Crochet Lavender Flower Pattern – FREE PATTERN – Essential Oil Diffuser – Step by Step Tutorial – 2 Ways

Hello!

It is finally time to share the Lavender Flower crochet pattern! This was so fun to design and really brings a spot of joy into the room. I have already made three and everyone has really enjoyed them. There is also a bonus bee pattern if you would like to add a cute little friend for your flower. If you want to try out a smaller project, please check out my sunflower plant pattern!

This pattern is what truly pushed me to continue designing patterns. I felt so inspired after designing this pattern. It made me realize that it is ok to undo and undo and undo a design until it looks right! I have also included a picture of the first pot design and the final product so you can see what the different phases of the design process looks like!

This pattern uses DK and lace yarn, but you will only need the lace yarn if you are making the bee. I used hot glue to glue the flowers onto the wire, but you can probably use any glue you would like and just wait for it to dry.

Let’s start crocheting!

Here the video tutorial for the Lavender Flower with subtitles:

Video Tutorial: Lavender Flower

Lavender flower complete! You can lift off the dirt and place a flat cotton pad under it and put any essential oil you would like to diffuse into your room! This is just a bonus little idea to add some practical use to your crochet.

I was thinking of also making a mini version of this lavender flower, by using the same pattern as the sunflower plant, but just have one lavender flower in the pot!

You can also check out the sunflower pin pattern as well! Or if you are ready for Autumn, you can check out the pattern for the toadstool mushroom. I have plans to share a few more autumn applique patterns in the next couple of weeks so be on the look out for the autumn garland.

Please leave me a comment below with any suggestions or questions!

Happy Crocheting!
