How to corchet Haworthia

A small fatty plant very decorative for its mottled leaves of white, for its rosette shape and its white florals in its flowering period. She does her beautiful figure in a composition

of other fat plants but also in a single jar. She is the last of the seven crocheted greasy plants that is part of the composition. In order to realize it, prepare the leaves of 3 different lengths and the florellini with its sprig. To give more leaves to the leaves I used cotton number 10, everything else is always number 20.
Required: cotton number 20 and number 10 - 1.0mm crochet hook - scissors - needle - galvanized iron wire - plasticized iron wire - pliers.

Explanation of the large leaf.

Start 40 chains.

1 lap: 5 single crochet, 5 double crochet, 5 double crochet, 9 triple crochet, 5 double crochet, 5 double crochet, 5 single crochet. Return the same as the other side of the chain.

Close and hold the cotton a bit long.

Fold the leaf in half. With the white cotton, put the crochet on one side at the beginning of the high double stitches, make 9 chains and a slip stitch on the other side of the leaf at the other triple crochet facing it, turn the leaf and make again 9 chains a slip stitch on the other side. Continue this work to the tip of the leaf. As you proceed you decrease the chains as well as decreases the size of the leaf trying to keep parallel white whites. Once folded the leaf in half and sew the sides. The leaf will have the outer side with the white stripes and the green inner side. You will need to prepare 7 of this length for the first section and 6 for the second. To create the section you will need to sew the leaves at the ends close to each other giving it the shape of a circle with a small central opening.

Explanation of the medium leaf.

Start 35 chains

1 lap: 5 single crochet, 5 half double crochet, 5 double crochet, 4 triple crochet, 5 double crochet, 5 half double crochet, 5 single crochet. Repeat the same on the other side of the chains. Continue with the same procedure as the large leaf. At this length you will have to make a section of 5 leaves.

Explanation of the small leaf.

Start 30 chains.

1 turn: 5 single crochet, 5 half double crochet, 9 double crochet, 5 half double crochet, 5 single crochet. Repeat the same on the other side of the chains. Continue with the same procedure as the large leaf. With leaves of this magnitude you will make a 4 section that will also be the last one.

Cut a piece of plastic wire and wrap a bit of cotton of the same cotton as you used for the leaves, bend the tip and help with a clamp to lock the cotton. This will be placed in the center of the sections and then in the jar, it will make a pivot to keep it all.

Explanation of the flower.

Start 5 chains and in the first one: a triple crochet, 3 chains and in these do: a single crochet, a half double crochet, a slip stitch, equal to a total of 5 times. Insert the crochet into the first triple crochet (the first 4 chains) and make a slip stitch, here make the 3 chains with the single crochet and the half double crochet to get the sixth little petal. Close the work and hold the cotton a bit long, sew the sides of the flower and with 2-3 points close the flower opening too. With the green cotton a bit clearer than what you used for the leaves you will make a small pistil. Cut a piece of cotton and at one end make 4 knots one attached to the other, insert the needle into the cotton, then insert the needle into the center of the flower and let it out of the bottom, the 4 knots will stand firm and make from micro pistil, stop the cotton under the flower.

There are also tiny leaves that will just be created by making 4 chains and in these a low point, a half high mesh and a very low point. Both the florals and the leaves should be stitched to the stem. For the stem we must cut a piece of galvanized iron wire of the appropriate length, bend it in half and insert the first floral into 2 points in the bass. Make a nod and keep wrapping the iron wire over the entire length of the stem. This will then be coated with brown cotton working around the chains. Once ready it will be inserted into the jar between the second and third section of leaves. I hope as always that I have been clear in the explanations and have given you a more idea.
