5: Make the rose stem
Cut a 16 inch piece of gardening wire (about 20 gauge).
Fold the wire in half.
Use pliers to twist the wire together, leaving a bit of a gap at the folded end.
Insert green yarn into the bottom gap and then twist/wrap the yarn, covering the bottom of the wire.
Begin wrapping the yarn around the wire
Continue wrapping the yarn around the wire until almost the end, leaving about 1/2 inch exposed wire.
Cut and secure the yarn. You can tie it into place or use pliers to squish the yarn between the wire.
Step 6: Assemble the rose
Sew one of the leaves onto the bottom of the rose using the long tail.
Sew on the other two leaves, and then tie and cut the tails.
Add a generous amount of hot glue to the bottom center of the rose.
Push the wire end of the stem into the glue, attaching it to the rose.
Wrap the tail around the base of the stem, into the glue, or simply cut it off.
