Meadow Rosette Crochet Pattern 🌹🌸

  • Difficulty level: Beginner friendly.

  • MR: magic ring

  • PM: place marker

  • st(s): stitch(es)

  • sc: single crochet

  • tr: treble crochet

Special Stitches

Step-by-step Instructions

The Center (C1)

Rnd 1: In MR, with C1, 6 sc, close rnd by slip stitching in FLO of 1st st. [6 sc]

Note: PM in BLO of 1st st.



Rnd 2: Ch 3, sl st in 2nd & 3rd ch from hook, *sl st in FLO of next st, ch 3, sl st in 2nd & 3rd ch from hook; rep from * to end. FO. [6 small petals]




The Outer petals (C2)

Setup: Join C2 with a sl st to the back loop of marked st from Round 1 or you can start by starting with standing sc.

Rnd 3: Sc inc in BLO of marked st, sc inc in BLO of ea of next 5 sts. [12 scBLO]

  


Rnd 4: Ch 3, 2 tr in same st, ch-2 picot, [2 tr in next st, ch 3, sl st in same st, sl st in next st, ch 3, 2 tr in same st, ch-2 picot] 5 times, 2 tr in next st, ch 3, sl st in same st. FO. [6 large petals]

 




Finishing Touches

Weave in all loose ends on the back of the flower.

Using a needle and matching thread (or a tiny dab of fabric glue), secure the pearl directly into the center of the magic ring.

Tip: Finish Round 4 leaving a long tail for sewing. Using a yarn needle, bring the tail to the front through the center magic ring. Thread the bead, then pass the needle back to the wrong side. Secure and weave in the end.



Block the piece to get best results, make sure to "pinch" the picot stitch at the top of each petal while blocking.

"How-to" style

Home Decor Idea: The Hanging Vine

The Stem: Join yarn to the back of your finished flower and work a chain of 20–40 (or your desired length).
The Leaves: At the end of the chain, work a leaf.
Usage: Make several of these to create a floral mobile, a decorative bunting, or even a fancy gift topper!




Happy crafting 💕

WOW (Words of Wisdom)

"Love, like a wildflower, doesn't need a paved path to grow. It finds the cracks in the stone and blooms anyway. May your heart always be a meadow where love grows wild and free."
