Materials:

• Threads: Portugal-brand 4-ply 100% cotton threads (equivalent to Lydia No. 3), available in mixed or solid colors.
• Hook Sizes: A 2.7mm crochet hook (optional: 3mm for looser stitches or larger projects).
• Other Supplies: Scissors, a smaller hook for tucking loose ends, and cotton thread (optional for tying).
• Optional: Ribbons or jars for finishing touches.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Start with the Center Doily

1. Magic Circle: Begin with a magic circle or chain 5-6 stitches to create a secure loop.
   Save
2. Row 1: Crochet 12 double crochets into the circle, pulling the string tight and joining with a slip stitch.
3. Row 2: Increase by crocheting 2 double crochets in each stitch from the previous row, creating a total of 24 double crochets.
4. Row 3: Introduce spacing:
   • Start with a single crochet, followed by two chain stitches.
   • Skip 1 stitch and crochet 2 double crochets into the next stitch. Repeat until you have 12 groups of double crochets separated by chain spaces.
     Tip: Rows may curl or fold slightly, but this will straighten as the pattern progresses.
5. Rows 4+: Build height by repeating the process:
   • Increase at the last stitch of each segment by crocheting 2 double crochets in the same place.
   • Add chain spaces between groups (increase chain count for larger bouquets).
     Save
     
     Continue until the desired height or stem length, generally 10–16 rows.

Step 2: Create a Base with Green “V” Shells

1. Switch to lime green thread (or color of choice for leaves). Attach with a slip knot.
2. Crochet groups of “V-shells” in green as follows:
   • In each stitch, crochet two incomplete double crochets, finishing with a chain 2 and securing.
   • Skip 2 stitches, then repeat the pattern to form shell-like leaves.
   • Adjust spacing to ensure uniformity or allow for more shells depending on your preference.

Step 3: Crochet the Rosebuds

1. Switch to your rose-colored thread (e.g., royal blue, red, or any vibrant shade).
2. Foundation:
   • In each green “V-shell,” start with a single crochet followed by a chain of 6.
   • Work inside the loop of the 4th chain from your hook.
3. Rosebud Formation:
   • Crochet five double crochets into the identified stitch.
   • Repeat in the next two stitches within the loop.
4. Complete the Bud:
   • Roll the segment tightly to form a rosebud.
     Save
   • Secure by slip stitching into the base and continuing onto the next “V-shell.”
   • Repeat this process for all V-shells to create individual rosebuds.

Step 4: Assemble the Bouquet

1. Gather the completed piece into a bouquet, rolling the doily and compressing the rosebuds for fullness.
2. Optional: Add a decorative touch with a chained ribbon or real ribbon.
3. Adjust and position the bouquet into jars, baskets, or vases—or simply use the doily as a flat table centerpiece.
