 How to crochet caper flower

A little known flower perhaps because its bud is harvested first. The caper flower has a delicate aroma and its beauty has nothing to envy of other more famous flowers. To make the crochet caper flower it is necessary to prepare the flower, the pistil, the calyx, the caper, the cucuncio and the leaves that are of 2 different sizes. Required: cotton number 10 and number 20 - 1.0mm crochet needle - 0.45mm galvanized iron wire - scissors - cotton - plasticized iron wire - pliers. For the flower and pistil use cotton number 20, for everything else number 10.

Flower explanation

Start 5 chains and close them in a circle.

1st round: 12 single crochets.
2nd round: 3 double crochets in one point, 2 double crochet in one point, 3 double crochet in one point. Turn the job.

Go down with very low stitches to the round of low stitches.
Repeat the same for a total of 4 times.

Explanation of the pistil

In 3 fingers, wrap a little cotton about 15 times to form a skein. Cut about 5 cm of galvanized iron wire and place the skein in the center. Twist the iron wire around itself for about one cm to lock the skein and create the stem that joins the flower.
Shape the skein by cutting off the excess cotton with scissors.

Explanation of the chalice

Start 5 chains and close them in a circle.
1st round: 12 single crochets.
2nd round: 6 chains and in these make: 1 single crochet, 1 medium double crochet, 1 double crochet, 2 double crochet, skip 2 basic stitches, 1 slip stitch. Repeat the same for a total of 4 times.
To assemble the flower, insert the pistil into the flower and then into the vase. Cover the binding stem with cotton by working the chains around it.
Make all the flowers you need for your composition.

Caper explanation

Start 4 chains and in the first make 9 double crochets (total 10).
1st round: 2 chain stitches, 2 double crochets closed together, 2 chain stitches, 1 slip stitch. Repeat the same one more time.
Cut about 5 cm of galvanized iron wire and wrap a little cotton in the center. Twist the iron wire on itself for about a cm to lock in the batting and create the stem to attach the caper. Cover the binding stem with cotton by working the chains around it.
Make all the capers you need for your composition.

Explanation of the cucuncio

Start 4 chains and in the first make 9 double crochets (total 10).
1st round: 15 treble crochets (increase every 2 stitches).
2nd round: 15 treble crochets.
3rd round: 2 double crochets closed together throughout the round. Cut about 8 cm of galvanized iron wire and wrap a little cotton in the center. Twist the cable around itself for about 2 cm. Insert the wire into the cucuncio while you continue filling and close the third round.
4th round: 2 double crochets closed together throughout the round.
5th round: 2-3 slip stitches. Cover the binding stem with cotton by working the chains around it.

Explanation of the small leaf

Start 10 chains.
1st round: 1 double crochet, 1 double crochet, 2 double crochet, 1 double double crochet, 2 double double crochet, 1 double double crochet, 2 double crochet in one point, 1 double double crochet, 1 low point. Redo the same as the other side of the chains.
Cut a piece of galvanized iron wire that goes around the full circle of the sheet plus an additional 2 cm per side and insert it by working around the single crochets. Stretch the sheet well, shaping it with your hands. Twist the iron wire on itself for about half a cm to create the stem that joins the leaf and reopen it in cotton working the chains around it.

Explanation of the middle sheet

The procedure is the same as for the small sheet, only the points change. Start 15 chains.
1st round: 1 single crochet, 1 medium double crochet, 2 double crochet in one point, 3 double crochet, 2 double crochet in one point twice, 3 double crochet, 2 double crochet in one point, 1 medium double crochet, 1 point simple . Do the same again on the other side of the chains.
Make all the small and medium leaves that you need for your composition.

Cut a piece of plasticized iron wire of the appropriate thickness and length for the job being done. Using pliers, bend one end twice to form a knot.
Immediately below the knot, fasten 2 small leaves folded in half, overlapping them and alternating their position. Tie the capers with the small leaves, about 1 cm apart. Then tie the flowers and cucunci them with the medium leaves.
Cover the twig thus obtained with the cotton by moving the chains around it, except for about 3 cm that will be inserted into the vase.
Model everything with your hands.
Make all the twigs you need to create your caper plant.
