This high-quality spice is the world's most expensive
because of its totally manual processing. Every year at this time when there is
saffron harvesting you can see the fields that are covered with intense violet
color.
A flower that after extracting the precious values
contained inside it is thrown away. I liked the idea of making it live
again and so I recreated it with crochet and I have the pleasure to share it
with you. Very simple to accomplish and now I'm going to explain it.
Needed: cotton number 20 - 1.0mm crochet hook - scissors - needle - 0.45mm galvanized iron wire - plasticized iron wire - pliers.
Explanation of the flower
Start 15 chains and make these: 2 single crochet, 2 half
double crochet, 2 double crochet, 2 triple crochet, 2 double crochet, 2 half
double crochet, 2 single crochet. Return the same as the other side of the
chain. Now cut the galvanized iron wire of the length of the petal more than
about 2 centimeters and work around the single crochet. Close the work, tend to
give the right shape of the petal and twist the piece of iron wire over it, cut
the excess and fold it back into the petal. In the 3 outside petals fold it
inside, in the 3 inner petals fold it instead on the outside. When you have all
6 petals, take those that have the iron wire bent outward and sew them one at a
time in the bottom end, then sew the other 3 petals by staggering them to
create the right flower shape.
Explaining Stimulus
Start 15 chains and in the last one make a slip stitch (a
little one) and continue with the slip stitch until the first chain. In this
redraw 15 chains and again a slip stitch with the top in the top and again in
the first chain rework all the same for a total of 3 stitches.
Explanation of yellow pistil
Start 5 chains in round and inside to make: 7 chains and in
these make: 2 single crochet, 2 half double crochet, 2 double crochet for a
total of 3 times.
Now cut a piece of plastic wire rod to create the stem and
in a bit twist a little yellow cotton to form a small ball, then help with a
bend curved the stem to stop the cotton and give it the shape of a small pistil
. In this stem put in first order the red stitches then the yellow pistils and
finally the flower. Now with the green cotton thread around the stem the chains
to cover it, letting it open about 2 centimeters because that piece will be
inserted in the pottery. With all the flowers needed by your creation, I did
just a seedlings and put it in a small jar, to do this, I made 3 flowers, 2
buds and leaves.
Explanation of the bud
For the bud, use only 3 sewn petals at the bottom ends and
the yellow pistil. Curve a little inside to give it a semi-solid shape.
Explanation of the leaf
I made the leaves of 3 different sizes to arrange everything
around the flowers, made 7 of 40 chains, 5 of 30 chains and 5 of 20 chains. For
the big leaf, start 40 chains to cut the zinc plated wire of the length of the
chains more than a few centimeters, work around the single crochet on one side
and the other on the chains, work well and twist on yourself the remaining iron
wire galvanized to form a small stem that will serve you to insert the leaf
into the jar. Now since the leaf was a little open to the original I thought of
sewing it to the edges and then: bend the edges of the leaf and make it fit,
then in small stitches united to them, so the leaf will have the right pointed shape.
The procedure is the same for all the leaves you must do; large, medium and
small. Once you have done what you need to arrange them all around the flowers
and admire your little saffron seedlings.
Girls I always hope to have given you an extra idea and have
been clear in the explanations. Have fun creating and let yourself be guided by
your imagination. Hi everyone to the next.
