How to crochet a Echeveria

The large family of fat plants is also part of this small seedling that takes the form of a rosette. The Echeveria with its colorful florals delights and colors the succulent groove. He could not miss in my composition of greasy crocheted plants and Echeveria is the second of the seven. To make it, it is necessary to prepare 6 sections of leaves of different sizes, the florellini with its goblet and pistil and small sprigs.
Needed: cotton number 20 - 1.0mm crochet hook - scissors - needle - 0.45mm galvanized iron wire - plasticized iron wire - pliers.

Explanation for the 7-leaf section, 6 and 5.

Start 25 chains and do these: a single crochet a half double crochet, a double crochet, two triple crochet at one point, 16 triple crochet, two triple crochet at one point, a double crochet, a half double crochet and a single crochet. Repeat the same on the other side of the chains. At the last single crochet work a 3-ply chainsaw. Close the work by holding the cotton a bit long. Fold the leaf in half and sew the sides. Make all the leaves you need to create the 3 sections. The leaves are then joined together to form a circle, you will make one of seven leaves, one of six and one of five.

Explanation for the 5-leaf section, 4 and 3.

Start 20 chains and make these: a single crochet, a half double crochet, 2 double crochet at one point, 13 double crochet, 2 double crochet at one point, a half double crochet and a single crochet. Return the same as the other side of the chain. Continue with the same procedure as the larger sections.

Now cut a piece of plastic wire, on a tip wrap several times of cotton (the same as used for the leaves) to form a small ball. Helping with the bolted pliers the tip to lock the cotton. This will be put into the center of all 6 sections of leaves once you put them over the other from the largest to the smallest, it will pivot to keep the sections sealed. When cutting the iron wire, hold about 2 cm in excess that will allow you to insert it into the jar.

Explanation of the flower.

Start 4 chains in the first one by 9 double crochet (total 10).

1 turn: 3 chains and in these make: a single crochet a half double crochet, jump a base point, a slip stitch. Repeat equal to a total of 5 times.

Explanation of the pistil.

To make the pistil do a little jerk by passing the cotton 7 times in 2 fingers. Cut a piece of galvanized iron wire of the appropriate length to the stem that you are making (to make a sprig of 2 flowers you also have to prepare a smaller stem that will then be attached to the main stem), bend the crown in half by placing it at the center of the piece of the iron wire, twist it on itself, knotting the matassin and creating the small stem.

Explanation of the small goblet.

Start 4 chains and do these: a single crochet, a half double crochet, a slip stitch in the first chain. 3 chains and in these do: a single crochet, a half double crochet, a slip stitch. Repeat for a total of 5 times.

In the stem with the pistol ready to fit the flower, the chalice and then work around the chains to cover it with cotton (the same as you used for the leaves). Combine the small stems to the main one to get a small group of florins and then dress with the chains also the main stem. While lining it up to a certain height, you also make a small leaf by simply 3 chains and in these a single crochet and a half double crochet. The flower buds will be placed in the center immediately after the third section of the leaves.

I hope I have explained everything to the best. Have fun creating and let yourself be guided by your imagination.

Hi everyone to the next.
