Crochet Big Thai Rose Pattern

This Crochet Big Thai Rose pattern combines layered petals, a shaped sepal, and wired leaves to create a decorative yarn flower. The instructions use US crochet terms and include four small petals, four middle petals, five large petals, one flower base, and three leaves. Read through the materials and stitch abbreviations before starting, and use a stitch marker to keep track of each round.

The finished flower is assembled around a stem, with the petals arranged from smaller to larger layers. Take your time when joining the pieces so the flower keeps its shape.

Materials for the Crochet Big Thai Rose

• Yarn in dark yellow, light yellow, white, and green
• 2.0 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Stitch marker
• Darning needle
• Iron wire
• Flower stem
• Hot melt glue

Keep the wire and glue nearby for finishing, but handle them carefully. A stitch marker is especially useful because the slip stitch and chain at the end of a round do not count as stitches.

Stitches and Abbreviations

• sc: single crochet
• hdc: half double crochet
• dc: double crochet
• tr: treble crochet
• dtr: double treble crochet
• ch: chain
• ss: slip stitch
• picot st: picot stitch
• 2 sc in each st / 2 sc in next st: increase
• sc2tog: single crochet two together
• R1, R2, and so on: Round 1, Round 2, and so on

Special Stitch Notes

For sc2tog, begin a single crochet in one stitch, start another in the next stitch, then complete both together. This turns two stitches into one. To increase, work two single crochets into the indicated stitch.

The pattern is written in US crochet terms. Follow the stitch sequence as written, and use a marker at the start of rounds to make counting easier.

Join the Leaves

Tie the large leaf and two small leaves together. Angle the two smaller leaves outward to create a balanced leafy sprig.

Assemble the Crochet Big Thai Rose

1. Take 3 flower rods and wrap their tops with yellow yarn. Secure the yarn end with hot melt glue.
2. Arrange the small, middle, and large petals. Glue them onto the rod one after another to build the flower. Tie the yarn near the flower base, then secure the tie with hot melt glue.

3. Slide the rod through the center of the sepal and glue the sepal in place under the flower.

4. Wrap the rod with green yarn to cover the stem, adding the leaf sprig as you go. Secure the yarn at the end with hot melt glue.

Arrange the petals before gluing so you can check their spacing and shape. Use hot glue carefully and allow it to cool before handling the finished stem. A video tutorial may also help clarify the assembly sequence.

Finish Your Crochet Big Thai Rose

Once all the layers and leaves are attached, check that the petals sit securely and the stem covering is neat. This Crochet Big Thai Rose is made from separate crocheted components, so careful joining is key to a tidy, well-shaped result. Keep the stitch marker in place during the rounds, follow the US stitch abbreviations, and enjoy making the flower one section at a time.
