Step-by-Step Instructions

Lavender Stalk

Start with the base of the lavender stalk:

• Make a slipknot and create 32 chain stitches.

Work the single crochet section:

• Skip the first 2 chains and make 18 single crochets (1 sc in each chain for 18 stitches).

Create slip stitches:

• On the remaining chain stitches after the single crochet section, make slip stitches. You should end up with 12 slip stitches.

Lavender Petals

Change the yarn color:

• Switch to one of your purple yarns.

Make a slipknot, then create 2 chain stitches to begin.

Start forming petals:

• In the same spot as the chain stitches, make 6 double crochets using the purple yarn.

Secure the petal:

• Pull the yarn slightly longer, then count 3 stitches ahead from your current chain base.
• Insert your hook into the third stitch, yarn over, and pull the yarn downward to tighten the petal placement.

Repeat the petal formation:

• Each petal formation includes:
• 2 chain stitches
• 6 double crochets
• Securing the petal by pulling the thread into every 3rd chain stitch from the base.

Repeat this process 11 times to complete the lavender section.

Create 3 Lavender Pieces

Repeat the above steps to make 3 identical lavender stalks and petals using the same technique.

Assembly

Attach the Keychain Ring

Create another slipknot with green yarn and make 65 chain stitches.

Securely attach the chain stitch section to the keychain ring using your hot glue gun.

Final Touches

Secure the lavender crochet pieces to the chain stitch section using glue and scissors to trim any excess yarn.

Size Adjustments

If you want to adjust the size or customize this project:

Petal Length

To make larger petals, increase the number of double crochets in each petal (for example, 8 dc instead of 6 dc).

Stalk Length

Add or reduce the number of chain stitches for the stalk section. For a longer stalk, increase the initial chain count beyond 32. For something smaller, reduce it.

Multiple Lavender Stalks

You can adjust the number of stalks to fit your preferred aesthetic. Instead of 3 pieces, make more or fewer stalks based on your liking.

Tips and Tricks

• Tension Control: Keep your tension consistent to ensure your lavender stalk and petals are even.
• Color Mixing: Experiment with different shades of purple to create a gradient effect for your petals.
• Securing Ends: Use the hot glue gun to tightly secure all ends for a sturdy finish.
