Crochet Rose Flower

Hello everyone! Valentine's day is almost here. Let me share with you the crochet rose flower I made last night. 

Crochet Rose Flower

Today is my son's Valentine's day party at school. Though they are not obliged to give something to their teacher, I thought of making a crochet rose flower for her.

I crochet the rose flower. You can find the free pattern of crochet rose here.

After I finished the crochet rose flower, Daddy attached it to a soft wire as its stem. He then cut two leaves from a green felt cloth that we have. Finally, he covered the wire stem with green ribbon.

Crochet Poinsettia Headband

Tweet

I know you are waiting for a free pattern. Daddy Allan made this beautiful headband, which I called Poinsettia headband because of its color combination. 

Looks very Christmas right?

This is just easy to do.

You will need:

3-ply acrylic yarn (red & green)

5.0 mm hook

How to do it:

Band (green yarn)

Ch8. hdc in the 3rd ch from the hook. Hdc until last ch. Ch2, turn, hdc in each st. Continue crocheting row after row until you reached the desired length.

If you want the band to be adjustable, make a loop after the last row.

Ch6, sl st in the opposite side. Fasten off and weave all ends. Sew 2-3 buttons to the band that is 1-inch apart. So in case your baby girl grows a little, she can still wear the headband.

Big Flower (red yarn)

Ch5. Sl st into the first ch to form a ring. Ch1. Make 10 sc into the ring. Join with sl st to Ch1.

Ch1. Make 2sc in each st. Join with sl st to Ch1.

[Ch20. sc in same st. Ch20. sc in next st.]* Repeat this around.

Fasten off and weave all ends.

Small Flower (gree yarn)

Ch5. Sl st into the first ch to form a ring. Ch1. Make 10 sc into the ring. Join with sl st to Ch1.

[Ch16. sc in next st.]* Repeat this around.

Fasten off and weave all ends.

To make the flowers flat, you may use an iron or steam. Arrange or blocked them into a foam board using pin. Then gently press your iron over them.

Sew a red button to the band, then attached the two flowers just like the photo above.

That easy right?

P.S.: This is that my own design. I just modify the free pattern I found at My Favourite Things blog.

Crochet Rose Headband

Tweet

I love headbands! It's easy to crochet and I love all the flowers you can add for embellishments.

This time I made a crochet rose flower and attached it to a crochet band. I found an easy pattern here. I just make some adjustments like putting adjustable buttons.

Crochet Rose Headband

You will need:

Acrylic yarn (2 colors for the flower and band)

Small buttons

Hook (6/10)

Here's how to do it:

For the Headband

CH50 or the until you reach the desired size. Make sure to add a little adjustment about 0.5-1.0 inch. This is the original size may decrease as we do HDC back.

HDC in the 3rd CH from hook until the last CH. CH4. Working in the opposite side, HDC until the the last st. Sl st to the first HDC.

Rose Flower

CH 52. SC in the 2nd CH from the hook. SC acrosse. CH1, turn. [SC in next st, 4DC in next st, SC in next st] repeat this 17 times to make 17 petals. Fasten off and leave about 18" tail for sewing to headband.

Roll your scallop into a flower of your desired look. Once okay, attach a needle to the tail and sew all the petals all together in place.

Sew the rose onto the headband. Measure out where you want to put the button, and sew them using the yarn you used for the headband.

That easy =)
