Mount to Stick

Attach flowers and buds to top portion of stick, wrapping remaining wires and securing with glue and yarn.

Pattern Corrections

Petal and leaf shaping: Ensure proper stitch counts at tips for symmetry.
Wire lengths: Double check wire length before cutting; longer is easier to trim than splicing in extra.
Pot rounds: To avoid a hexagonal pot bottom, stagger and divide the placement of increases in even rounds.

Tips

Block petals and leaves after wiring to deepen natural curves and neatness.
Use a yarn needle to hide thread ends inside petals, leaves, and pot construction.
If desired, add extra cardboard/foam discs inside the pot for more stability.
Glue dots at key join points will ensure strength and prevent flower or leaf movement.

Conclusion

This crocheted orchid brings together multiple techniques and materials to achieve a remarkably realistic appearance. With wired petals and leaves, a sturdy wrapped stem, shaped buds, and a secure pot, your finished orchid will be a lasting work of art. Adjust colorways to create beautiful arrangements or gifts.
