Roses…and more roses….

I am having so much fun making crocheted roses!

I saw the links to the instructions at Rose Haven  and then I saved them on my computer in Publisher to print them out in a bigger font! So that I can see them! lol She’s having a giveaway right now so it’s a great time to visit!  Click HERE ! Here are the patterns that I saved on my computer……

Large Rose (this is the RED rose that I made)

Leaving a 10" length for sewing, chain 57.

Row 1 (Wrong side): (Dc, ch 2, dc) in sixth ch from hook (5 skipped chs count as first dc plus ch 2),*ch 2, skip next 2 chs, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch; repeat from * across: 36 sps.
