Explanation of the third part of the crochet undergrowth

Explanation of raspberry crochet

It grows spontaneously in many undergrowth to delight us with its tasty berries. Raspberry is a concentrate of health enclosed in a single fruit.

To make the raspberry crochet it is necessary to prepare: the fruit, the glass and the leaves.

Needed: cotton number 20 - crochet 1.0mm - scissors - galvanized iron wire 0.45mm - plasticized wire - wadding - pliers.

Explanation of the fruit

Start 2 chains and in the first do 6 single crochet in total. The first single crochet of each lap is always replaced by a chain.

1st round: 9 single crochet (one increase every 2 points).

2nd round: 13 single crochet (one increase every 2 points).

3rd round: 19 single crochet (one increase every 2 points).

4th and 5th round: 19 single crochet.

Lap 6: 2 single crochet closed together for the whole lap. Cut about 6 cm of galvanized iron wire and wrap some cotton wool or cotton wool in the middle. Form a small ball that will be blocked by wrapping the wire on itself, thus creating a small union shank. Leave about 1 cm on each side free, to be able to tie it to the other raspberries or to the main stem. Insert the ball with the wire inside the fruit and close the sixth round.

7th lap: 2 single crochet closed together for the whole lap.

Lap 8: 2-3 slip stitch and close the job.

Make all the raspberries you need for your composition.

Explanation of the glass

Start 6 chains and in these do: 2 single crochet, 2 half double crochet, a single crochet in the first initial chain. 5 chains and in these to do: 2 single crochet, 2 half double crochet, a single crochet in the first initial chain. Repeat for a total of 5 tips.

Insert the glass in the raspberry stem and cover it with cotton, working the chains around it. Leave about 1 cm on each side to be able to fasten it. Fasten the stems between them by creating small groups of 3, 4 or 2 raspberries. Every time a shank is tied, cut the extra wire, there will be only 2 that will be the ones that will be connected to the main stem.

Explanation of the leaf

The leaves are grouped in three by the galvanized iron wire.

Start 20 chains.

1st round: 3 single crochet, 3 half double crochet, 2 double crochet, 3 triple crochet, 2 double crochet, 3 half double crochet, 3 single crochet. Do the same on the other side of the chains. Cut a piece of galvanized iron wire that makes the complete turn of the leaf 3 times more about 2 cm more per side and join it to work around the single crochet. Stretch the leaf by modeling it with your hands and twist the wire 2-3 times on itself to block the work. Without cutting the cotton make another identical leaf. From the second leaf to get to the wire and work the single crochet go down half a leaf with slip stitch. Once the third leaf is finished twist the wire on itself for about a cm to create a small stem and cover it with cotton, working the chains around it.

Cut a piece of plasticized iron wire of the length and thickness appropriate to the work being carried out. Bend a tip twice to form a knot (help yourself with pliers). Fasten the leaves to the stem and close the small groups of raspberries close to them. Cover the stem with cotton, working the chains around it, except for about 3 cm, which should be inserted into the vase.

Make all the raspberry sprigs you need for the composition.

To cover the knot on the top work a little dome making: 4 chains and in these make 12 double crochet in total. Sew it to the stem.

Arrange the leaves and raspberries shaping everything with your hands.

Explanation of crochet grass

I like to observe the strength of a thin grass that makes its way between two huge stones or see it grow in the harmonious whole of a large meadow.

To make it, you need to prepare three strands of grass of three different sizes.

Needed: cotton number 20 - crochet 1.0mm - scissors - galvanized iron wire 0.45mm - plasticized iron wire - pliers.

Explanation of the large grass blade

Start 50 chains.

Cut a piece of galvanized iron wire that makes the complete turn of the chains plus another 2 cm more or so on each side and insert it into the single crochet.

Stretch well shaping with your hands and twist the remaining wire on itself to create a small stem that will allow you to insert the grass wire into the vase.

Explanation of the middle blade of grass

The same procedure as for the large blade of grass, only the chains that change will be 40.

Explanation of the small blade of grass

Same procedure as the large blade of grass, only the chains that are 30 change.

Make all the grass that you need for the composition.

Explanation of the mushroom

A precious gift of mother nature to be collected only if you are sure you have the right knowledge. The mushrooms contain all the aromas of the undergrowth to which they belong.

To make the crochet mushroom it is necessary to prepare: the hat and the stem.

Needs: cotton number 20 - crochet 1.0mm - scissors - needle - plasticized wire - wadding - pliers.

Explanation of the hat

Start 4 chains and in the first make 11 double crochet (total 12).

1st round: 24 double crochet.

2nd round: 36 double crochet (increase every 2 points).

3rd round: 36 double crochet.

4th and 5th round: cotton color change. A double crochet, 2 double crochet closed together. Repeat the same for the whole round. Close the job. Insert cotton wool or cotton wool and shape with your hands.

Explanation of the stem

Start 5 chains and close them in a circle.

1st round: 15 double crochet.

2nd round: 30 double crochet.

3rd and 4th lap: 1 double crochet, 2 double crochet closed together. Repeat the same for the whole round.

5th and 6th round: 14 double crochet.

Cut a piece of plasticized wire of the length of the shank plus about 2 cm which must come out from below, in the center of the circle of the 5 initial chains (it will be used to insert the mushroom in the vase). Insert it into the stem of the mushroom by wrapping it around the wadding and mold it with your hands. Sew the stem to the hat to assemble the mushroom.

For a mushroom a little higher, do 2 more turns in the shank, then add a seventh and an eighth turn again with 14 double crochet.

Three elements to create a single whole. Or to be inserted together with other elements and create the crochet undergrowth. Free space for your imagination.

As always I hope I have explained everything to the fullest.

At the next creation, hello to everyone.
