I knitted this item as a gift, slightly changing the original.
There were a lot of questions about knitting in the discussion here, so I want to help a little for those who don’t know which way to approach this cute little thing.
So, the original: the 2005 magazine in Japanese (the entire magazine is available)
color option:
Single color option: 
Scheme - sheet 1 
Scheme - sheet 2 
Scheme - sheet 3 
My threads: I bought 50g (200m) skeins of dark green, light green, yellow and orange, Cable`5 cotton from Mondial. (Of course, I bought more, there’s also lilac, pink, white and red, well, that’s my problem). There was enough of everything, and there was still more left. Great for recycling leftovers.
We start with the diagram on sheet 1 - a round base. On three circular rows there are marks above the double crochets in the form of triangles, and at the bottom of the same sheet on the right there are knitting patterns. These are chains of air loops and connecting posts - the basis for future leaves - they are knitted IMMEDIATELY, together with the base of the rug. Unfortunately, I didn’t photograph the whole process then; there is a photo with leaves. This dark vein near the leaf is these chains. Of course, at first they will all curl up like funny worms, but that doesn’t matter at all. Once we finish knitting the base, we move on to the leaves - diagram 2. They are of three different sizes, the leaves increase in size from the center to the edges.

We tied it up, put it aside, and knitted roses. Scheme 2. Having turned this diagram in my hands, I decided for myself that this was not for me. Well, I couldn’t... I knitted a completely simple version of roses using this completely ordinary pattern:
One large one, a little smaller and small ones. The size was selected by eye, knitting a sample once and counting which ones I needed. These roses are simply twisted and sewn - I sewed them to the base, focusing on the layout according to the picture and the layout on the third sheet. I secured them in several places on the base, and tucked the tails of the threads inward.
Million, million, million...knitted roses– I slightly paraphrased the famous song, because today I want to talk about crocheting one very interesting crocheted rug made of roses , the idea of which I found from the same Japanese craftswomen, and about knitted roses.
Crochet rose rug
Good afternoon
Recently, the topic of rugs has become perhaps the most popular on my blog, although many people like to knit napkins and tablecloths. I also really like making different decorative pillows.
What is my favorite topic, do you think? 
Of course - roses. And I don’t even mean knitted roses now. And real living roses, which are so beautiful that they cannot leave anyone indifferent.
My first article on this blog is dedicated to, then I made a photo gallery of my rose garden.
When I saw this gorgeous rug with roses, I immediately wanted to knit one.
Despite the fact that I have been knitting for a very long time, many years, but still did not know how to knit roses, somehow such a need did not arise.
I found one pattern of a crocheted rose in my bins, the other in a group of Irish lace.
Knitting roses turned out to be quite simple.
Knitting roses pattern 1
According to the first pattern, we leave a long thread at the beginning of knitting and cast on a chain of 48 air loops.
First row: we skip four loops and knit double crochets, on the last loop - a single crochet.
Second row: 3 ch for lifting, 3 double crochets in each base loop. Cut the thread, leaving a long end.
The result is a wavy stripe.
Iron the wavy edge, stretching it.
We roll the strip into a spiral, starting from the bottom edge counterclockwise.
We thread the thread from the bottom edge into the needle and grab the edges of the rose.
We thread the thread from the top edge into the needle, pull it through the center of the rose and fasten it from the wrong side.
It turns out a beautiful blooming knitted rose.
Knitting rose pattern 2
According to the second pattern, we knit a rose in a similar way, but it turns out even more beautiful due to the fact that each petal is formed.
- We collect a chain of 75 VP.
- First row: we skip one loop, two single crochets in two loops of the chain, in the next loop - a single crochet and a double crochet, two double crochets in the next four loops of the chain, then we alternate one double crochet and two double crochet stitch.
- In second row we knit the petals: single crochet, 2 double crochets, 1 double crochet, 4 times two double crochets, 1 double crochet, 2 double crochets.
- We twist the knitted wavy strip in a spiral into a rosette.
A million is not a million, but we need to make several knitted roses according to any of the patterns.
We will place the roses on our future rose rug. And this activity is very exciting.
Roses still need to be connected leaves:
For the leaves, we cast on seven air loops and first knit on one side a single crochet, a double crochet, three double crochets, a double crochet, five single crochets from one loop of the chain,
rotate the knitting: double crochet, three double crochets, double crochet, single crochet.
You can knit longer leaves using the same principle. 
Forming a mat of roses
For the rug, we knit a round base according to the pattern with double crochets, and we tie the last row.
We sew on the base, beautifully arranging large and small knitted roses and leaves.
So wonderful crocheted rose rugs I've never seen different colors before. But I don’t know how they can be used: it’s probably impossible to sit and stand on them.
Rose is the queen of the flower world. All festive events are decorated with this plant. But the disadvantage of roses is the fragility of flowering. Both in the ground and when cut, it quickly fades.
Queen of Flowers
Roses made with your own hands are a different matter. A crocheted rose will be an interesting decoration for clothes, hair or interior. One of the uses of crocheted roses is to make them carpet. Such an item will not leave guests indifferent and will become a stylish accent in the interior.

Development of the rug and mounting of roses
Having knitted the required number of roses, they proceed to assembling them into the clearing.
- Use any fabric as the base of the mat; it is better to use cotton material.
- Depending on taste, the canvas is decorated with roses, combining them in shape, size and color.
- Knitted roses begin to be attached from the edge of the canvas or from the middle.
- In order for a knitted product to last longer while maintaining its original appearance, it is recommended to select yarn from synthetic fibers. The most popular type of such yarn is acrylic. Cotton yarn is no less popular. But the disadvantage of cotton products is low thermal insulation.
- For crocheting, it is better to select thick threads, which will make it possible to weave a thick and dense fabric that perfectly retains heat.
Main! When using thick threads, it is best to use hooks No. 5 and 8.
- To knit flowers, different knitting patterns are used, the main thing is to have a good imagination.
- To carpet did not differ much from the same background, it is possible to decorate another interior component in a similar way, for example, an ottoman.
Carpet, made from crocheted roses, this is the embodiment of its owner’s fantasy into reality.

A crocheted rug made from roses will decorate the interior of your home and create spring warmth and comfort, which is so lacking in the cold winter season. A knitted rug also has an advantage - lovers of crocheting will be able to use all the leftover yarn that has collected after knitting large items. To create a crocheted rug, you can use a variety of shades of wool yarn; the brighter the yarn, the juicier the rug will be, reminiscent of a flower meadow)
Our rug is made from these crocheted roses. The basis of the mat can be a plastic mesh or fabric - felt, cloth, burlap, and so on. If you use fabric as a base, then the roses need to be sewn on; if you use mesh, the roses are simply tied with their own threads.
To crochet a rug of roses, you can use any crochet pattern for flowers, at least this one:
We begin the work by knitting a chain of chain stitches, then knit the first row with double crochets and chain stitches. See diagram above.
The third row of rosettes is also knitted with single crochets and chain stitches according to the pattern.
The last fourth row of the rosette is crocheted with double crochets - 10 stitches each.
Having connected all the rows, we twist the motif into a rosette.
Here is such a beautiful crochet rose you can get for a handmade rug:
You can use other roses to knit the rug if you like a different pattern.
