This Wednesday is reserved for a lovely crochet ring.
Once in a while I like to return to simple crochet projects with a maximum pleasing effect and the crochet rose is one of them.
For this particular rose I used cotton thread (size 5) and a 1.5 mm crochet hook.
The pattern is very easy and works up fast:
Foundation & row 1: Ch 40 and dc 2 in the 7th st from hook. Sk 2 and in next st dc1, ch2 and dc1 ("V" st) all in the same st. Repeat pattern in bold to the end of the row.
Row 2: ch2 (counts as 1st hdc), turn work and in the ch space of the V hdc1, dc4, hdc2. Repeat this "petal" pattern (hdc2, dc4, hdc2) for all ch spaces.
Leave a long tail which you'll use to sew the rose.
When done, start rolling the rose tightly and pin if necessary to prevent it to unroll, thread the tail and sew the rose.
I glued it to an adjustable ring. And here it is! I couldn't stop myself with just one so I made a small set :)

This reminded me of my aunt, who used to make flower brooches but never thought of making rings. I love how pretty they look. You always manage to surprise me with your 'simple patterns' twists. ;-)
Thank you dear Alhana! I wanted to male rose rings all summer long...
I also made a big one and plan to make a brooch with it!
So sorry I'm no good wearing rings... I always get stuck everywhere. So just plain simple bands for me, though it would be fun wearing a crochet ring though...
These rings are absolutely gorgeous and oh so romantic! We'd love it if you could share them with us over at Vintage Charm Party #151:) The party is open until early Sunday morning. Here's the link:
