I have been making these brooches for many years in all colours, I based them on this little rose tree in my garden (the crocheted brooch and the real rose are about the same size).
This is the first time I have written the pattern out (its embeded in my brain) and as valentines is near, why not make yourself a rose brooch.
The pattern starts with a row of loops

You should have something that looks like this
Starting with the larger loops twist 4 loops as in the photo
Twist the next 4 on top so you can see the 4 below
continue until it looks like a roseSew into the back to hold all the layers together
Sew on a brooch back and wear

It is a beauty, and looks easy to make. Thanks for sharing the pattern. this is the time I usually look for flowers.
Nice.
I linked it on my blog
Wow, I love the rose brooch. I have been making various flower brooches, none are as nice as your rose. I am going to have to have a go. Many thanks for sharing.
I can't wait to try this rose. It's lovely!
Very thoughtful of you to include clarification as to the st methods.
Newbies often fall short of realizing there's a difference. The unawarenss leads to disappointment in executing the pattern.
Your effort has prevented the happening.
Many thanks!!!!
Thanks for this pattern! I'm making roses for a bridal bouquet and this is the best pattern I've found so far.
thanks for posting your pattern :) it looks easy to make (well, you explained well anyway!) for such a pretty rose. Thanks!
I'm not new at crocheting but am new to novelty items. Can anyone tell me how you finish off once you're done with the last loop? Also, it says to sew into the back to hold it all together, Can anyone explain a little more detailed?
lagardner cut yarn leaving a long length to use for sewing and pull yarn through last stitch the same as with "normal" crochet.
I just used a darning needle and keep going in and out of the petals from the back until everything felt firm than added the brooch back
thank you!
Thanks Anon, you are spot on :)
how many chain do you start with looks lovely cant wait to try it
narelle, chain 10
you make loops in the first row, each loop is a petal
