Row 1 (Base Ribbon):
Ch 24.
Yarn over and insert your hook into the 3rd chain from the hook.
Work 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc all into that same 3rd chain (this creates the first V-stitch).
Skip 2 chains.
In the next chain, work .
Repeat step 4 and step 5 across the chain until you have completed 8 V-stitch sets in total.
Row 2 (Petals):
Ch 1 and turn your work.
In the ch 1 space between the 2 dc of the first V-stitch, work 3 hdc.
Sl st into the space between the current V-stitch and the next V-stitch.
In the ch 1 space of the next V-stitch, work 3 hdc, then sl st into the space between the sets.
Repeat across until all 8 petal sets are finished.
Fasten off, leaving a short tail.
Assembling the Flower:
Take the crocheted petal strip and roll it tightly inward starting from one end to create a compact, blooming rose blossom.
Apply small dots of hot glue along the bottom edge as you roll to secure the flower shape.
Part 4: Calyx (Make 6)
Using light green yarn and the 2.0 mm hook.
Center Ring: Work 10 sc into a magic ring. Sl st into the first sc to join.
First Sepal Leaf:
Ch 5.
In 2nd chain from hook: 1 sl st.
In next chain: 1 sl st.
In next chain: 1 sc.
In next chain: 1 hdc.
Skip 1 stitch on the center ring, sl st into the following stitch.
Remaining 4 Sepal Leaves:
Repeat step 2 four more times around the ring to form a star-like 5-pointed calyx.
Fasten off and pull the center magic ring snug, leaving a small opening for the wire stem.
Part 5: Wired Leaf (Make 6)
Using light green yarn, thin craft wire, and the 2.0 mm hook.
Ch 9.
Cut a piece of craft wire about 12 to 15 cm long. Bend it in half or place it flush against your foundation chain so you can crochet over it.
Side 1:
Working over the wire, insert hook into the 2nd chain from hook: work 1 sc.
In next chain: 1 hdc.
In next 3 chains: 3 dc (1 dc in each chain).
In next chain: 1 hdc.
In next chain: 1 sc.
In last chain: 1 sl st.
Ch 1 to turn around the tip.
Side 2 (opposite side of the chain):
Continuing to encase the wire, work 1 sc.
In next stitch: 1 hdc.
In next 3 stitches: 3 dc.
In next stitch: 1 hdc.
In last stitch: 1 sc.
Sl st into the first sc to join.
Cut the yarn leaving a long tail (about 25 cm). Bring the tail out through the back.
Snip the beginning tail. Wrap the long yarn tail tightly around the exposed wire stem beneath the leaf for about 2 to 3 cm.
Separate the two wire ends slightly, pass the yarn tail through the gap, and twist the wire together firmly to lock the wrapping in place.
Part 6: Stem Assembly
Cut a length of craft wire (about 15 to 18 cm).
Insert one end of the wire up through the center hole of a green calyx.
Place a dab of hot glue inside the calyx cup and press the base of a rolled rose firmly onto it.
Take a strand of light green yarn and begin wrapping it tightly down the wire stem starting right beneath the calyx.
After wrapping 2 to 4 cm down the stem (vary the height so some roses sit higher than others), align a wired leaf along the stem.
Continue wrapping the green yarn firmly over both the main stem wire and the leaf wire together.
Wrap down to the end of the wire and secure the yarn tail with a drop of hot glue.
Repeat for all 6 rose vines (3 red and 3 pink).
Part 7: Final Assembly & Styling
Turn the coaster base over so the underside faces up.
Insert the wire stems from the front to the back through the base of the lace edging loops, evenly spacing the 6 roses around the perimeter.
Fold the remaining wire ends flat against the underside of the base.
Apply hot glue generously over the bent wire ends on the back to lock them firmly in place.
Turn the coaster right side up. You can now curve, bend, and position each rose stem upright to cradle a mug or spread them outward to create your personalized blooming rose garden!
