Instructions
Flower Stems

- To create the center, you can use a contrasting color.
- Assemble several daisies and attach them to the top of each stem using a slip stitch.
Lavender
- Similar to the daisies, start with a magic ring and create single crochet stitches around the ring.
- For a realistic effect, vary the colors slightly if desired.
- Attach the lavender to the stems by sewing or using a slip stitch.
Leaves
- Begin the leaves in your chosen green yarn.
- Use a combination of half double crochet and single crochet stitches to shape each leaf.
- Attach the leaves to the bouquet by securing them at the base of the flowers.
Assembling the Bouquet
- Gather all the stems, flowers, and lavender together.
- Wrap them tightly at the base with a yarn or cord to create the bouquet shape.
- Using your yarn needle, sew them securely together for added stability.
Hanging Assembly
- Cut a length of the hanging cord.
- Attach the cord to each end of the dowel, then secure the dowel to the top of your bouquet.
- Make sure to leave enough cord for hanging, and tie it to create a loop.
Tips for the Best Result
- Maintain firm tension on each stitch to help the pieces hold their shape better, especially the bouquet stems.
- Consider blocking your flowers after completion for a more polished look.
