Wonderful Crochet Flower Rose

These cute yarn roses are not crocheted — they are made using a fork and yarn! Very easy and fast. I’ll teach you step-by-step.

Materials

• Yarn (any soft acrylic yarn works best)
• A regular dinner fork
• Scissors
• Needle + thread or hot glue (to secure bottom)

---

Step 1 — Prepare the Yarn

Pull out about 1 meter (100 cm) of yarn.
Don’t cut yet — just keep the yarn connected to the ball.

---

Step 2 — Begin Wrapping on the Fork

Hold the fork in your left hand (or right if you are left-handed).

How to Wrap:

1. Place the yarn behind the fork.
2. Bring the yarn over the front and then behind again.
3. Repeat this like you are wrapping ribbon around the fork.

Wrap 12–16 times (more wraps = bigger rose).

Make sure your wrapping is neat and straight, not twisted.

Step 3 — Tie the Middle

Now cut a 10–12 cm piece of yarn.

1. Slide this small piece through the middle gap of the fork tines.
2. Pull the small yarn tight.
3. Tie a double knot on the back side of the fork.

This knot is very important — it keeps the loops from falling apart.

Step 4 — Remove From Fork

Gently slide all the yarn off the fork.
Now you have a small bow tie shape (like a tiny butterfly).

Step 5 — Create the Spiral Rose

Hold the knot side down.

1. Begin rolling the loops from one end toward the other, like rolling a cinnamon bun.
2. The loops will naturally curve and look like petals.

Keep rolling slow and tight so the rose shape forms nicely.

Step 6 — Secure the Bottom

Option A: Needle & Thread (Best)

• Flip the rose over.
• Stitch through all bottom layers 3–6 times.
• Tighten and tie the thread off.

Option B: Hot Glue (Easiest)

• Add a small drop of glue to the bottom as you hold the rose shape.
• Press gently while glue cools.

Step 7 — Arrange Petals

Gently spread the outer loops to open the rose petals.

Now you can use your roses to make:

• Hair clips
• Keychains

• Gift wrapping embellishments
