A beautiful bunch of dainty wee bluebells to keep in a vase to admire all year round. These are beautiful flowers to crochet. The stem is made with Florists wire and Florists tape.

Skill Level: Intermediate.
Working with wire can be fiddly, the leaves are crocheted over wire, so you need to be experienced in making your basic stitches.

Special Stitches/Techniques: Ch over wire (Chain over wire).
This technique works the crochet chain onto wire and is explained with photos in the pattern PDF.

Pattern uses US crochet terminology with UK shown in the Abbreviations section in ().

Sizes/Finished Measurements:
Flower head: approx. 2cm wide (at widest) x 2.5cm long (petals curled)
Finished bunch in vase: approx. 14cm tall (height of stem can be adjusted to suit the vase by using longer or shorter wire for the stem).

Yarn: 100% Mercerized Cotton 4ply #2 weight yarn in purple/blue and green (less than 20 yards)
Yarn used: Yarn & Color Must Have in Clematis (or Lavender which is a lighter shade) and Amazon green.
