This creates the lavender’s delicate flower structure.
How to Crochet a Leaf (Make 1)
Start with a Chain (Ch 30): Create a foundation chain of 30 stitches.
Add Wire: After chaining, you’ll incorporate the 0.5mm iron wire into your work. This wire will provide structure to your leaf.
Leaf Shape: Begin crocheting by making a single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook.
Next, make 2 half double crochets (2 hdc).
Continue with 23 double crochets (23 dc) across the next 23 stitches.
Then, make 2 more hdc.
At the tip of the leaf, create a small stitch by making (sc, ch 1, sc) into the same stitch.
On the other side of the chain, repeat the pattern: 2 hdc, 23 dc, 2 hdc, and 1 sc.
Slip stitch (sl) to secure, then fasten off.

Crochet Lavender Assembly
Now that you have crocheted your flower and leaf, it’s time to assemble them!
Attach the Flower to the Stem:
Use your hot melt adhesive to secure the top of the crocheted lavender flower to the flower rod (the stem).
Wrap the Flower Around the Stem:
Gently wrap the flower around the stem, twisting it as you move downward until it’s securely in place.
Wrap the Stem with Yarn:
Take your green yarn and begin wrapping it around the rod, starting from where the flower ends.
As you wrap, incorporate the crocheted leaf, placing it at the desired position on the stem. Continue wrapping the yarn around the stem until you reach the bottom.
Secure the Bottom:
Apply a small amount of glue at the base of the stem to keep everything tightly in place.
