Crochet Lavender Plant Pattern
Create a textured lavender flower with simple chains, single crochet, and a flexible wire stem. This page keeps the original construction sequence visible from the first chain to the final wrapped stem.
Materials
- Approximately 10 g purple DK / size 3 yarn
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Flower wire
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Small piece of floral tape or similar stem tape
Before you start
Gauge is not important, but the stitches should be firm with no large gaps. If your fabric feels loose, use a slightly smaller hook.

1. Make the foundation chain
With purple yarn, make a slip knot and chain 50.
2. Work the first side
Skip the first chain from the hook. Single crochet in each chain until one chain remains.
3. Shape the turning end
Work 5 single crochet stitches into the final chain, then slip stitch into the final chain as shown. This turns the work so you can continue along the opposite side.
4. Begin the lavender loops
For Row 2, repeat: chain 6, then single crochet in the next stitch.
5. Continue around both sides
Repeat the chain-6 loop sequence to the end. Chain 6, single crochet into the opposite side, then repeat along that side to the first loop.
6. Finish the crochet section
Slip stitch to finish. Fasten off and leave a long yarn tail for securing the wire.
7. Insert the flower wire
Starting at the finishing end, weave the flower wire through the Row 1 single crochets—into one stitch and out through the next.
8. Secure the top
Bend the top of the wire so the crochet cannot slide off. Sew over the bent end with the yarn tail until it is firmly covered.
9. Twist into shape
Push and gently twist the flower head upward along the stem. Add a small piece of tape directly below the flower head to hold the final shape.

Wire and finishing details
Shape checks
- The center row should stay firm while the loops remain flexible.
- If the flower looks sparse, slide the loops closer together.
- If it looks bulky, spread the spiral slightly down the wire.
- Do not pull the yarn tail so tightly that it distorts the top.
Troubleshooting
Loops vary in size: keep the chain tension relaxed and count all six chains.
Wire shows: weave through the center stitches and compress the spiral gently.
Flower slips: recheck the folded top and add a firmer wrap below the head.
Questions
Can I use another yarn weight?
Yes. Match it with a suitable hook and expect the finished flower to become larger or smaller.
Is exact gauge required?
No. Firm stitches and consistent loop tension matter more than a measured gauge.
Can I make a bouquet?
Yes. Repeat the flower in several lavender shades and vary the stem lengths slightly.
Why is wire used?
The wire supports the long flower head and lets you adjust the stem position.
