🌿 Crocheting lavender is a simple pattern created by another YouTuber, involving chains and double crochets, using a 3.75 millimeter hook and a weight 3 yarn.

💜 To give the lavender a realistic look, use different shades of purple and make about four per bouquet.

🧶 Starting with a slip knot and a chain of 58 gives a good length for the lavender when attaching it to a stem, but adjustments can be made for shorter or longer stems.

🧵 The lavender pattern requires double crochets into the third stitch from the hook, followed by chains and slip stitches, done repetitively down the chain to create ruffles.

🌷 The tulip pattern starts with a magic ring and uses a series of single crochets and increase stitches across multiple rounds, with the first three establishing the base before 13 rounds of single crochets for the tulip shape.

👩‍🏫 For beginners, the magic ring might be intimidating, but it's the starting point of the tulip pattern and it involves wrapping yarn around fingers, crossing it over to form an X, and using the hook to pull yarn through and create chains.

✂️ To create the shapes and fullness of flowers like the tulip and poppy, the patterns conclude with sewing the top closed and stuffing, requiring a darning needle, polyfill, and yarn for wrapping around the wire stems.

🥀 The white poppy flower pattern differs by starting with a long chain followed by single crochets and chain spaces down the row, then using gaps created to add half double crochets, slip stitches, and chains to create fuller petals.

🎨 The flowers are assembled with 18 gauge floral wire as stems, which can be decorated with yarn and a strong tacky glue.

🎁 Finished crocheted flowers are arranged into bouquets, wrapped using brown paper, tissue paper, twine or yarn, integrating folding techniques and adjustments for presentation.

How do you make the lavender "ruffles"?

After doing the initial chains, you make the ruffles by doing slip stitches and double crochets into the same stitch, chaining two, and then repeating this pattern all the way down the length of the chain.
