Crochet Rose Bouquet - Twelve Handmade Roses in a Paper Sleeve

This crochet rose bouquet is twelve layered cotton roses, wrapped in a paper sleeve and tied, ready to hand over as it arrives. It stands about 32 cm tall and each head is rolled from a long shaped strip, so the petals spiral the way a real rose does. It is bought most often for an anniversary, a wedding day or Valentine's Day.

How the roses are made

1. The strip. Every rose starts as a long crocheted strip that widens along its length, which gives the outer petals their size.
2. The roll. The strip is rolled from the narrow end and stitched as it goes, so the spiral holds without any glue.
3. The stem. A wrapped stem is sewn into the base and a calyx is worked over the join to hide it.
4. The wrap. Twelve stems are gathered, sleeved in paper and tied.

Who buys a crochet rose bouquet

Most orders come from people who have given fresh roses before and want the same gesture to stay on the shelf. A crochet rose bouquet works for that because it does not need water, does not drop petals and can be dusted off a year later. Couples living apart order it often, since it posts safely and does not wilt on a doorstep.

The yarn choice matters more than the colour. Cotton gives a slightly matt petal with a clear edge, which keeps the spiral readable from across a room. A fluffier yarn blurs that line, so we stay with cotton for the heads. Other gift pieces are gathered in the newest handmade arrivals.

Made to order and shipped worldwide

Nothing is made in advance, so allow 7-12 working days of making time before the parcel leaves us. Every order is tracked, and the shipping information page has the full detail.

Care

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap, press the water out with a towel, reshape while damp and leave it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not wring it and do not tumble dry it. Our amigurumi care guide goes through the same steps in more detail.
