2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) across.

🌹 Step 2: Forming the Rose Shape

1. Begin rolling the crocheted strip into a spiral from one end.
2. Adjust and position the layers as you roll to shape the petals naturally.
3. Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to stitch through the base, securing the spiral tightly in place.
4. Alternatively, use hot glue along the bottom edge while rolling for faster assembly.
