Little Flower Bulb Vase - cute Spring/Easter Docoration - Crochet Pattern

LITTLE FLOWER BULB VASE

It‘s cold outside and fresh flowers nowhere to be seen?
Just crochet yourself a little flower bulb vase and but some artifical flowers inside!
Once spring finally arrives you can easily replace them with real ones since there‘s an orchid tube/water tube inside which provides your flowers with water.
Decocrate your Easter table with small groups of them, filled with daffodils.
Very cute for Mother's Day as well. You see, the possibilities are endless. :)

Of course the vase can be done without such a tube (and then can be used with artificial flowers only of course).

The face is optional, too, of course. So if you‘d like it pure and simple just leave it out.

Bonus: Except for the cheeks there‘s no sewing involved! :)**

FORMAT

• pattern in PDF format (with watermarks)
• to open and read the file you need a specific program, e.g. Adobe‘s free Acrobat-Reader

Size Information

The bulbs get to be about 10.5 cm tall (from bottom to top of the inner vase-part – without leaves) (with 2.0 mm hook and Sport weight yarn like Catania Originals).

You need it smaller or bigger? No problem! Simply use lighter or heavier yarn.
The orchid tube I used here won‘t fit then though.

Materials List

For bulb and leaves you need about 20 g each of Sport weight yarn (e.g. Catania Originals). For the roots, cheeks and the mouth you only need a bit of leftover yarn.
For the eyes I used 6 mm safety eyes.
The orchid tube has the outer dimensions of 16 x 80 mm (without lid) and has a tapered end.
For stuffing I recommend poly pellets, fine gravel or something equaly small & heavy.
