CROCHET DECORATIVE FLOWERS

Send

Miniature flowers always look very elegant, because the variety of small and bulky details makes any composition light, voluminous, and also incredibly attractive. And a bouquet of delicate white lilies of the valley with contrasting bright red berries is proof of this.

Despite the fact that all the flowers are crocheted, they do not look rough or even completely unnatural. On the contrary, fine knitting once again emphasizes the grace of lilies of the valley, their sophisticated beauty and conveys a special charm of these little flowers.
Creating such a composition is easy. It is enough to have white, yellow, red and green balls of thin yarn, a hook for knitting 2.00 mm, break thin branches for stems and prepare a little copper wire.

We start white flowers in a viscous chain of 9 air loops (v. P), each loop of which we tie with a crochet (st. / B. N). In total, it is necessary to knit 4 rows of tightly planted columns.

We knit the edge of the product (aka 5th row) with arches from the 3rd century. n, closing each chain in the same loop from which it was started.

Then we fold this flower blank in half and tie the sides and tops in pairs with connecting loops. So we get the flowers in the form of bells.

We make red berries from round billets, only they should not be even (or rather flat), by the end, the number of columns should be sharply reduced, so that in the end we get volume balls.

The remaining 4-6 loops are closed together. This will eliminate a smooth transition and the ball will form correctly.

Only one “berry” twig goes from 3 to 5 of these red balls.

We make the same balls on flower branches. Here they will act as buds and decorate their tops.

We will fix both berries and flowers with a wire. First, we slightly wrap the upper end of the branch with green yarn, “put” the first berry / bud on the tip and proceed to its sequential filling.

From below, we pierce each part with a small piece of wire, then twist its two parts together and place it on the desired section of the branch (with a distance of 1-1.5 cm).

At the same time, we continue to "green" both the large branch and all its small connecting stems.

Flowers, unlike berries, do not need to be pierced. For their cores, you need to cut 2-3 strips of yellow yarn, place and fasten between the ends of the wire, and then place inside the flower.

So the flowers can not only attach well to the branch, but also look more natural.
The number of flowers on a branch should be different so that each of them is slightly different in height. Thanks to this, the bouquet looks more natural.
