How to Crochet the Perfect Lavender Flower

Crocheting flowers can be a fun and creative way to add a touch of nature to your crochet projects. In this tutorial, I will show you how to crochet the perfect lavender flower, complete with a stem and leaves. This flower is not only adorable but also versatile, making it a great addition to trendy bouquets or even crochet wreaths.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project. You will need:

• Green and purple yarn (any type will do)
• 5mm crochet hook
• Small pair of scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Hot glue
• Floral wire or sticks (2mm thick)

Crocheting the Lavender Flower

To start, we will crochet the lavender flower itself. Begin by chaining as many stitches as you desire, depending on the length of your lavender. The longer the chain, the longer the lavender will be. For reference, I am chaining 40 stitches, resulting in a lavender length of 11.5 centimeters.

Next, skip three chains and work three double crochets into the fourth chain. Then, chain two and slip stitch into the same chain to create the top of the lavender. From here, single crochet into the following chain and repeat the process of chaining six and slip stitching into the same chain. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of your chain.

Once completed, chain one and cut the yarn, leaving a small tail for weaving in. Secure the ends with a double knot and weave them in using a tapestry needle.

Crafting the Leaves

Now it's time to add the leaves to our lavender flower. Begin by making a magic ring and chain six. Working down the chain, single crochet into the second chain, half double crochet into the next, double crochet into the following, half double crochet into the next, and single crochet into the last chain. Slip stitch into the ring to close the leaf.

Repeat this process until you have as many leaves as you desire. For this tutorial, I will be using two leaves, but feel free to add more if you prefer. Finish each leaf by chaining one, cutting the yarn, and securing it with a knot.

Attaching the Lavender to the Wire

To create the stem of the lavender flower, cut a piece of floral wire to your desired length. I am using a 32 centimeter wire, but you can customize it to your preference. Insert one end of the wire into the bottom stitch of the top lavender shell and fold it around the stitch, securing it with a twist.

Now, wrap the lavender around the wire, starting at the top. Use hot glue to secure the top of the lavender, folding it neatly. Continue wrapping the lavender down the wire, ensuring it stays in place. Glue the bottom of the lavender to the wire, making sure to cover it completely.

Wrapping the Wire with Yarn

To add a finishing touch to our lavender flower, we will wrap the wire with yarn. Choose the same yarn used for the leaves and cut a piece. Apply a small amount of hot glue to the end of the yarn and glue it to the wire, then start wrapping the yarn around the wire.

Continue wrapping the yarn all the way down the wire until the wire is no longer visible. Secure the end of the yarn with a final dot of hot glue and cut off any excess yarn. Make sure the glue is dried before cutting off the yarn.

Congratulations! Your crochet lavender flower is now complete. Admire its beauty and decide how you want to showcase it. Whether you use it to make a trendy crochet bouquet or incorporate it into a crochet wreath, this lavender flower is sure to add a touch of charm to your projects.
