Part 1: The Crocheted Roses (Make 5-6)

Inner Petals (Light Pink Yarn):

Ch a foundation chain (e.g., 20-25 ch).
Work sc, hdc, dc, tr stitches along the chain, increasing as you go to create a wavy spiral.
Sl st to finish. Leave a long tail for assembly.

Outer Petals (Red Yarn):

Ch a slightly longer foundation chain (e.g., 30-35 ch).
Repeat the wavy spiral technique using sc, hdc, dc, tr stitches, making the waves slightly larger.
Sl st to finish. Leave a long tail.
Assemble by coiling the pink spiral, then wrapping the red spiral around it, sewing together at the base. Insert floral wire through the base.

Part 2: Variegated Leaves (Make 6-8)

These leaves are crafted with a unique color-changing technique to mimic variegation.

Start with Dark Green yarn, ch 15.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 3 ch, dc in next 3 ch, hdc in next 3 ch, sc in last 2 ch. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Work back along the row. For variegation, switch to Light Green yarn for 2-3 stitches, then Red yarn for 1 stitch, then back to Light Green for 2-3 stitches, then Dark Green for the remainder, creating stripes. Work sc, hdc, dc stitches mirroring Row 1. Add 3 sc in the last stitch to turn the corner. Continue along the other side of the starting chain.
Row 3: Repeat Row 2, ensuring color changes are aligned for a layered variegated effect. Sl st to finish. Attach floral wire to the base.

Part 3: The Hanging Pot and Macrame Detail

Pot Base (Cream/Beige Yarn):

R1: 6 sc in MR [6]
R2: (inc) x 6 [12]
R3: (sc, inc) x 6 [18]

R7 (BLO): sc around [36]
R8-15: sc around (8 rounds) [36]
Sl st, FO. Stuff lightly to maintain shape.

Macrame Hanging Detail (Cream/Beige Yarn):

Cut several long strands of cream yarn (approx. 4-5 times desired hanging length).
Fold strands in half and attach them to the brass ring using a larks head knot. You’ll need 4 groups of 2 strands (8 strands total).
Below the ring, tie square knots (or half hitch knots as seen in the image for the main ropes) to create decorative sections, forming 4 main ropes.
Measure down approx. 6-8 inches, tie a large knot with all 4 ropes together.
Divide into groups of 2 ropes, and make another knot approx. 2-3 inches below the first to create the arms of the hanger.
Gather all ropes together at the bottom and create a decorative tassel.
Attach the crocheted pot by securely sewing or tying it into the net created by the macrame arms. Ensure it sits snugly.

Part 4: Assembly

Arrange your floral wires (from roses and leaves) into a bouquet. Twist them together to form a sturdy stem.
Insert the combined stem into the lightly stuffed pot. Add more stuffing around the base to secure the stem firmly upright.
Adjust the roses and leaves to your desired aesthetic. Bend the floral wires inside to give them natural curves.
Carefully attach the assembled pot and flowers into the crocheted macrame hanger, ensuring it’s balanced and secure. You might need to add a few stitches to secure the pot within the macrame “net.”

And there you have it! A stunning, low-maintenance crochet hanging rose plant that adds charm and beauty to any corner of your home. Enjoy your everlasting blooms!
