Pattern: Flower Vase

I decided to make a vase for some of my decorative flowers instead of buying one.  I chose to crochet with 2 strands of yarn together to give it a bit more stiffness and be able to stand up better. I thought it turned out really cute using two different colors at the same time. I chose a blue and cream color to go with my other decor. This is a really simple pattern, I recommend using a cotton yarn so the final product will be firm. 

Materials

• 6mm hook
• 2 colors of Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn. I used hot blue and ecru.

Tie off and weave in ends.

I filled the bottom of the vase up with some marbles that I had to give it some weight and help it stand up. I also decided to add some cute wooden beads in the front by threading them onto some hemp string and tying a knot. I really like how it turned out!
