Materials
-
Yarn: Thick "Angel" yarn in Purple, Green, Pale Yellow, and Bright Yellow.
-
Hook: 5 mm crochet hook.
-
Hardware: 20-gauge wire (Calibre 20) and a wooden skewer (for the stem).
-
Tools: Pliers, scissors, tapestry needle, and a hot glue gun.
-
Special Finishing Tool: A hair straightener (flat iron).
Special Features
-
Wired Structure: Every petal contains a wire border, allowing you to bend, curve, and shape the flower into a lifelike, dynamic pose.
-
"No-Gap" Center: By working into the back loops ("bumps") of the foundation chain, the petals have a solid, closed center without the typical gaps seen in standard chain-based crochet.
-
Heat-Finished Yarn: The use of a hair straightener burns off fuzzy fibers and flattens the stitches, giving the petals a sleek, fabric-like appearance.
-
Decorative Embroidery: Fine purple detail lines are sewn onto each petal to mimic the intricate veins of the magical flower.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the stitches (slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet) are basic, the technique of crocheting around a wire and assembling multiple components with glue and structural support requires precision.
-
Wire Choice: The tutor uses 20-gauge wire, but notes that if you can find a slightly thinner, more flexible wire, it may be easier to manipulate for the petals.
-
The "Burn" Technique: Be careful when using the hair straightener. The goal is to singe the loose fibers (pilling) to make the stitch definition look sharp, not to melt the yarn entirely.
-
No-Gap Chain: Focus on working into the "back bump" of the initial chain. This is the secret to making the petal look like a solid piece of material rather than a crochet lace.
Conclusion
The Sundrop Flower is more than just a crochet project; it's a structural masterpiece that captures the essence of a cinematic icon. It serves as a perfect gift for Rapunzel fans or a magical piece of home decor.
Tip: After the flower is fully assembled, give the petals one final "tweak" with your fingers to curve them outward. Use the hair straightener one last time on the edges if any part of the yarn looks ruffled from the assembly process.
