This pattern gives all the instructions and details for making your very own Moth Orchid (Phalaenopsis amabilis) in crochet. It makes a beautiful and unique piece for your home or as a gift to the plant-lover in your life. No watering required!

The pattern includes two different sizes of flower, buds, leaves, soil and pot, so your entire piece is crochet, top to bottom.

Measurements for the finished piece: 10cm W x 40cm H
The stem and flowers can be adjusted, so the size is variable.

The pattern is beginner to intermediate level with primarily basic stitches used, such as magic ring, single crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, back loop only stitches and pichot. I have used standard US abbreviations throughout.
This pattern will not teach you how to crochet from the very beginning, but I believe anyone who has completed at least a couple of projects would be able to create this piece.
