This beautiful crochet rose with leaves and buds appears to be a decorative piece that can be used as an applique, keychain, or embellishment. Here’s a basic step-by-step guide on how to make a similar piece:

1. Center Circle (Dark Pink):
- Round 1: Magic ring, ch 1, make 12 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Join with slip stitch (sl st).
- Round 2: In each dc, make 2 dc (increasing round). You should have 24 dc total. Join.
2. Inner Petals (Light Pink):
- Round 3: Ch 2, dc in next stitch, ch 2, sl st in next stitch, repeat around to form petal loops.
- Round 4: In each loop: (sl st, ch 1, 2 dc, ch 1, sl st) — repeat in each loop to form petals.
3. Outer Petals (Same Light Pink):
- Working behind the previous round: repeat the loop-petal process, but make petals slightly larger:
- (sl st, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st) in each back loop space.
