Have you ever thought about crocheting a vase of flowers? Or how about crocheting a whole garden of all your favorite flowers and plants? I mean crochet roses, dahlias, peonies, cattails, ferns, lycoris, lilium, lavender, daisies, ranunculus, and everything else you watch grow outside in summer!
The stitches you will need for most of these crochet flowers include slip stitch, single crochet, chain, half double, double, triple, double triple, and modifications of these, and picot. Generally, for these crochet flowers you’ll use cotton 8 yarn and a B sized crochet hook (1.9mm), and 0.6 mm wire (to keep the plant standing up straight, even the stem!). Some of them also include pearl buttons for the pestels or stamens. They also use green floral tape when making these flowers and plants.
These flowers are available in books – whole sets of pdf patterns, with clear directions and hand-drawn examples, and there’s actually 3 books of 35 flowers each (each e-book sells for 10 pounds and is delivered by email) and it’s all the work of a crocheter named Claudia Giardina. And she also has a crochet aquarium set and a crochet Christmas set, each with 15 patterns, which she has listed for 5 pounds each crochet e-book, listed here. Nice work!
