After nearly two weeks of being down with the flu and a sinus infection, I am beyond excited to be back at my crochet projects! It’s amazing how quickly I’ve regained my energy with the help of my daily blend of guinea hen weed and garlic tea, paired with a refreshing dose of Vitamin C from fresh orange juice. On top of that, my favorite fruits—watermelon, pineapple, and ripe bananas—have been the perfect natural remedy to get me feeling back to myself. Sometimes, life can throw us off track, but it’s always so fulfilling to return to the things that bring us joy. For me, that’s crochet.
Now that I’m feeling better, I have been crafting some beautiful crochet roses, which I’m using to accessorize skull caps I created for a special customer. Roses are one of my all-time favorite flowers, and there’s just something about translating that natural beauty into crochet that makes me truly happy. These roses in red, black, and white are not only eye-catching but will add a unique, personal touch to the skull caps. I can’t wait to see the final result!

Crochet Roses to Accessorize Skull Caps
Crochet roses can be a fantastic way to elevate an accessory, and that’s exactly what I had in mind when I decided to make these roses to accompany a skull cap order. The combination of intricate crochet work and the bold design of the roses creates a statement piece that’s both stylish and timeless.
There’s something special about incorporating flowers into crochet—it’s a way of infusing nature’s beauty into something we can cherish for years. The rich reds, the contrast of the black, and the purity of the white in these roses came together almost as I envisioned. They’re bold, they’re vibrant, and they’re going to add that perfect touch to the skull cap.
As I crafted each petal, I found myself smiling as I remembered how much I love roses—both the real ones in my garden and the ones I get to make through crochet. It’s a reminder of how nature’s simple beauty can be interpreted in so many creative ways.
The Road to the Perfect Crochet Roses
While I thoroughly enjoyed the process of crocheting these roses, I will admit that perfectionism did try to get the best of me. I spent more time than I intended redoing the petals and adjusting the placement of each stitch to get them just right. It’s funny how we can be our own harshest critics—there were moments when I felt like they weren’t perfect, and I found myself reworking them again and again. I realize that this is a recurring theme in my crochet journey: I always strive for perfection, even if it means taking more time than necessary.
But here’s the thing—I have learned that perfection doesn’t always have to be the goal. It’s okay if things aren’t flawless. The process of making these roses has been incredibly satisfying, and I’m proud of what I have created. I even shared this thought on Instagram recently, where I spoke about how perfectionism can be a major time-suck. If you want to dive deeper into that conversation, you can check out my Instagram post here.
Though I am satisfied with these roses, I know I will keep practicing. After all, crochet is a journey, and every piece is an opportunity to improve. I may have seen better, but these roses hold a special place in my heart because they reflect my growth, both as a crochet artist and as a person learning to embrace imperfection.
Crochet Roses Made with Care and the Right Materials
If you are ready to craft your crochet roses, it’s important to use the right materials to achieve the look you want. For me, the neatness and consistency of Aunt Lydia’s size 10 crochet thread are essential. This particular thread works wonders for intricate designs like roses, giving each petal a smooth, crisp finish.
One of the reasons I love using Aunt Lydia’s size 10 thread is that it’s easy to work with, and it provides just the right amount of structure to your roses. You can experiment with different yarn types and sizes, but if you’re after a refined look and feel, this thread is a great choice.
Plus, if you’re interested in using the same supplies I do, here is the link to my Amazon Storefront where you can find Aunt Lydia’s threads and other crochet materials that I swear by. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases—so it’s a great way to get the supplies you need while supporting my craft.
No matter your crochet project, whether it’s roses or any other flower, using quality materials is key to achieving professional-looking results.
