Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Crocheting the Base
- Start with a Magic Ring:
- Make one chain inside the magic ring.
- Knit 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring.
- Pull the magic ring tight and fasten with one chain.
- Mark your stitches and begin the next round:
- Knit two sc in each space to increase evenly around.
- Ensure a total of 16 sc at the end of the round.
- Finish with a slip stitch (ss) and chain 1.
2: Expanding the Base
- Gradually increase with each round:
- For round 3, alternate between one sc in one space and two sc in the next space. This results in 24 sc.
- For round 4, use a similar pattern to reach 32 sc.
- Continue increasing using this progression until the base has 48 sc.
- Make sure to mark the stitches in each round for accuracy.
3: Creating the Vase Structure
- Switch to focusing on the outer loops: Knit into the side loops for shaping the vase structure.
- Complete 48 sc in the outer loops.
- Switch back to normal loops to reinforce the structure:
- Knit seven rounds (56 sc each), ensuring consistency.
- Begin decreasing stitches: Pick up two loops in consecutive spaces and knit them together to reduce the number of stitches.
- Add cotton stuffing as the vase narrows for sturdiness.
4: Crafting and Attaching Leaves
- Geda Flower Leaf:
- Use green wool and a 2.5 mm crochet hook.
- Chain 7 stitches.
- Skip one chain and knit 4 sc into the next spaces.
- Use slip stitches and chain 9 on alternate sides to create pointed structures.
- Repeat for all petals and ensure consistency (total 3 leaves required).

- Straighten the leaves using a straightener, then attach with glue to the vase.
5: Decorating the Vase
