Pattern
Part 1: Vase
- Round 1:
- Start with a magic ring, work 6 sc into the ring. Pull the ring to close. (6 sts)
- Round 2:
- Work 2 sc into each stitch around. (12 sts)
- Round 3:
- Work 2 sc into each stitch around again. (24 sts)
- Round 4 (Back Loop Only):
- Sc in BLO of each stitch around (24 sts). This creates the vase base.
- Round 5:
- Work 3 sc, 1 inc around. Repeat this sequence to the end of the round. (30 sts)
- Rounds 6-9:
- Sc evenly around (30 sts per round) to create the body of the vase.
- Round 10:
- Work 3 sc, 1 dec around. Repeat this sequence to the end. (24 sts)
- Add Stuffing:
- Begin stuffing the vase with fiberfill or floral foam. Optionally secure base filling with hot glue.
- Round 11:
- Work 2 sc, 1 dec around to decrease the opening of the vase. (18 sts)
- Round 12:
- Work 7 sc, 1 dec around. (16 sts)
- Rounds 13-14:
- Sc evenly around. (16 sts per round)
- Final Round:
- Work 1 sc, 1 inc around to create a slight flare at the top of the vase. (24 sts)
- Fasten off, weave in ends, and set the vase aside.
Part 2: Rose
- Foundation Chain:
- Begin with a slip knot. Chain 26 stitches.
- Petals:
- In the second chain from hook, work 4 dc in the same stitch, then sl st in the next chain.
- Repeat the following sequence along the chain: 4 dc in one stitch, sl st in the next.
- Continue this pattern until the end of the chain.
- Finishing the Rose:
- Once complete, make a sl st in the last chain, chain 1, then cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
- Roll the crocheted strip to form a spiral rose shape. Adjust the petals as desired, and hot glue the base of the rose to hold its shape.
Part 3: Leaves
- Leaf 1 (Large):
- Chain 8.
- In the second chain from the hook, work:
- 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc in each of the next 3 chains, 2 dc in each of the last 2 chains.
- Fasten off.
- Leaf 2 (Medium):
- Chain 8, repeat steps as Leaf 1 but with fewer dc worked tighter.
- Attach Leaves:
- Once all three leaves are completed, arrange them at the base of the rose. Hot glue them in place.
Part 4: Assembly
- Stuff the top of the vase lightly with fiberfill.
- Apply hot glue to the underside of the rose, attaching it to the vase opening. Hold until secure.
- Flip the leaves upward around the rose base for a natural look. Glue them to the vase for a finished design.
- Attach a keychain ring if desired by threading it through the vase.
Important Remarks
Your keychain will look as professional as you want depending on small details like tightening stitches, burning excess yarn fuzz, and stitching securely. Careful glue placement and proper filling will give it a polished finish.
Pattern Variations
- Colors:
- Use a red yarn for a classic rose or experiment with white, lavender, orange, or yellow for a colorful bouquet.
- Change the vase color to match decor, such as blue, white, or even multicolored yarn for a fun twist.
- Size Adjustments:
- Use bulky yarn and a larger hook for a larger rose and vase or fine thread and a 1.5 mm crochet hook for a miniature version.
Customization Ideas
- Add beads or pearls to the rose for extra flair.
- Embroider small details, like vines or patterns on the vase.
- Use metallic threads for a shimmering, elegant look.
- Add more roses or different flowers (like crochet daisies or sunflowers) atop one vase for a bouquet.
