  2. Hook:
    • 2.5 mm crochet hook

  4. Accessories:
    • Scissors
    • Tapestry needle
    • Craft glue
    • Pliers for cutting and shaping the wire
    • Clothespins to hold items in place while the glue dries

Special Techniques Used:

  • Chain Stitch (ch): Creates the foundation of many crochet projects.
  • Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join the elements or finish off parts of the project.
  • Single Crochet (sc): A short, compact stitch perfect for making tight, small details.
  • Picot Stitch: Used to create tiny decorative loops resembling lavender flowers.

Lavender Flower Stem Instructions:

Step 1: Creating the Foundation Chain

  1. Start with a slip knot on your hook.
  2. Work 51 chains (ch 51).

Step 2: Adding Picot Flowers

  1. Skip the first chain closest to the hook, and insert your hook into the second chain.
  2. Work a single crochet (sc).
  3. Create a picot stitch by chaining 6 chains (ch 6).
  4. Insert your hook back through the base of the sc you just made and work another single crochet (sc) to secure the picot.This forms the first tiny "flower" on your lavender strand.

Step 3: Preparing the Wire Stem

  1. Cut a piece of floral wire to 34 cm (13.4 inches). If the wire is thinner than you would like, cut two identical pieces and twist them together for added strength.

  2. Apply a small amount of craft glue at one end of the wire for extra grip.
  3. Take green yarn and begin wrapping it tightly around the wire from top to bottom. Keep the wraps close together to ensure full coverage of the wire.
  4. At the bottom, add another dab of glue to secure the yarn in place, then trim the excess yarn.

Step 4: Attaching the Lavender Piece to the Wire

  1. Place the crocheted lavender strand at the top of the wrapped wire (the side where you started wrapping).
  2. Apply a small amount of craft glue to the top part of the wire and secure the beginning of the lavender strand to it.
  3. Wrap the lavender strand spirally around the wire, moving downward. Add dabs of glue as needed to keep the lavender firmly attached.
  4. Once you reach the end of the strand, secure it with a clothespin to hold it in place until the glue dries completely.

Leaf Instructions:

Step 1: Making the Base of the Leaf

  1. Create a slip knot and chain 16 chains (ch 16).

Step 2: Crocheting the First Side

  1. Skip the first chain, and work a half double crochet (hdc) into the second chain.
  2. Work a half double crochet into each remaining chain across.

Step 3: Turning and Working on the Other Side

  1. At the end of the row, chain 2 to turn.
  2. Continue down the other side of the chain, working half double crochet (hdc) stitches into the foundation row.
  3. Once you've made a full circle around the foundation chain, secure the final stitch with a slip stitch into the beginning stitch.

Step 4: Adding a Ridge for Realism

  1. To give the leaf a more defined structure, make a row of slip stitches down the center of the leaf. Insert your hook into the back loops along the leaf stem and work slip stitches from one tip to the other.

Step 5: Finishing the Leaf

  1. Fasten off the yarn, weave in the ends with a tapestry needle, and secure with a small dab of glue if necessary.
  2. Repeat the above steps to create additional leaves. Each lavender stem needs two leaves.

Final Assembly:

  1. Attach the leaves to the wire. Start just below the lavender flowers and secure the leaves with glue, spacing them about 2 to 3 cm apart along the stem. Use a clothespin to hold each leaf in place until the glue sets.
