Rose Petal Sachet: {Crochet Pattern}

Here’s a little sachet that’s perfect to give as a stocking stuffer for someone who loves frilly, Victorian style pretties. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried my hand at thread crochet but this whipped up in no time for me (although a bit wonky in a spot or two).

The sample sachet pictured to the right was made with DMC Cebelia size 20 thread and a 1.25 mm crochet hook. Sample sachet measures: 7″ across (edge to edge). You can use whatever thread and hook size you wish.

Pattern Source: Vintage pattern from around the 1950s.

Notes: The original pattern had directions for using different colored threads, I’ve kept those instructions as-is below in case you wanted that type of multi-colored sachet. For the finished sachet pictured above, I just used one color.

Abbreviations: Ch (chain); st (stitch); sc (single crochet); dc (double crochet); sl st (slip stitch); lp (loop); hdc (half double crochet)–thread over as for a dc, insert hook in st and pull through, thread over and pull through all 3 lps at once; rnd (round); sp (space); p (picot).

Directions:

Ch 5, join with sl st in first ch to form a ring.

Round 1: Ch 4 (for a ch 2 and hdc), (hdc in ring, ch 2) 4 times, join last ch 2 in second ch of ch 4 first made.

Round 2: (Sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) over each of the ch 2 sps.

Round 3: * Ch 4, taking ch behind petals, sc between the next two petals, repeat from * around.

Round 4: (Sc, hdc, 5 dc, hdc, sc) over each ch, join and fasten off.

Round 9: (Sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) over each ch 4 around, join and fasten off.

Make two motifs for each sachet. For the sachet pad, cut two circle pieces of satin and sew up partially. Stuff with cotton and sprinkle with your favorite sachet or fill with a homemade potpourri mix. Finish sewing it together.

Place the sachet pad between the two crocheted pieces and thread narrow ribbon through the openings, finishing with a bow.
