Rose Square Crochet Pattern

🧶 Materials Needed:

To create this beautiful rose-inspired crochet square, gather the following materials:

Yarn A: Peony Pink – This will form the core and first few layers of petals.
Yarn B: Jade – Used for detailing and decorative bobble stitches.
Yarn C: Peach – Creates the final structural layers.

Special Crochet Stitches Used:

Before starting, familiarize yourself with these specialized stitches that add texture and dimension to your work:

3-t-bc (Three-Treble Bobble Stitch): This stitch creates a raised bobble for texture and depth.
BPsc (Back Post Single Crochet): A post stitch that adds structure by wrapping around the back of a previous round’s stitch.

📌 Step-by-Step Instructions

Round 1: Creating the Center of the Rose

Using Yarn A, form a magic ring and work the following stitches into it:

Make 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring.
Close the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) into the first single crochet.

At the end of this round, you should have 6 stitches in total.

Round 2: Forming the Base for the Petals

Ch 1, then make one sc in the next stitch.
(Ch 3, skip one stitch, sc in the next stitch.) Repeat this sequence two more times.
Ch 3 and close the round with a slip stitch in the first sc.

You should now have 12 stitches in total, forming the foundational spaces for the first petal layer.

Round 3: Shaping the First Layer of Petals

Sl st into the nearest chain space to position your hook for petal work.
Ch 1, then in the same chain space, work: sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc (this forms a petal).
Repeat this petal formation for each chain space around.
Close the round with a slip stitch in the first sc.

By the end of this round, you should see 6 soft, rounded petals forming. Total stitches: 21.

Round 4: Creating the Base for the Second Petal Layer

(This round is worked behind the petals to provide a foundation for the next layer.)

Ch 1, then work a BPsc around the hdc of the previous round, ch 3.
Repeat this sequence 6 times around.
Join with a sl st in the first BPsc.

At this stage, you’ll have 18 new chain stitches, which serve as the base for the next set of petals.

Round 5: Crafting the Second Layer of Petals

Sl st into the next chain space to begin.
(Sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) into the same chain space.
Repeat this sequence 5 more times to form the second petal layer.
Close the round with a slip stitch in the first sc.

At the end of this round, you should have 42 stitches in total, and your rose will now have two layers of petals.

Round 6: Establishing the Base for the Outer Petals

(Again, working behind the petals to prepare for the final round of petals.)

Ch 1, then BPsc around the middle dc from Round 5, ch 5.
Repeat this 6 times around.
Close with a sl st in the first BPsc.

Now, your piece has 6 post stitches and 30 new chain stitches, forming the foundation for the outermost petal layer.

Round 7: Crafting the Final Petal Layer

Sl st into the next chain space to position your hook.
(Sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc) into the same chain space.
Repeat this sequence 5 more times for a total of 6 large petals.
Fasten off using an invisible join for a seamless finish.

By the end of this round, your rose will have three beautifully layered petals, with 54 stitches in total.

🌿 Adding Decorative Details

Now, we’ll introduce Yarn B to add bobble stitches and decorative edging.

Round 8: Creating Bobble Stitch Accents

(Join Yarn B in the middle dc of any petal to begin.)

Ch 1, work a 3-t-bobble stitch in the same space, then ch 2.
Between the last dc and the next petal, ch 3, make another 3-t-bobble, ch 2.
Between the next dc and the next petal, ch 3, make a 3-t-bobble, ch 2.
Between the last dc and the start of the same petal, ch 3, make a 3-t-bobble, ch 9.
Repeat this 4 times around.
Fasten off with an invisible join.

After completing this round, you should see raised bobbles evenly distributed across your work, giving the piece more texture. Total chains: 24.

🧡 Adding the Final Square Shape

Round 9: Defining the Square Edges

(Join Yarn C in any ch-space following a 3-t-bobble after a ch-2 space.)

Work a dc 2-together in the same space.
Continue with dc stitches in the next ch-2 spaces, then ch 2.
Ch 3 in each of the next two chain spaces.
Work 3 hdc into each of the next two chain spaces.
Ch 3, work 2 hdc in the next chain space.
In the next chain space, create a corner: 3 dc, 3 hdc, 3 dc.
In the next space, work 5 hdc.

Repeat this sequence to form a square shape around the floral design.

Once the square shape is formed, fasten off and weave in all loose ends neatly. Block the finished piece if needed to ensure even edges and a clean, polished look.
