Pattern notes
In this e-book I first show a pattern diagram, and then
the instructions in American Standard Terms (You can see
conversion table for British terms at the end of the e-book).
After that you’ll find photo guides for how to assemble the
flower.
* I apologize for including copyright notices on diagrams - I

have recently found too many cases of my patterns being shared,
hopefully this will help. Thank you for understanding!
Materials note
If you cannot find the right thread – I’m selling thread size #40
& #20 in my Etsy store. Its the same thread I used to make this
flower. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding
the thread or other materials.

The Ascocenda Inflorescence

The Ascocenda Orchid Inflorescence is made of 3 distinct elements, each made in a
different way - Flowers, Leaves (in 2 sizes) and the Roots.
Flowers Small
Leaves
Large
Leaves
Roots
This document first includes patterns and instructions, followed by detailed photo
guides for each element, and finally a guide to how to assemble the inflorescence.
Before your start crocheting, I recommend going through the photo guides. Also, I
highly recommend to iron and starch the petals and leaves before assembly (I’m us-
ing regular fabric starch).
Ascocenda Orchid
Ascocenda Flower
The Ascocenda flower is made of 6 elements (each with its own crochet pattern):
Right Petal, Left Petal, Dorsal Sepal, Lateral Sepals, Lip & Column.
Lip Lateral Column

Sepal Dorsal
Right Sepal
Petal
Left Lateral
Petal Sepal
The petals and sepals are all crocheted in the round in a very similar fashion, after
the diagram and patterns of the peals and sepals you can find a photo guide that will
make the tricky parts clearer.
The Lip is crocheted in a different technique, worked mainly in the rows, in a zig-zag
motion - after the Lip’s diagram and instructions you can find a detailed photo guide
for the whole process.

Crocheting a Sepal
The lateral and dorsal sepals are cro-
cheted almost the same (only the last
round is different). Moreover, they are
crocheted in a similar fashion as the pet-
als as well.
The one major difference is that the Se-

pals are crocheted in separate rounds
while the petals are crocheted in one con-
tinuous round.
Step 1 - Similar to the petals, once you finish the

first round - add the metal wire
Step 2 - Place it the same as the petals Step 3 - And continue to follow the instructions,
crocheting the second round around the metal wire
Step 4 - As oppose to the petals, the bottom of the

sepals are not crocheted around the metal wire, but Step 5 - A view before we crochet the last sl-st of the
the are crocheted so the metal wire is kept behind round

tions, repeat each sl-st in the same manner

Ascocenda Lip
The Ascocenda lip is made is the element in the middle of the flower. Its crocheted in
5 steps - First we crochet the core of the Lip, followed by the right “wing” and the
left “wing” to make a heart shaped element.
Next (step #4) we fold the heart and crochet the edges of the core section.
Lastly (Step #5), we crochet the “landing platform”, which is worked between both
wings.
Step #1 - Crocheting the Core Step #2 - Crocheting the right Step #3 - Crocheting the left

Ascocenda Leaf
The Ascocenda leaf is thin and elongated, it is also slightly folded in the middle and
bent outwards.
The leaf is not crocheted, but we’re still going to use thread. To make the leaf, we
first (step 1) going to cut a firm interfacing fabric using a leaf template (see here in
the next pages) - then, we’ll (2, 3) glue a 2 metal wires to it, and (4, 5, 6) wrap it with
a green thread (either size #20 or size #10).
While we wrap the thread, we’ll occasionally add white glue to the interfacing to keep
the thread in place.
Once the interfacing is completely wrapped with the thread, iron and starch the leaf.
Lastly, fold the leaf in the middle and slightly bend it outwards to finish the look.
Step 1 - The interfacing (already cut), with 2 green Step 2 - Add glue to the metal wires (I’m using clear
coated metal wires, each ~12”/30 cm long adhesive)
Step 3 - And place them across the mid-section of Step 4 - Once the glue dried, the metal wires should
the interfacing (no need to go all the way to the top) be firmly fixed to the interfacing

Ascocenda Leaf (#2)
Step 5 - Add white glue to the interfacing (both

sides), don’t cover the entire interfacing with white
glue, as it will get dry - I recommend adding the
white glue in 5 cm chunks, once a chunk is wrapped Step 6 - Add the thread to the interfacing
with thread, add glue to the next one.
Step 7 - And start wrapping around the interfacing, Step 8 - Wrap a section, and then slightly squeeze it
don’t wrap too tightly as it will fold the interfacing against the interfacing to make is more firm
Step 9 - as such ... Step 10 - Continue to cover the entire interfacing.

Once done, iron and starch the leaf, and the leaf is
finished

Inflorescence Assembly
To complete the Ascocenda Inflorescence,
we need to bring all the elements togeth-
er. In this example, I’m using 11 flowers
and 9 leaves (2 small and 7 large).
First, we’ll add all the flowers to a single

~16”/40cm thick metal wire (16”/18”).
And then, we’ll move to the Leaves, add-
ing a similar metal wire to each one, and
attaching all wires together with floral
tape.
Step 1 - Crochet Dorsal Sepal, 2 Lateral Sepals, Left
& Right Petal, Lip and Column
Step 2 - Add the first flower to the top of the metal Step 3 - Tightly wrap light green (or green) floral
wire tape around to keep it in place.
Step 4 - Once the first flower is added ... Step 5 - Add the next flower, slightly below the first,
and tightly wrap its stem with a floral tape

Step 6 - Wrap with floral tape Step 7 - Once the second flower is added
Step 8 - Add the next flower, again, slightly lower,

and in a different angle (+ wrap with floral tape)
Step 10 - Next, we move to the leaves, prepare all Step 9 - Continue to add all flowers, each in a differ-

Step 12 - Stick it to the base of the leaf, and add flo-

Step 11 - Take a ~15”/40cm metal wire (16”/18”) ral tape around the area, then tightly fold the base
and add a good amount of hot glue to the top to fix the wire in place
Step 13 - Next, take another leaf and add hot glue to Step 14 - And glue it to the first leaf, positioning it
its base in opposite direction, and in the same height
Step 15 - In the same fashion, continue adding Step 16 - Once the first 4 leaves are added. Next,
more leaves, adding hot glue to the base, and press- we’ll add the flowers stem to the leaves
ing across the previous leaf, only lower now

Step 17 - Place the flowers stem in your preferred Step 18 - And tightly wrap it to the main stem with
height and angle a floral tape
Step 19 - Wrap it in several layers, as the flowers Step 20 - Continue adding leaves, following steps

Step 21 - Wrap the leaves tightly together, and try to

create a layered arrangement Step 22 - Once the inflorescence is finished

Adding the Roots (Optional)

To give the inflorescence a final touch,
I recommend adding the roots. To make
the roots, we simply use hot glue and a
bucket of water.
Once the roots are made, we add color to

them, and glue them to the inflorescence
- there are no rules to how to arrange the
roots, simply glue them one by one, you
can pretty much randomly glue them, and
they will end up looking quite natural!
Step 1 - Prepare a bucket of cool water, and a wood-
en stick (I’m using the back of my brush here)
Step 2 - Next, start adding hot glue to the tip of the Step 3 - And slowly insert the stick to the water,
stick keep pressing on the hot glue (keeping the glue gun
above water!)
Step 4 - The deeper you insert the stick to the water, Step 5 - Once you think that the root is long
the longer the root you will get enough, release the glue gun and take the stick out
of the water

Adding the Roots (Optional) (#2)
Step 7 - And add color to it (the color depends on

Step 6 - Pull the root from the stick the inflorescence you are making, but green is a
good bet)
Step 8 - Once the root is ready, continue to make as

many roots as you think are enough (I kept playing
with the hot glue in the water and ended up with
too many :))
Step 9 - Once you finished preparing all the roots,

start gluing them to the inflorescence - I went pretty
wild here, I think it turned out pretty nice!
