This crochet Irish Rose is a popular motif used in Irish Lace crochet. You can use this Irish rose as an applique for various embellishments, you can use it for scrapbooking or card making.
You can also use crochet Irish rose to make unique jewelry. I’ve used such rose to embellish this crochet chain scarf and to make a beautiful card for Mother’s Day.

I LOVE this flower! I made it to add to my jeans embellishments but I think I’m going to make one to put on a hat. It’s just perfect! Thanks for all your beautiful appliques. -Cheryl
I love the flower! Can it be worked into a grant square?
Yes, absolutely! Unfortunately, I don’t have Irish rose square on my blog, but I will think about publishing it at some point.
I will make this. I saw a pattern some where. I think it was worsted weight yarn. But first I am gonna try this. 2 long threads came down below it. With beads on. And then you make a pin out of it. That is what I want to make.
It’s been years since I’ve made an Irish rose. I’ve always had a problem following written patterns and being left handed, just adds to the confusion. I love how easy your instructions are. Thank you so much.
