This Tealight Rose uses :
Schachenmayr nomotta Bravo (color 08194)
Some leftofer green cotton yarn for the leafs
4mm crochet hook
The compleet crochet piece is 15cm Ø
The little glass where the candle is in is 4cm Ø
Abbrevations:
Slip Stitch (sl st), Chain (ch), Single crochet (sc), Double crochet (dc), Treble crochet
(tr), Double Treble crochet (dtr), skip (sk), picot (= ch 3, close with sl st in first ch of
ch 3)
Pattern:
You start in the middle of the rose.
1. Rd: ch 5, sl st in 1st ch to form a ring. Ch 4 (counts as first tr), work 15 tr in
ring, sl st in 4th ch from ch 4 to close the round (= 16 tr)
2. Rd: sc in same stitch where you made the sl st, ch 5, *sk one tr, sc in next tr,
ch 5*, repeat from * to* 6 more times, sl st in 1st sc you made (= 8 loops made)
3. Rd: sl st into 1st loop, dc, 3 tr, dc, sl st , *sl st into next loop, dc, 3 tr, dc, sl st*,
repeat from * to * 6 more times, sl st in 1st sl st to close round (= 1st Rd of 8
peatls made)
4. Rd: Now you work from behind into the skipped tr of Rd 2
(Tipp for every new “loop Rd”: after closing “petal round” before joining first sc or sl st of next
“loop Rd” I made 2 or 3 ch. So I didn´t have to fasten of the yarn and the rose stayed
“straight”. But do not work on these extra ch!!!)
sc in first sk tr of Rd 2, ch 6, *sc in next sk tr, ch 6*, repeat from * to * 6 more
times, sl st in 1st sc you made (= 8 loops made).
5. Rd: sl st into 1st loop, dc, 5 tr, dc, sl st , *sl st into next loop, dc, 5 tr, dc, sl st*,
repeat from * to * 6 more times, sl st in 1st sl st to close round (= 2nd Rd of 8
peatls made)
6. Rd: From behind sl st around the base of petals made in Rd 3 [(where 2 petals
meet) you have to go throught the loops of Rd 4 to reach the base] *ch 7, sl st
around next base of Rd 3*, repeat from * to * 6 more times (= 8 loops made).
7. Rd: sl st into 1st loop, dc, 7 tr, dc, sl st , *sl st into next loop, dc, 7 tr, dc, sl st*,
repeat from * to * 6 more times, sl st in 1st sl st to close round (= 3d
Rd of 8 peatls made)
8. Rd: From behind sl st around the base of petals made in Rd 5 [(where 2 petals
meet) you have to go throught the loops of Rd 6 to reach the base] *ch 8, sl st
around next base of Rd 5*, repeat from * to * 6 more times (= 8 loops made).
9. Rd: sl st into 1st loop, dc, 9 tr, dc, sl st , *sl st into next loop, dc, 9 tr, dc, sl st*,
repeat from * to * 6 more times, sl st in 1st sl st to close round (=4th Rd of 8
peatls made)
10. Rd: From behind sl st around the base of petals made in Rd 7 [(where 2 petals
meet) you have to go throught the loops of Rd 8 to reach the base] *ch 9, sl st
around next base of Rd 5*, repeat from * to * 6 more times. Fasten off (= 8
loops made, into tese loops you will work the leafes).
11. Rd: Change Color to green. Join wit sl st in any of the last 8 Loops made.
Work in same loop as sl st:
*Leaf 1: ch 3 (= dc when repeating leaf), dc, 2 tr, picot, 2 tr, 2 dtr, picot, 2 dtr, 2
tr, picot, 2 tr, 2 dc.
Leaf 2: (worked in next loop) 2 dc, 4 tr, picot, 2 dtr, picot, 2 dtr, picot, 4 tr, 2
dc*, repeat from * to * 3 more times (= 4 times Leaf 1 and 4 times leaf 2
made). Fasten off.
Well done :o) your Tealight Rose is ready :o)))
If you want you can make your Rose much bigger. You just have to go on
repeating one “loop Rd” and one “petal Rd” as often as you want to [before
you make the Leafes round, wich you have to adapt yourselfe then ;o)].
Note: always add one ch per loop in the “loop Rd” and two tr per petal in the
“petal Rd” on every extra Petal layer you make.
