How To Crochet Lavender Flower Bouquet
Materials Needed:
- Lavender purple yarn
- Light green yarn (for the stem)
- 3 mm crochet hook (or any size you have if you're a beginner)
- Floral wire (plastic coated)
- Hot glue gun or fabric glue
- Scissors
Pattern Steps:
- Starting Chain:
- Create a slip knot and place it on the crochet hook.
- Chain 48 stitches.
- Creating Petals:
- Chain 1 more stitch to help turn your work.
- Insert the hook into the second chain from the hook and make a slip stitch.
- Chain 6.
- Insert the hook back into the same stitch where you just made the slip stitch.
- Pull the yarn through and make another slip stitch.
- Repeat: Move to the next chain, slip stitch, chain 6, insert back into the same stitch, pull yarn through, make a slip stitch.
- Continue this process all the way down the chain to form the petals.
- Completing the Lavender Strip:
- Once you reach the end of the chain, chain 1 and cut the yarn, leaving a small tail.
- Tie a knot to secure the end.
- Preparing the Stem:
- Start by applying a small amount of hot glue to the tip of the floral wire.
- Place the end of your green yarn onto the glue and hold it for a few seconds until it sets.
- Wind the yarn around the floral wire, adding glue as you go to keep it secure.
- Continue wrapping all the way down the wire until it's completely covered.
- Attaching the Lavender Strip to the Stem:
- Start at the top of your stem (the end where you began wrapping the green yarn).
- Find the end of your lavender strip.
- Apply a small amount of glue and attach the end of the strip to the top of the stem.
- Wind the lavender strip around the stem, ensuring you glue the foundation chain (not the petals) to the stem.
- Continue wrapping and gluing the strip down the length of the stem.
- Finishing Touches:
- After the lavender strip is attached and secure, you can trim any excess yarn.
- Make sure the petals are spread evenly along the stem.
And that's it! You have now created a lovely crochet lavender flower. Repeat the process to create more pieces and form a beautiful bouquet.
