🌹 Basic Crochet Red Rose Pattern (Beginner-Friendly)
Here’s a simple rolled rose pattern:
Step 1: Create the Foundation Chain
Chain 41 (or any multiple depending on how full you want your rose).
Step 2: First Row
In the 2nd chain from hook, work:
1 single crochet
1 half double crochet
3 double crochets in next stitch
Repeat a pattern of:
1 single crochet
1 half double crochet
3–5 double crochets
This creates the petal shape.
