About This Lavender Pattern
This pattern creates delicate crochet lavender stems that can be bundled into a bouquet or used singly as decor. It uses weight 4 yarn and simple stitches to make detailed lavender spikes. The design includes optional leaves and a clear assembly guide to attach flowers to floral wire.
Ideal for beginners, the pattern is written in US terms and uses a 4.0mm hook. Step-by-step photos and assembly instructions help you finish each stem professionally.
Why You'll Love This Lavender Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a charming bouquet that brightens any room. I designed it to be beginner friendly so you can complete a lovely stem quickly and confidently. I love how customizable the stems are—you can change colors, lengths, and how many blossoms you combine. Making these lavender stems always feels calming and rewarding, and they make wonderful handmade gifts.
Switch Things Up
I love experimenting with color palettes to create different moods—try pastel purples for a soft look or deep plums for a dramatic bouquet.
I often change the chain length to make longer or shorter stems; mixing lengths in one bouquet creates a more natural arrangement.
I like to substitute floral wire with wooden skewers for a rustic look; just wrap tightly and secure with hot glue as directed.
I sometimes add a tiny dab of fabric stiffener to the lavender tips if I want the loops to hold a very sculpted shape.
I recommend trying variegated yarn for each spike to give a lively, textured appearance—each spike will look unique.
For a mini keychain version, use a thinner yarn and smaller hook to scale the pattern down to portable sizes.
I enjoy adding beads or tiny felt accents to simulate dew drops or pollen for a whimsical finish.
If you want a posable stem, slip a thinner gauge floral wire inside the wrapped wire and wrap as normal for added structure.
I sometimes make coordinating leaves in different shades of green and attach more than one leaf per stem for fuller foliage.
To create a full arrangement, mix in other crocheted flowers or dried real foliage; I often tie everything together with a matching ribbon for a polished look.
Try gifting single stems in a small box or grouping several in a mason jar—simple presentation changes can make the same stems feel brand new.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Choosing the wrong yarn weight will change the final size and texture of the lavender; use a Weight 4 yarn as recommended to keep the details crisp and pretty.
✗ Not leaving the center hole of the magic ring large enough will prevent the floral wire from fitting through; when closing the MR, make sure the hole stays big enough for your stem.
✗ Skipping the hot glue steps or rushing the glue can cause the lavender to slip on the stem; apply glue carefully and hold pieces in place until fully set.
✗ Forgetting to make the chain length measurement consistent will produce uneven lavender spikes; count chains carefully and measure stems as you go to keep lengths uniform.
