🌸 FULL CROCHET PATTERN: MINI ROSE FLOWER KEYCHAIN

🧶 MATERIALS:

• Yarn (worsted weight or cotton works best):
  • Blue (flower)
  • Green (leaves)
• Hook: 2.5 mm – 3.5 mm
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Keyring with chain
• Hot glue (optional)

📏 SIZE:

Finished flower = ~5–6 cm diameter
(Depends on yarn weight and tension)

🌹 PART 1: CROCHET ROSE FLOWER

We’ll crochet a strip of petals that spiral into a rose.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Foundation:
   • With blue yarn, ch 51.
     • (You can change this: each 2 ch = 1 petal. So ch 41 = 20 petals, ch 61 = 30 petals, etc.)
2. Row 1 (Base):
   • Starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, sc in each ch across.
     → 50 sc
3. Row 2 (Petal Layer):
   • In first sc: sl st
   • In next sc: (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc)
   • Skip 1 stitch, and repeat (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) in every other stitch.
   This creates a row of 25 petals: sl st, (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc), skip 1 → repeat to end The strip will now be ruffled — that’s perfect!

💠 Shaping the Rose:

1. Begin rolling the strip from the starting end.
2. Form a spiral flower, adjusting the layers so petals overlap naturally.
3. Sew the base of the flower together from the underside with the yarn tail and yarn needle. Make several passes to ensure it holds firmly.

🍃 PART 2: CROCHET LEAVES BASE

We’ll make individual leaves and join them into a circle.

Leaf Pattern (Make 5–6):

1. With green yarn, ch 6.
2. Work into the chain as follows:
   • Row 1:
     • Sl st in 2nd ch from hook,
     • Sc, hdc, dc, tr
     • Ch 1, do not turn.
3. Continue on the other side of the chain (working back):
   • Tr, dc, hdc, sc, sl st

You now have one complete leaf.

Repeat to make 5–6 leaves.

Join Leaves into a Circle:

1. Arrange leaves into a circle (slightly overlapping).
2. Use a yarn needle and green yarn to stitch the leaf points together in a round.
3. This forms a leafy base to mount your rose.

🔗 PART 3: ASSEMBLING KEYCHAIN

1. Attach Flower to Leaves:

• Center the rose flower on the leafy circle.
• Using leftover yarn tails, sew the rose base onto the leaves. Stitch through multiple layers for strength.

2. Attach to Keyring:

Option A – Sew:

• Thread blue yarn through a stitch at the top back of the flower.
• Pull through one of the chain links on the keyring.
• Tie securely and weave in the tail.

Option B – Hot Glue:

• Add a drop of glue to the back of the flower or leaf base.
• Press keyring chain pad or jump ring into the glue and hold until dry.

✅ OPTIONAL IDEAS:

• Use two contrasting yarn colors in the petals for a multicolor rose.
• Stiffen the flower and leaves with spray starch or fabric stiffener to help hold shape longer.
• Add a small felt circle at the bottom to cover stitching for a neater look.
