Crochet an Allium – Giant Blossom Balls for Vase and Decor (EN & DE)

IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF pattern, NOT the finished item.

The pattern comes in one file in English AND German.

A blossom ball like an ornamental allium – crocheted from 50 small single blossoms that are threaded onto wire and gathered into one round head. White pearls sit on top as the blossom tips, and the green stem is crocheted over a wooden stick so the ball stands upright.

A single blossom takes only a few stitches, so you work the same small piece many times over – perfect alongside something else. How the blossoms become the ball is explained step by step. In purple, in white, or mixed from several shades.

Chains, single crochet, slip stitches, magic circle, half double crochet, double and triple crochet, increases and decreases.
The blossom is worked in rows, the stem in rounds.
Besides crocheting there is some wiring and gluing – all of it described step by step.
Difficulty:

The wooden stick is about 30 cm long, and the crocheted stem is worked over it to about 25 cm.
