Roses are red, violets are blue – I love this easy crochet pattern, and so will you! If you’re looking for a fun, easy Valentine’s Day project that is also a great stash buster, then look no further! These beautiful, textured, three-dimensional rose granny squares would look lovely as a blanket, pillow, scarf, tote bag, or just about anything else – so feel free to get creative!

Making three-dimensional roses is such a beautiful and rewarding craft endeavor! If you love floral crochet, then making these roses will be a lot of fun. Also, if you’re looking for other floral crochet patterns, be sure to check out my Sunflower Granny Square, Cherry Blossom Hat, and Cherry Blossom Scarf! I plan on bringing more floral crochet patterns to my blog in the near future, too. With spring around the corner, I’m very inspired!

Pin it for later!

Speaking of springtime, these roses aren’t just for Valentine’s Day! The white, cream, and pink colors in particular have a light, fresh spring vibe. So there’s no need to limit your roses to just one time of year! They’d be a gorgeous addition to any blanket, pillow, etc. regardless of the season.

If you’ve read my blog before, then you know I’m a big fan of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice for a variety of projects! It has a soft but durable texture and comes in a palette of beautiful colors. For this project, I chose White (on Amazon HERE), Fisherman (on Amazon HERE), Linen (on Amazon HERE), Pink (on Amazon HERE) and Scarlet (on Amazon HERE). These are quintessential Valentine’s Day colors, and also really bring out the beauty in these 3D rose squares!
