Crochet Lavender Bouquet Tutorial
Materials Needed:
- Purple weight 3 acrylic yarn
- Sage green acrylic weight 3 yarn
- 3.75 mm crochet hook
- Crafting scissors
- 18 gauge floral wire
- Hot glue or tacky glue
- Wire cutters
Crochet Pattern Steps:
Crochet a Slip Knot & Chain:
- Create a slip knot and chain 48. Make sure to maintain consistent tension throughout.
Double Crochet & Chain:
- Start in the third chain from the hook and work a double crochet.
- Work two more double crochets into the same chain.
- Chain three and then slip stitch into the same chain to create the top of the lavender flower.
First Petal:
- In the next chain: slip stitch, chain six, and slip stitch again into the same chain.
Remaining Petals:
- Repeat the pattern of slip stitch, chain six, and another slip stitch in each chain down the line.
- Ensure you work into the top part of the stitch only to create the curling effect for the petals.
Finishing the Flower:
- After completing the final chain, cut the yarn, leaving a short tail, and pull it through the loop to fasten off.
Create the Stem:
- Wrap the floral wire with sage green yarn using tacky glue to mimic the appearance of a stem.
Assembling the Lavender:
- Begin by securing the top of the flower to the wire with glue.
- Continue gluing and wrapping the created flower around the stem to fill it out.
- Once you reach the end, tie the tail ends and glue to secure.
Adjust the Wire:
- If there is excess wire at the bottom, use wire cutters to trim it to the desired length.
- Make sure the flower is securely glued to prevent it from unraveling.
Finish the Bouquet:
- Repeat the process for additional lavender stems to create a full bouquet.
