Stephanotis Bridal Conservatory House– Crochet

Stephanotis Bridal Conservatory House– Crochet

This elegant crochet conservatory is designed as a luxury miniature display piece with a bright greenhouse roof, climbing white blossoms, tiny potted plants, and a sweet gardener puppy. It fits beautifully into handmade home decor, collectible dollhouse styling, and giftable crochet art for buyers who love boutique miniature pieces.

The finished scene feels like a premium artisan greenhouse, with details that suit search-friendly interests such as amigurumi decor, crochet house display, handmade nursery shelf decor, and miniature garden room gifts. Every section below is written to help you recreate the exact look of the photographed piece with confidence.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.

Finished Size

When worked with the hook sizes listed below and lightly stuffed only where noted, the full scene measures about 8 1/2 inches wide, 7 inches deep, and 11 inches tall.

The puppy gardener stands about 3 inches tall from feet to top of ears, or about 3 1/2 inches tall including the hat.

The conservatory itself is the dominant element. It should look tall, airy, and narrow rather than short or boxy.

Yarn Notes and Color Placement

The house is mainly white with warm beige framing. The door and trim are not stark gray; they lean soft linen and antique ivory.

The brick arches are white and lightly dimensional. The roof lattice is smooth, narrow, and clean, so choose a cotton yarn with crisp stitch definition.

The vines are dark green, while the stephanotis blossoms are bright white with tiny pale centers. The puppy uses golden tan and white with black eyes and nose.

Construction Overview

The project is easiest when built in layers. First make the base platform and the lower floor. Then build the door wall, the open cutaway side, the rear wall, and both tall arched end frames.

After that, crochet the curved greenhouse roof lattice and add the clear panes. Make all interior furniture separately. Finish with plants, flowers, lanterns, wagon, and the puppy gardener.

Base Platform

Use the 2.5 mm hook and beige yarn. Ch 43.

  1. Row 1: Starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc across. Turn. 42
  2. Rows 2-28: Ch 1, sc across. Turn.
  3. Round edging: Work 3 sc in each corner and sc evenly around all sides. Join.

Do not stuff. Steam lightly so the base stays flat.

Switch to moss green with the 2.25 mm hook. Surface crochet one outline round 2 stitches in from the outer edge on the left and rear sides only, forming the grassy garden strip seen in the photo.

For the white pebble area at the front and right, use the 2.0 mm hook and white yarn. Work a separate panel: ch 30.

  1. Rows 1-16: sc across, turn. Fasten off.

Sew this white panel onto the front-right portion of the base. Add pebble texture by embroidering tiny French-knot-like wrapped nubs or by stitching small seed-like loops all over.

Main Floor Inside the House

With the 2.5 mm hook and white yarn, ch 24.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 23
  2. Rows 2-18: ch 1, sc across.

This rectangle becomes the inner house floor. Sew it onto the base slightly left of center so there is a front pebble courtyard and a right-side open frontage.

Front Door Wall Section

This is the front-left face of the conservatory. It includes the narrow wall, inset door, and side framing.

Using the 2.5 mm hook and white yarn, ch 20.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 19
  2. Rows 2-24: ch 1, sc across.

Do not fasten off. Crochet upward side edging with 24 sc, then across top with 19 sc, then down opposite side with 24 sc. Fasten off.

To create the inset door opening, cut away the center visually by sewing trim over an empty space rather than by removing stitches. The photo shows a framed wall panel with door and adjacent vertical trim, so the cleanest method is layered appliqué.

Door Panel

Use the 2.25 mm hook and warm beige yarn. Ch 9.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 8
  2. Rows 2-16: ch 1, sc across.

Border with one round of sc, working 3 sc in each corner. This gives the raised door slab.

For the lower kick panel, embroider a rectangle in beige over the lower 4 rows.

For the upper glass division, use white yarn and the 2.25 mm hook to make tiny strips:

  • Vertical mullions: make 2 strips, each ch 7, sl st back
  • Horizontal mullions: make 2 strips, each ch 5, sl st back

Sew them onto the upper half of the door in a six-pane arrangement.

Add a tiny brown handle with the 1.5 mm hook: ch 3, sl st back, then fold into a loop and sew to the right side.

Sew the door onto the front wall, centered slightly low, leaving a narrow margin around it. Add a white step below the door by making a tiny flat oval with the 2.25 mm hook.

Front Side Window

To the right of the door on the same front-left face, attach a tall narrow window frame. Use the 2.25 mm hook and white yarn.

Make an outer frame: ch 7.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 6
  2. Rows 2-15: ch 1, sc across.

Border around the rectangle. Then sew a vertical center strip and two short horizontal strips to mimic the narrow greenhouse panel visible beside the door.

Rear Wall With Arched Window

Use the 2.5 mm hook and white yarn. Ch 23.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 22
  2. Rows 2-18: ch 1, sc across.

Now shape the upper arch section.

  1. Row 19: dec, sc 18, dec. Turn. 20
  2. Row 20: dec, sc 16, dec. Turn. 18
  3. Row 21: dec, sc 14, dec. Turn. 16
  4. Row 22: dec, sc 12, dec. Turn. 14
  5. Row 23: dec, sc 10, dec. Turn. 12
  6. Row 24: dec, sc 8, dec. Turn. 10

Fasten off. This creates a softened arched top that sits inside the taller brick arch surround.

📌Thank you for reading the article

With the 2.25 mm hook, make a large arched window appliqué in white using strips. Create one vertical center bar, two lower side bars, and one gently curved top bar. Sew these onto the rear wall over a clear plastic pane.

Open Right Side Lower Wall

The photographed house is open on the front-right side so the interior shelves are visible. Only a low front wall remains.

Use the 2.5 mm hook and white yarn. Ch 18.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 17
  2. Rows 2-8: ch 1, sc across.

Fasten off and sew this piece to the right front edge of the floor, matching the low wall height seen in the image.

Brick Arched End Frames

The most important structural feature is the pair of tall rounded end arches. These should be thick, white, and softly textured like miniature brickwork.

With the 2.5 mm hook and white yarn, make 2 identical long strips: ch 52.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 51
  2. Rows 2-5: ch 1, sc across.

Do not fasten off. Work a faux-brick surface by slip stitching horizontal broken lines across the strip, offsetting each row. Keep these shallow so the strip still bends into an arch.

Curve each strip into an inverted U shape. The straight ends become the side pillars. Lightly insert plastic canvas inside each side pillar only, leaving the top curved section flexible.

Sew one arch at the front opening edge and one at the rear wall edge.

Curved Roof Lattice

The roof is airy and barrel-shaped with repeated white ribs and clear window spaces. Use the 2.5 mm hook for the main ribs and the 2.25 mm hook for crossbars.

Main Roof Ribs

Make 6 identical ribs in white. Ch 34.

  1. Row 1: sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.

Steam lightly and bend each rib over a rounded object while warm so it holds a gentle arc.

Sew one rib along each side edge where roof meets wall. Space the remaining ribs evenly across the roof from front to back.

Roof Crossbars

Make 8 strips, each ch 18, sl st back with the 2.25 mm hook. Sew these perpendicular to the ribs to form the roof window grid.

The front roof section in the photo shows larger panes than the side wall panes, so keep the spacing even but not crowded.

Window Panes

Cut clear plastic panels to fit each roof and wall opening. They should sit behind the crochet lattice, not in front of it.

Use tiny stitches with white sewing thread or a small amount of glue on the outer edges only. Avoid excess adhesive so the conservatory remains crisp and bright.

Interior Right Wall Shelving Unit

This unit fills most of the visible inner right wall. It includes three shelves and a lower work surface.

With the 2.25 mm hook and beige yarn, ch 15.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 14
  2. Rows 2-20: ch 1, sc across.

This is the back board. Sew it vertically to the right interior wall.

Make 4 shelves with the same hook: for each shelf, ch 13, sc back across for 2 rows. Fasten off.

Sew the shelves across the board at even intervals. The lowest shelf acts as the workbench. Leave enough depth so the tiny pots can sit securely.

For the black faucet-like wall fixture near the upper shelf, use the 1.25 mm hook and black yarn. Ch 4, sl st back, then stitch it sideways so it projects outward like a small tap.

For the lower red-handled plant tool area, embroider one tiny black hook and place a red-handled pruner and a gray scissor shape on the workbench.

Mini Plant Pots and Succulents

Use the 1.75 mm hook for leaves and the 1.5 mm hook for the smallest pots. Make several in terracotta, taupe, gray, sage, and mint to match the mixed shelf display.

Basic Pot

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR
  2. Round 2: inc around. 12
  3. Round 3: BLO sc around. 12
  4. Rounds 4-5: sc around
  5. Round 6: FLO sl st around for rim

Lightly stuff the bottom if needed.

Spiky Succulent

In sage, make 6 leaves: ch 5, sl st in 2nd ch, sc, hdc, sl st. Sew around the pot center.

Rosette Succulent

Make a strip: ch 13, work 2 hdc in each chain across. Roll tightly into a spiral and sew to a pot.

Tall Cactus Cluster

Make 3 narrow tubes: 4 sc in MR for 5 to 7 rounds. Join together and insert into a pot. Add tiny white seed stitches as cactus dots.

Topiary Cone

Use dark green and the 1.75 mm hook. 4 sc in MR, then increase to 6, 8, 10, and 12 over several rounds. Work 4 more rounds even. Stuff firmly.

Make at least 9 potted plants total so the shelves and exterior match the photograph.

Tea Table, Cups, and Macarons

The round table is small and sits inside near the opening, with pastel treats and tiny cups.

With the 2.0 mm hook and beige yarn, make the tabletop: 6 sc in MR, then increase to 12 and then 18. Fasten off.

For the pedestal, crochet a narrow tube of 5 sc for 5 rounds. Sew to the center underside. Attach to a tiny flat base.

For cups, use the 1.5 mm hook. Work 4 sc in MR, then one round even. Add a tiny side loop handle.

For macarons, make 2 tiny circles in pastel shades and sandwich a cream strip between them. Create pink, mint, yellow, and lavender pieces.

Wrought-Iron Chairs

The chairs are black and delicate. Use the 2.0 mm hook with black yarn over fine craft wire for shape stability.

For each chair seat, make a small oval: ch 5, work around both sides for 2 rounds.

Wrap wire with black yarn to form curled back scrolls, front legs, and arm loops. Stitch the crocheted seat onto the wire frame.

Make 2 chairs, one inside and one outside, both with open decorative curves.

Hanging Lanterns

Use the 1.5 mm hook. In brown, make a tiny cone cap: 4 sc in MR, then 4, then 6. Fasten off.

In golden yellow, make a small teardrop center: 4 sc in MR, 6 sc, then 6 sc.

Surround the yellow center with brown vertical cage stitches. Add a curved hanger strip in brown and sew one lantern to each side arch.

Stephanotis Vines and Blossoms

These trailing white flowers define the entire piece. Use the 1.75 mm hook.

Vines

Ch 28 to 45 for each vine strand. On the return, alternate sl st and sc. Add a tiny leaf every few stitches by chaining 3 and slip stitching back.

Make at least 8 vine strands in varied lengths. The heaviest concentration should frame the front-left wall and spill toward the base.

Blossoms

In white, 5 sc in MR. In each stitch work: sl st, ch 2, 2 dc, sl st. This creates one petal cluster. Repeat around for 5 rounded petals.

Make 18 to 24 blossoms. Sew them densely along the vines, especially around the upper front wall and beside the door.

Flower Pots at the Front

Make 2 terracotta pots with fuller leaf clusters using the 1.75 mm hook. Place one at the front center and one at the right side of the step.

Add a smaller green succulent pot at the far left front corner with the cone topiary and a squat rosette beside it.

Wagon Cart and Flower Load

The right side of the base includes a small cart with black wheels and a beige body carrying colorful flowers.

Use the 2.0 mm hook and beige yarn. Ch 10.

  1. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch and across. Turn. 9
  2. Rows 2-5: ch 1, sc across.

Fold into a shallow tray and sew side seams. Add a narrow handle strip.

For wheels, wrap black yarn over wire circles or crochet 8 sc in MR, then a round of 12 sc. Make 2 larger rear wheels and 1 smaller visible front support wheel if desired.

Fill the cart with tiny flower tufts in pink, aqua, coral, and lavender.

Gardener Puppy

The little gardener resembles a corgi with a large tan head, white blaze, white muzzle, upright ears, green overalls, striped scarf, and a brown hat.

Head

Use the 2.0 mm hook and golden tan yarn.

  1. Round 1: 6 sc in MR
  2. Round 2: inc around. 12
  3. Round 3: sc, inc around. 18
  4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around. 24

  7. Round 11: 3 sc, dec around. 24
  8. Round 12: 2 sc, dec around. 18

Stuff firmly. Leave opening for sewing.

White Face Blaze and Muzzle

With white yarn and the 1.75 mm hook, make an oval muzzle: ch 5, work around for 2 rounds to about 10 stitches. Sew low on the face.

For the forehead blaze, embroider a white tapered shape from between the ears to the nose bridge.

Ears

Make 2 in tan with white inner triangles. Start with ch 2, 3 sc in second ch. Turn and increase at each edge for 3 rows. Sew upright and slightly angled outward.

Body and Legs

In white, make 2 legs: 6 sc in MR for 5 rounds. Join legs with 3 chains.

Switch to green for overalls and body. Sc around both legs and chain bridge for 3 rounds, then decrease slightly to create a narrow torso. Stuff lightly.

The puppy in the image has a short, compact body, so keep the torso stubby rather than elongated.

Arms

Make 2 white arms with the 2.0 mm hook: 5 sc in MR for 4 rounds. Sew at the body sides.

Overalls

With green yarn and the 2.0 mm hook, crochet a bib panel: ch 5, sc back for 4 rows. Sew onto the upper front torso.

Make 2 thin straps with ch 7. Sew over the shoulders. Add 2 tiny brown buttons.

Hat

Use brown yarn and the 2.0 mm hook. Make a flat circle to 12 stitches, then work one round BLO and 3 rounds even for the crown. Add a brim by increasing lightly in one final round.

Scarf

With the 1.75 mm hook, ch 20 in cream. Return in sl st. Add a second narrow stripe in muted pink or dusty rose along one edge. Wrap around the neck and let one end fall down the front.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Sew the house walls to the base first. Attach the rear wall, then the front-left wall, then the low open right wall. Add the brick arches and finally the roof lattice.

Insert all clear panes before sewing the final roof joins completely closed.

Arrange the shelf unit, table, and interior chair before placing the puppy. Sew or glue the potted plants securely so they do not slide.

For the puppy face, place black eyes evenly above the muzzle. Embroider a small triangular nose and a short straight mouth line. Add faint tan brow shaping with one tiny stitch over each eye for a gentle, alert expression.

Care Notes

  • Display indoors away from direct rain and heavy moisture
  • Keep out of prolonged harsh sunlight to protect the white yarn and clear panes
  • Lift from the base, not from the roof ribs or vines
  • Move the piece with two hands because the lanterns, chairs, and wagon are delicate

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

  • Both arched brick frames are symmetrical
  • The roof ribs curve evenly from front to back
  • Clear plastic panes sit behind the crochet frames
  • The door has a visible upper pane grid and lower panel
  • At least 18 white blossoms are attached to the vines
  • The right shelf wall contains mixed pots, tools, and one faucet detail
  • The tea table includes cups and pastel macarons
  • The puppy has hat, scarf, overalls, ears, muzzle, and tail balance
  • The wagon is filled with color so the right side matches the photographed composition

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Dust the conservatory with a soft dry makeup brush, working from the roof downward. Clean the clear panes gently with a dry cotton swab.

Do not soak the full piece. If a removable mini pot or the puppy needs cleaning, spot-clean only with a barely damp cloth and let it dry completely before returning it to the display.

Store the house in a box that is taller than the roof curve. Use tissue around the lanterns, wagon, and flowers so they are not crushed. Never stack heavy items on top of the conservatory.
