Crochet Flowers and Vases series - SERENITY with Lavender

Hello again..!

Today, the pattern series that I have been working for almost 3 months is finally ready.

I really pour my heart along with every details of the project. It’s not about the complexity of the pattern but more about how I see the beauties in each of the item. I really enjoy the process in making it and the result is truly satisfying. I hope this bring joy to y’all too.

Coming first will be the SERENITY VASE with LAVENDER FLOWERS.

Now, lets get started shall we?

SERENITY VASE

Note : towards the end of each round we joined the round with sl st in the 1st ch of the round, then ch1.

Use brown yarn, ch2

Round 1 : 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook (8)

Round 2 : 2 sc in each st around (16)

Round 3 : [sc in next st, 2 sc in next st] repeat 8 times until end of round (24)

Round 4 : [sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat 8 times until end of round (32)

Round 5 : [sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st] repeat 8 times until end of round (40)

Round 6 : [sc in next 4 sts, 3 sc in next st] repeat 8 times until end of round (48)

Round 7 : BPsc in each st around (48)

Round 8 : sc in each st around (48)

At this point, I paused and put on some hot glue to harden the bottom part of the vase.

Round 9-20 : sc in each st around (48)

Here too, I paused and put some hot glue to harden the side of the vase. You’ll want to make sure the side is neat before applying the hot glue cause when it gets dry the shape will stay (any imperfection will be permanent, but don’t stress out too much about it. Crochet is about having fun after all). Always remember to be careful and take it slowly when using glue gun tools so there won’t be any injuries.

Round 21 : BPsc in each st around (48)

Round 22 : [sc in next 4 sts, sc2tog] repeat 8 times until end of round (48)

Round 23 : [sc in next 3 sts, sc2tog] repeat 8 times until end of round (32)

Moving to the neck part

Round 24 : FPsc in each st around (24)

Round 25-27 : sc in each st around (24)

Round 28 : sl st in each st around (24)

Cut off yarn and sew in ends.

Lastly, put on some hot glue again to harden the neck of the vase.

LAVENDER FLOWER

Petals

Note: Working in row

Use green yarn, ch30

Switch into purple yarn then ch2-dc-ch2-sl st-ch2 (in the same st) ,then [dc-ch2-sl st-ch2] in the next st. Keep the repetition of [ ] until the end of ch. Should have 30 small purple petals.

Stem

Note : Now work in round

Use green yarn

Round 1 : start from the wrong side of the petals in the 3rd chain, 2 sc in same st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st (5). Do not join rounds

Right side

Wrong side

Round 2-20 : sc in each st around (5)

Now you can cut off yarn and sew in ends

Assembly

Prepare the hot glue gun

Glue the petals in rounds with the wrong side facing out.

Insert stick (I use bamboo stick this time) to the stem if you prefer more sturdy stem like I do.

Note: The flower may not be exactly the same as the real lavender but this is my version of creating a lavender look-alike flowers. You can make as many flowers as you like. I make 7 flowers to fill one pot and I’m sure you can fill it up to 10 flowers.

The design of this pattern series was quite different from my previous one (check out the Mini Cherry Blossom Tree crochet pattern). I create both item separately so the flowers can be detachable and you can change the arrangements or combining it with other flowers (coming up in the future post). I already have 2 sets of different flower colors and they look so pretty on my desk.

I will be so delightful to see your version of lavender turns out using my pattern. Please feel free to tag me on instagram @pivoinehandcraft so I won’t missed out your post or you can directly send message to me if you got any problems with the pattern. Hope you enjoy the pattern and the end product of this pattern as much as I do. As always, Thank You and Happy Crocheting!!
