🪡 Assembly Guide
Step 1 – Attach Small Petals
- Sew 6 small petals evenly spaced around the top of the core (between rounds 5–6).
- Slightly overlap tips so the petals look tight and bud-like.
Step 2 – Attach Medium Petals
- Sew 6 medium petals one round lower (between rounds 7–8).
- Place them between the small petals, tilting outward slightly for a layered look.
Step 3 – Attach Large Petals
- Sew 8 large petals around the base (rounds 10–11).
- Overlap them generously for a wide, blooming effect.
- Angle outward for an open flower shape.
Step 4 – Add Green Base
- Sew 6 stuffed green lobes evenly spaced under the flower.
- They should cup the bottom, creating a stable calyx and a soft cushion.
✨ Finishing Touches
- Shape petals with your fingers for natural layering.
- If using cotton yarn, you can lightly steam-block the petals to hold their curl.
- Your flower should now look full, layered, and cushion-like—just like a blooming lotus or peony.
🌸 And there you have it! A soft and plush crochet lotus/peony that’s as fun to make as it is to display. It makes a perfect centerpiece, pillow accent, or thoughtful handmade gift.
