Baby’s Breath Flower Crochet Pattern Video Tutorial
Before you start crocheting your baby’s breath flower, I recommend watching the detailed tutorial video below
Crochet Baby’s Breath – 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.
Pattern Instructions
Baby’s Breath
Premier Anti-Pilling Yarn – white, lemon
15 Flowers
R1: cut a piece of wire (~8-10 inches), with lemon, crochet 5 sc sts around the wire, bend the wire in half such the the sts are in the bend, sl st first and last st together, bend the wire downwards, such that you can still crochet around the sts, fasten off, don’t weave in ends but cut to 1-2 inches short
R2: with white, ([1 sc, 1 dc, 1 sc] in the same st)x 5, fasten off and weave in ends
Wrap floral tape around the base of the flower, covering the yarn ends for about 1-2 inches
Once you have all 15 flowers, combine 3 into a set as mentioned below, then combine 5 sets into one at the end.
Take 3 taped flowers and combine them by keeping wrapping floral tape for 1-2 more inches.
Once you have 5 sets, add a 2-gauge wire around one set of 3, add floral tape around, then add 4 more sets, then keep wrapping floral tape until the end. Shorten or bend the 2 gauge wire and wrap floral tape over it until you’re satisfied.
