Crochet Rose

My boyfriend's niece is 5 and is a girly girl.  She loves pink and purple and dresses and flowers (and rocks).  So, I have some purple yarn left over from making a scarf and decide that a flower can't take too much yarn right?  And I made two!  A large rose and a small rose.  It was ridiculously easy and took maybe 10 minutes.

Large Rose:

use a 5.0mm hook

ch 39

work 5 tr in the 3rd chain from hook, sl st in the next st

[work 5 tr in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 6 "pedals"

[work 5 dc in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 5 "pedals"

[work 5 hdc in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 4 "pedals"

[work 5 sc in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 3 "pedals"

F/O and leave approx 12 inches of yarn for assembly

Small Rose:

use a 3.5mm hook

ch 26

work 5 dc in the 2nd chain from hook, sl st in the next st

[work 5 dc in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 5 "pedals"

[work 5 hdc in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 4 "pedals"

[work 5 sc in next st, sl st in the next st] until you have completed 3 "pedals"

F/O and leave approx 12 inches of yarn for assembly

Assembly:

using a yarn needle, starting with the smal pedals, twist in a circular motion as you stitch it together, morphing it into a rose
