Abbreviations
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
Flower Instructions
Flower Petals:
- Make a magic ring (or ch 4 and join to form a ring).
- Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as a dc), then 11 dc into the ring. Join with a sl st to the top of the ch 3 (total 12 dc).
- Round 2: Ch 1, *(sc in the next st, ch 2, dc in the next st)* repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st (total of 12 petals).
- Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing the petals together.
Assembly:
- Use the long tail to gently gather the top of the flower petals together and secure. Adjust the petals for a natural look.
- With green yarn, ch 20 for the stem, and fasten off.
- Insert the florist wire into the center of the petals, then wrap the wire with the green ch to create a stem. You can attach the petals more securely by sewing with your yarn needle.
Finishing:
Weave in all ends using your yarn needle. Optionally, you can lightly steam the petals to shape them (make sure not to get the thread too hot). Display your lavender flowers in a small vase or tie them in a bunch for gifting.
Optional Variations:
Experiment with different colors for the petals, or add beads at the end of each petal for a touch of sparkle. You can also create larger bouquets by making more flowers.
