I had so many people ask me for the pattern, that I decided to write down the pattern here so I could share it with everyone!<br />
<br />
This pattern was based off of another <a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.liveinternet.ru%2Fusers%2F4163063%2Fpost276192485%2F" target="_blank">free pattern</a> that I found online, but it was in Russian so I did my best to figure it out by looking at the pictures provided. I altered it slightly to add the leaves, and I love the way it looks to sew the pearl in the middle.<br />

Afton Rose<br />
<br />
Finished size is approximately 3" inches, not including the leaves.<br />
<br />
Supplies needed:<br />
<br />
Size B Crochet Hook<br />
Approximately 1 ounce of Mercerized Crochet Cotton Sport Weight in Pink<br />
Small amount of Green<br />
Pearl<br />
Needle and Thread<br />
<br />
I used ICE Brand Camilla Cotton. I am a reseller for ICE and offer it in my Etsy shop. The price is worth it to me because it has such a nice shine and holds its shape perfectly! However, I'm sure there are other sport weight yarns that would work nicely. Click <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackberryIce?section_id=16061560&ref=shopsection_leftnav_3" target="_blank">here</a> to be taken to my Etsy shop where you can purchase the yarn that I used.<br />
<br />
Row 1:<br />
Ch 69<br />
Dc in 5th ch from hook. *Skip next ch, (Dc, ch 1, Dc) in next ch*, Repeat from * to * across. Ch 3, turn.<br />
<br />
Row 2:<br />
(2 Dc, ch 3, 2 Dc) in each ch sp on previous row. Ch 3, turn.<br />
<br />
Row 3:<br />
9 Dc in each ch sp on previous row. Ch 3, sl st in last st. Finish off.<br />
<br />
Leaves:<br />
<br />
Wind the pink ruffle you just made so that it looks like a rose. Decide where you want your leaves. You will then join green with a sl st in the top of Row 1 of the rose between the petals. Make sure that your leaves will be behind the petals.<br />
<br />
Ch 13, sc in 2nd ch from hook and next ch, hdc in each of next 2 chs, Dc in each of next 3 chs, hdc in each of next 2 chs, 2 sc in next ch. Rotate work so that you will begin working on the opposite side of the chs you just stitched in. 2 scs in same st as previous 2 scs, hdc in each of next 2 sts, Dc in each of next 3 sts, hdc in each of next 2 sts, sc in each of next 2 sts. Join with a sl st in first sc. Sl st through center of the leaf, all the way down to the base and in least 3 unworked chs. Finish off. Repeat for second leaf.<br />
<br />
Sew your rose together with a needle and thread, making sure to work through all the layers. When it is secure, sew the pearl into the center. Tie off.<br />
<br />
There you go, I hope you all enjoy it!<br />
<br />
In honor of my Grandma Afton, who will be laid to rest tomorrow.<br />
