Crochet Rosebud and Leaf Pattern

These easy crochet rosebud and leaf patterns are perfect for adding a handmade touch to wreaths, hats, bags, and other crochet projects. The pattern includes instructions for both a large and small rosebud, along with a simple crochet leaf.

I used my rosebuds and leaves to embellish this rustic burlap wreath along with the larger flower from my Crochet Rose Pattern. I love how the soft texture of the flowers looks against the natural burlap!

For my wreath, I crocheted the flowers with Cascade 220 wool yarn and felted them after crocheting. Felting gives the flowers a soft, dense texture and also helps them hold their shape.

You can use the rosebuds and leaves just as they are, though, so don’t worry if you don’t want to felt them!

How to Make the Burlap Wreath

To make a simple burlap wreath like mine, you’ll need a wire wreath form and a roll of burlap ribbon. Gather the burlap into loose loops and work it around the wire wreath form, keeping the loops full and close together to create the fluffy, gathered look.

Once the wreath is covered, secure the ends of the burlap to the back of the frame. Arrange your crochet rosebuds, leaves, and large crochet rose where you’d like them, then securely attach them to the burlap or wire frame.

Felting Your Crochet Flowers

If you’d like the same soft, felted look as my flowers, be sure to crochet them with a feltable wool yarn. You can follow my How to Felt Knitting and Crochet tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
