HERE'S HOW:

Leaving a 20cm length for sewing together at the end, create a chain of 57.

Row 1 (Wrong side): (Dc, ch 2, dc) in sixth ch from hook (5 skipped chs count as first dc plus ch 2),*ch 2, skip next 2 chs, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next ch; repeat from * across: 36 sps.

Row 2: Ch 3, turn; 5 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp, (6 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp) 5times, (9 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-2 sp) 5 times, (12 dc in next ch-2 sp, sc in next sp) 7 times.

Finish off by leaving a 20cm length for sewing together.

Thread an embroidery needle with wool from beginning chain. With right side facing and beginning with first petal made, roll to make the rose shape; sew to secure as you roll. Then thread needle with ending piece and sew to secure.

Repeat the above steps in the colours you want for your rug to make as many roses as you need.
