Materials:
-
-
Yarn: Light brown/golden yellow yarn (for the rice grains) and green yarn (for the stalk and leaves).
-
Wire: Thin floral wire to give the stalk and leaves structure and stability.
-
Tools: Crochet hook, scissors, and hot glue.
-
-
Difficulty Level: Intermediate. The construction involves working around wire and creating repetitive "puff" or "bobble" stitches that require consistent tension.
-
Uses: Fall decor, farmhouse-style floral arrangements, or as a decorative element in handmade bouquets.
Special Features
-
Textured Grains: The puff stitches perfectly capture the bumpy, textured look of a ripening ear of rice.
-
Posable Design: Because both the leaves and the main stalk are reinforced with wire, you can bend and curve the rice stalk to look like it is heavy and drooping, just as it would in a field.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Yarn Choice: Use a matte yarn rather than a shiny one to maintain a natural, earthy appearance.
-
Tension: Keep your puff stitches relatively tight so the grains don't look loose or messy when wrapped around the wire.
Conclusion
Crocheting Ears of Rice is an excellent way to practice repetitive textural stitches while creating something unconventional. The final product is a durable and charming piece of "nature" that adds a warm, rustic touch to any space.
Final Tip: When wrapping the grains around the wire, don't wrap them too perfectly. Overlapping some grains slightly or leaving tiny gaps makes the stalk look more organic and less like a manufactured object.
