Greetings, my dear friends from the Hive platform, especially for the needlework community on Monday, it is my pleasure to introduce you today to a step by step crochet orchid psudobulb. I also invite you to see how we made the flower in the previous publication, so you can assemble your complete plant.
The pseudobulb is a bulbous-shaped thickened structure that originates from a stem between two leaf knots, its function is to store.
Lap 1: we start with a magic ring and 6 single crochets (image 1 and 2).
Row 2: 2 single crochet in the same hole (increase) repeat 6 times (image 3).
Round 3 to 21: 12 doubles single crochet in relief front and behind (image 4, 5 and 6).
To make the roots we take a strip, we divide it in half (it must measure twice the length we want the root) (image 1), then we introduce it in the lower part of the pseudobulb (image 2). We leave one of the strips underneath and take the other (image 3), and then pass the one in the center (image 4 and 5). We repeat the step several times until we reach the end of the strip (image 6).
Round 1: we started with 41 chains (image 1), 5 single crochets, 5 bareta, 20 double bareta, 5 bareta, 5 single crochets and 1 chain (image 2). 5 single crochet, 5 double crochet, 20 double bareta, 5 double crochet, 5 double crochet, chain 2 (image 3).
Row 2: 5 single crochets, 30 bareta, 10 single crochets (image 4), 30 bareta, 5 single crochets, 1 slip stitch, we close and cut the thread (image 5).
We introduce a goldsmith wire in the center of the sheet (image 6).
We take the Rlc flower. Toshie Aoki, the pseudobulb with its roots and leaf. We introduce the flower and the leaf into the pseudobulb and our orchid plant is ready.
Note: The titles and images were taken with a mobile phone camera and edited in PowerPoint by the author.
