Pattern Overview

This project is a decorative crochet diorama worked in many small pieces and assembled on a firm crocheted base. The pictured style is soft, detailed, and miniature, with a garden greenhouse placed toward the back and a picnic scene in the front.

The pattern uses US crochet terms. Most pieces are worked in continuous rounds for a smooth amigurumi look. The greenhouse frame is crocheted as narrow tubes and reinforced so it stands upright like the image.

• Finished size: About 13 in wide x 13 in deep x 10 in tall, depending on yarn and tension.
• Main hook: 2.5 mm for amigurumi pieces.

• Gauge: 7 sc x 8 rows = 1 in with 2.5 mm hook.

Important Notes Before You Start

The greenhouse in the image is open and airy, so the crocheted frame should look like narrow white posts rather than solid walls. Reinforce the inside of each post with wire or pipe cleaner before sewing.

The lavender pots are intentionally varied in height and color. Make some spikes taller and some shorter to create the natural garden look shown in the image. Use the same lavender pattern, but change the number of stems per pot.

The hedgehogs have cream faces, rounded brown spines, small black eyes, dark noses, and tiny feet. The large hedgehog sits on the front-left blanket edge, while two smaller hedgehogs sit together near the center.

Base Mat

Use moss green yarn and a 3.0 mm hook. Work the base as a firm square. Insert plastic canvas underneath after crocheting if you want the display to hold the greenhouse and fence without bending.

1. Ch 46.
2. R1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn. 45 sc.
3. R2-R45: Ch 1, sc in each st across. Turn. 45 sc.

6. Border R3: With sage green, ch 1, sc in each st around, placing 3 sc in each corner. Join and fasten off.

Base shaping: Block the square flat. Sew or glue plastic canvas to the underside. The sage border should look like the raised green rim visible around the garden base.

Greenhouse Floor Panel

Use light tan yarn. This panel sits inside the greenhouse and represents the woven floor seen beneath the shelves and potted flowers.

1. Ch 25.
2. R1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. Turn. 24 sc.
3. R2-R22: Ch 1, sc across. Turn. 24 sc.
4. Border: Ch 1, sc evenly around, placing 3 sc in each corner. Join and fasten off.

Sew the greenhouse floor to the back-center of the moss base, about 1 in from the back edge and centered from side to side.

Red Gingham Picnic Blanket

The blanket in the image is a red and white check pattern placed at the front. Work it in color blocks of 3 stitches to create a gingham effect.

For a slightly flatter look, block the stones before sewing. Sew them between the lavender pots and around the greenhouse entrance.

White Garden Fence

The fence is made from repeated rounded pickets and two horizontal rails. It goes around the front and sides of the base, leaving the greenhouse visible at the back.

Fence Pickets

Make 34 pickets in off-white yarn with a 2.5 mm hook.

1. Ch 9.
2. R1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc 6, 3 sc in last ch. Working down opposite side, sc 7. Sl st to first sc.

Greenhouse White Frame

The greenhouse has tall white posts, rectangular side windows, a triangular front gable, and an open front doorway. Use off-white yarn and a 2.5 mm hook. Crochet narrow tubes over pipe cleaners or insert wire after crocheting.

Tube Formula

Use this formula for all greenhouse posts.

1. MR, 6 sc into ring. 6 sc.
2. Continue sc around in a spiral for the number of rounds listed.

Care Notes

• Display this piece indoors away from strong sunlight to protect the soft yarn colors.
• Do not machine wash because the greenhouse frame, wire, and tiny pieces may bend.
• Spot clean gently with a cool damp cloth.
• Let the display air dry completely before storing.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• The greenhouse stands upright and the sage roof is centered.
• The white frame has visible open windows and an open front doorway.
• The lavender pots are grouped thickly around the garden edges.
• The red gingham blanket sits at the front with three hedgehogs on it.
• The basket, tart, pitcher, and glasses are sewn securely.
• The sign reads Lavender Garden.
• The bee, butterfly, arch vine, fence, and stones are attached firmly.

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Use a soft makeup brush or small craft brush to remove dust from the lavender spikes, hedgehog spines, fence, and greenhouse roof. Brush in the direction of the crochet stitches so the loops stay neat.

If any lavender stems bend, reshape them gently with your fingers. If the greenhouse frame leans, straighten the hidden wire slowly and avoid pulling on the yarn tubes.

Store the finished garden in a box with tissue paper around the greenhouse and fence. Do not place heavy items on top. Keep the bee, butterfly, and sign protected so the small wire details stay upright.
