Calla Lily Flower Crochet Pattern Video Tutorial
Before you start crocheting your Calla Lily Flower, I recommend watching the detailed tutorial video below
Crochet Calla Lily Flower – Written Instructions
Pattern Notes:
For continuous rounds, use a stitch marker unless otherwise mentioned.
If R has no “turn” mentioned, it’s a ROUND (if no sl st mentioned, it’s a continuous round), if it is mentioned, it’s a “ROW”.
I used hot glue in some places for the assembly of the flowers. In some cases you can sew it instead, in other places (like the lavender) glue is required or it will not work well. However, you could use different glue, I just prefer hot glue as it dries quickly.
You crochet around the 22 gauge wire.
2 gauge wire is the “stem” of the plants.

Assembly
Put the 2-gauge wire with yarn scraps and hot glue inside the spadix. Wrap the spathe piece around the spadix, folded over at the front (glue spathe to spadix), then sew the peapod section together. Let the yarn ends hang down.
Wrap the floral tape around it, starting from the base of the green section of the spathe. Wrap until you want to add the leaf, add the wire section of the leaf as part of the stem, and keep wrapping until the end. Shorten or bend the 2-gauge wire and wrap floral tape over it until you’re satisfied.
