Tutorial: How to Crochet Miniature Long Stem Lavenders

In this tutorial, Natasha will guide you through the process of crocheting beautiful miniature long stem lavenders. These intricate flowers require intermediate crochet skills and familiarity with fine thread and crochet hooks. Don't worry if you're new to this level; Natasha's detailed instructions and clear demonstrations will make it easy for you to follow along and create your own miniature lavenders.

Materials Needed

Before we begin crocheting, let's gather the materials required for this project. To create these miniature long stem lavenders, you will need:

• Three different shades of purple crochet thread
• Green thread for the leaves
• Floral tape
• 0.75 mm crochet hook
• Sharp pair of scissors
• Floral wire (or thin bamboo skewer) for the stem
• Pointed tweezers for precision work
• Good quality fabric glue or white glue

Make sure the colors of the floral tape and thread complement each other to ensure a seamless finish.

Making the Lavender Flower Head

To start, create a slip knot and make a chain of six stitches. Then, make a slip stitch in the sixth chain from the hook. This forms the first petal. Repeat this pattern, making six chains and a slip stitch in the sixth chain, for a total of 25 petals. Once all the petals are complete, cut off the thread, leaving a 4-5 inch tail. Since the thread ends will be concealed during assembly, there's no need to weave them in.

Creating the Leaves

Using dark green thread, start by creating a slip knot. Make seven chains, and then work on the leaf pattern. Begin by making a slip stitch in the first chain, followed by a single crochet, a half double crochet, two double crochets, and another half double crochet. For the second leaf, repeat the same steps. Once the leaf patterns are complete, secure the ends by tying square knots and cut off the thread.

Assembly of the Flower

To assemble the lavender flower, wrap floral tape around the floral wire diagonally, ensuring a tight grip. Activate the glue in the tape by stretching it and apply it firmly onto the wire. Leave a small portion of the wire exposed. Apply a dab of fabric glue at the top of the wire and start attaching the flower head. Wrap the thread tightly around the wire, applying glue as you go down. Keep the petals asymmetrical for a natural look. Once you reach the end, apply some glue and wrap the thread tail tightly. Cut off any excess thread.

Hiding the Purple Thread at the Base

To prevent the purple thread from showing between the leaves, wrap the dark green thread around the base of the flower. Keep the wrapping thin and consistent to hide the purple thread effectively. After securing the dark green thread, glue the leaves at the base of the flower and let them dry properly.

Ideas for Using Miniature Lavender Flowers

Now that you've mastered the art of crocheting miniature long stem lavenders, the possibilities of using these delicate flowers are endless. Create an assortment of lavender flowers using different shades of purple, pink, and white, and make a beautiful bouquet. Alternatively, you can attach a pin to a few flowers and create elegant wedding boutonnieres or brooch pins. Let your imagination run wild and incorporate these miniature flowers into your desired projects.
