How to crochet Orchid flowers: Pattern + Tutorial

Summer mode: Activated! I’m here to bring something essential to my girly pops this summer: an orchid flower! I’ve been obsessed with orchids for so long, and I literally see them on every social media app I use. One day, I thought to myself, “Why don’t I crochet one myself?”, and it turned out super cute! I was so happy with the result and had fun coloring it with my eyeshadows, blusher, oil pastels, and watercolors. I was basically playing around with all the coloring materials I have lol. (P.S. You don’t need that much, and you don’t even need to color it if you don’t want to!)

I highly suggest making this crochet orchid flower and using it in any way you like. I’ve seen people wear orchid necklaces, hair clips, or use them as keychains! Do yourself a favor and make an orchid this summer!

Materials Needed

• Cotton(5ply) , Acrylic, or Sport in light blue and dark blue
• 2.5mm & 3mm(optional) crochet hook
• Glue (optional)
• Stitch markers, darning needle and scissors
• Pearls/beads/charms (optional)

Crochet Abbreviations

The abbreviations are in US terminology!

Three-piece petal

Start with a magic ring, using a 2.5mm hook!

R1 (11ch, starting from 2nd ch from the hook, 10sc, 1slst into mr) *3, pull the yarn and close the magic ring.

• In R2, we’ll crochet into each and every stitch of the three pieces we made in R1, including the bottom parts of the ch.
• Watch this part of the tutorial for more details.

R2 Ch1, (1sc, 2hdc, 4dc, 2hdc, 1sc, 2ch, 1sc, 2hdc, 4dc, 2hdc, 1sc) *3

• Cut the yarn leaving a long tail.

Two-piece petal

Start with a magic ring using a 2.5mm hook.

R1 (9ch, starting from 2nd ch from the hook, 8sc, 1slst in mr) *2, pull the yarn and close the magic ring.

R2 Ch1, (1sc, 1hdc, 4dc, 1hdc, 1sc) *4

Highly recommended: switch to a larger hook (e.g 3mm or 4mm) to make R3 to keep the stitches loose and relaxed. If you don’t have a larger hook, it’s also fine but be careful to not crochet too tight. Keep your tension pretty loose!

R3 Ch1, (2slst, 3dc inc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc, 2ch, 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 3dc inc, 2slst) *2

Mini center petal

Start with a magic ring using a 2.5mm hook.

R1 (4ch, 3sc, 1slst into mr) *2, (3ch, 2sc, 1slst) *2, pull the yarn and close the magic ring.

Assembly

• (Optional) In the three-piece petal section, sew only the upper part of the two bottom petals together, make sure to leave the lower parts open and unsewn.
• Watch this part of the tutorial for more details.
• Sew the two-piece petal on top of the three-piece petal and the mini petal on top of these two in the middle. You can also add small beads or pearls on top of everything to make it pop!
• For coloring, you can use eyeshadow, blusher, oil pastel or watercolor. They are not completely smudge proof and may fade over time but great for testing out and playing around with colors. If you want a permanent paint that doesn’t smudge, I recommend fabric paint but they may be quite hard to use and can get messy if you are not careful.
