I love crochet flowers. But I can not crochet. So, I came up with how to make rosettes with yarn in an easy way. These yarn rosettes resemble crochet flowers. To make yarn rosettes you only need yarn or embroidery floss. The thicker your yarn is the bigger flower you get from a small braid. These are very easy to make and are great for a variety of projects.

Here’s a tutorial to help you learn how to make rosettes with yarn.

HOW TO MAKE ROSETTES?

  • Make a braid with the yarn (or embroidery thread). And roll it into a rosette. You will need to glue at the beginning and the end. You may need glue as you roll if you are making big rosettes. Mine are small for little cute projects.
  • You can make any form of braid. I made a 3 strings braid in the picture below.
  • Once done, dab some glue and place a piece of felt at the bottom of the rosette. This will secure the rosette in place.
  • Leave it to dry and your done.

You can also make a twisted thread rosette. Tie the threads at the beginning point. I used 6 threads per side to make thicker braids. Now twist the two together, and tie at the other end.
