Supplies: Use acrylic yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. Depending on the yarn and hook size, the flower size can vary from small to large. The tutorial also uses a darning needle and scissors.
Starting the Chain: Begin with a slipknot and create 61 chain stitches for a medium-sized flower. For smaller or larger flowers, use 31 or 91 chain stitches, respectively.
Creating the Base: The first row involves double crochet stitches. After skipping 5 chains, double crochet in the 6th chain. Skip two more stitches and create a series of V stitches (double crochet, chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch).
Building the Petals: The V-stitch row coils up, which is normal. In the second row, fill the V-stitches with double crochets, creating 6 to 10 double crochets depending on the section. The pattern should not confuse you, it is just the shell stitch.
Rolling the Flower: Once the petals are made, roll the crochet strip tightly to form the rose shape. Stitch the layers together to secure the shape using the darning needle.
