Description
This crochet lily ornament is a single white bloom on a long green stem, worked stitch by stitch so every petal has a soft, textured surface. Its white petals open from the centre and curl back gently at their tips, framing a cluster of dark brown stamens, while one slender green leaf reaches out from partway up the stem. It stands about 37cm tall and 7cm across, a size that sits neatly in a narrow bud vase or a slim bottle without crowding a shelf.
Because it is crocheted rather than cut, our lily needs no water and will not wilt, which makes it an easy way to bring a flower into a room that rarely sees fresh blooms. We like it on a bedside table, a mantelpiece, a hallway shelf or a desk, where the white and green feel calm and fresh against almost any colour scheme. It also makes a thoughtful little gift for anyone who loves flowers, a present that stays in bloom long after cut flowers would have gone.
The petals, leaf and stem are all worked in close crochet stitches, and the stem is wrapped in green for a neat finish from top to bottom. The stamens are picked out in brown, a small detail that makes the bloom read as a lily at a glance. To keep it looking its best, give it a light dust with a soft dry brush or cloth now and then, and keep it away from damp. For styling, a single stem in a clear glass bud vase lets the stitches show, while a tall stoneware bottle sets off the white petals. Tie a ribbon around the stem and it is ready to hand over as a gift.
