Why We Love Thai Rose
- The crochet rose comprises four small and medium petals, five large petals, a sepal, and two leaves that look realistic once assembled, showing every element of the flower. This is a great way to improve your skills and learn new techniques.
- You can choose any color for the rose depending on your liking and preference. Use deep crimson, vivid cherry red, or gentle rose pink to bring out the elegance of the flower. Vibrant clashing hues like yellow, purple, orange, and blue will result in a vivid, entertaining design that can be a conversation starter. Ombre or gradient color patterns bring sophisticated grandeur to soft, dreamy pastels.

Assembling the Rose Petals
- Step 1: Wrap the small petals around the rod one at a time using glue at the base to seal them together
- Step 2: Take the middle petals and wrap them around the small petals one at a time, gluing them slightly over each other until you cover the sides of all the small petals.
- Step 3: Take the large petals and continue the process, ensuring the tip of the large petal rests between two middle petals. Using glue, attach to the outer part of the middle petals one at a time. Cut off the tails.
Joining the Sepal
- Step 4: Insert the rod of the assembled rose through the center of the sepal and glue the petals and sepals together, making sure the sepal tips are curved out.
Joining the Leaves
- Step 5: Using green yarn, wrap a few inches down the rod, then attach the leaves opposite each other, continue wrapping until the end, and finish by gluing the end. Arrange the leaves so they look aesthetically pleasing.
