Description
This crochet foxglove ornament is a single flower stem, with clusters of small purple bells climbing its length and tight curled buds at the very tip. A long green leaf sits low on the stem, and the stem itself is worked in the same soft green, so the whole piece looks like a flower just cut from a cottage garden border. It measures 35cm long, a good height for a bud vase, a small jug or a narrow bottle.
Because it never wilts and needs no water, our foxglove suits the places where fresh flowers struggle: a windowsill, a mantelpiece, a bedside table, a desk at work or a bookshelf that rarely gets a second glance. Stand it on its own in a slim bud vase for a quiet spot of colour, or tuck it in beside dried grasses and other stems to add height to an arrangement. The purple sits happily with white, cream and sage green schemes, and it brings a little of the garden indoors all year round, even in the depths of winter when the borders are bare.
Every bell, bud and leaf is crocheted, which gives the flower a soft, textured surface that rewards a closer look and feels quite different from glossy artificial stems. There is nothing to water or trim, and it will never drop petals on the table. To keep it looking fresh, lift away dust now and then with a soft dry brush or a gentle shake, and keep it away from water and damp so the stitches stay neat. As a small gift it says a great deal: a flower that lasts, lovely handed over just as it is or tucked into a parcel alongside a card and something kind.
