Materials: 4 ply, medium weight knitting worsted, such as Red Heart Super Saver, Caron, Bernat Berella 4. 1 oz yellow 2 oz White 5 oz. Red 4 oz Green H/5mm crochet hook Gauge: One completed Rose = 5 inches

Abbreviations: Ch (chain) Tr (treble) Sl st (slip stitch) Sc (single crochet) Sk (skip) Dc (double crochet) Sp (space) Rnd (round) Lp (loop) Cluster stitch= cl: There are variations of the cluster stitch but basically it means there is more than one stitch clustered together. As an example: If you were doing a 3 double crochet cluster you would do each double crochet without completing the last step (you would have 2 loops on the hook after the first dc, 3 loops on the hook after the second dc and 4 loops on the hook when all three dcs are completed. You then yarn over and draw through all of the loops. That is what "Clusters" the stitch. A beginning Cluster uses the beg ch-3 as a dc. Rose: Rnd 1: With yellow, ch 5, sl st in first ch to form a ring, ch 5 (counts as first dc and ch 2), dc in ring, * ch 2, dc in ring, repeat from * 3 times more, ch 2, sl st in third st of ch 5 first made, fasten off. (6 spaces) [Note: You can make all ten centers first. Then you can do the rose petals.] Rnd 2: Join red with a sl st in any lp, (sc, 5 dc, sc) in same lp, * (sc, 5 dc, sc) in next lp, repeat from * 4 times, join.
