We’re going to create a crocheted hydrangea today. The Hydrangea plant, with its bouquet of clusters blooms in dusty pinks, blues, lilacs, and white, is a traditional component of any traditional country English garden. Even though I lived in the heart of Manchester, visitors would frequently pause at my grandmother’s gate to admire the beautiful flowers in her garden. In honor of my grandmother, I will one day carry on this custom and have a plant of my own in our small garden, but in the meanwhile, I shall savor wearing my lovely crocheted hydrangea brooch.
As many of us spend the upcoming days and weeks at home, this is the seventh pattern in a series of FREE CROCHET FLOWER patterns I have and will be sharing with you.
My straightforward, step-by-step written photo instruction for my free crochet hydrangea flower pattern is provided below. If you’d rather watch a video tutorial, I have created one for YouTube.
Materials
- I would advise making 10–20 blooms per stem out of 2 meters of blue yarn (or any other yarn from your stash).
- matching your yarn and crochet hook
- knit needle
- Scissors
- per flower, 20cm florist wire
- Knife-edge pliers
No gauge. Tight stitches made with your chosen yarn and the smallest crochet hook possible will assist your petals maintain their shape and prevent flopping.
Size: I made 2.5 cm flowers and 14 cm foliage using doubled lace yarn and a 2.2mm crochet hook.
Notes: Round work is used to create the flowers. To construct a full stem, I advise producing 10–20 blossoms. The leaves will then be manufactured one at a time. After all the components have been created, the flower stem will be created before the leaves are wrapped around it.
How to make a Crochet Hydrangea
The following steps should be repeated three times: dc puff stitch in the same stitch, ch3, sl st into the same stitch, *(sl st into the next st, ch3, dc puff stitch, ch3, sl st into the same stitch)* repeat *. Put an end to it and weave the ends in. 5 petals total.
Flower Assembly
Arrange the wires to form a flower bunch once you have completed the necessary amount of crochet flowers. I produced ten flowers for my flat brooch. Organize the leaves around the main stem and secure them in place a few centimeters below the flowers. The same yarn I used for the crocheted leaves was also utilized to conceal my wiring.
