Materials
- Crochet Thread Size #20.
Front
- Steel Crochet Hook Size 1.0mm.
- Tapestry Needle, Floral Tape, Floral Wire.

Pattern notes
The e-book starts with pattern diagram and then the
instructions follows (in American Standard Terms, See
appendix for conversion to British).

Materials Note :
I recommend using a 100% mercerized cotton thread in
Size #20. But, of course, any durable size #20 (or even
#10) thread should work. I’ve used thread from “Venus”
brand, but the more popular Lizbeth brand have size
#20 thread that can be used and should be easier to find
(or any other brand for that matter).

I’ve created a page in my Blog where I updated a list of recommended tested

threads - see here.

When you look for hooks, make sure to check the size of the hook as 1.0mm. For
some reason, for 1.0mm.

* If you have problem finding the material needed, don’t hesitate to contact me and I’ll do
my best to help.

Blossom Instructions #2

flower - starting with the smaller petal, fold it so it goes roughly inside the petal

Step 1 - Start from the smallest Petal, and fold it inside the larger Step 2 - You should get something like this.
one (this forms the head), then surround the head with the other
four petals.

Step 3 - Sew the base of the flower. Step 4 - Pull the thread edges through the base to make it firm
and hide the edges.

Once you finish hiding the thread,

cut it - and your flower should look

Now, its time for the sepals, the se-

pals are simply being crochet to the
base of the blossom, for each petal

Finishing the Blossom

To make the final stem flower we’ll need the blossom, the leaves (or a single leaf),
floral tape and floral wire (thin gauge). Follow the photo guide below to see how
to make the stem flower :

Step 1 - Fold the Floral Wire in the middle. Step 2 - Though the middle of the blossom, stick the two edges of
the wire (each from a different spot), and twist the wire.

Step 3 - After the stick & twist. Step 4 - Use the floral tape to cover the wire and anything else
you might want to cover from the blossom (parts of the base
maybe, up to your preferences).

Once the main stem is done - cut the floral tape and we move to the leaf.

Step 5 - Use a shorter floral wire, and through the tip of the leaf, Step 6 - Pull & Twist.
stick both edges (at different spots)

Finishing the Blossom (#2)

Attach the leaf at the position your prefer, using floral tape - and fold it out a bit
for an open leaf look.

Step 7 - Using Floral Tape, attach the leaf to the main stem. Step 8 - Open the leaf for a fresh look. and you’re done!

You might want to crochet a few of this, and attach a clasp (using floral tape), to
get a lovely brooch / boutonniere :

Or, crochet some more, add to a terra cota pot and make a mini arrangement, or
even more to make a nice Rose Tree!
