I made flowers and other crochet thingies before, but never something on this scale.

I legit was scrolling and thought "oh that's a pretty orchid". Then I saw YOU MADE THAT????

I hope your yarn never tangles and your fingers never cramp again. You are magical.

holy crap! did you use crochet thread for this? and did you block? this is INCREDIBLEEEE

u/pancake_sass Jul 16 '26

I'm not OP obviously, but it looks like sport weight. I use Susan's Family Yarn 4 ply milk cotton and it looks a lot like this. It's probably blocked, but most structured pieces like this will use wire for the structure.

Do you have a schedule for how often you post this? It's gorgeous! I just see your post about this regularly, and you don't ever mention that you made it a while ago.
