You’ll learn how to crochet a small purple lavender bud with a slender green stem and tiny leaves, then attach a jump ring or split ring so you can add it to a keychain, purse zipper, or phone strap.
Overview and inspiration
Lavender is a favorite both in the garden and in crafts. The scent of real lavender is calming, and the color itself—a soft, dusty purple—reads as cozy and cute in crochet form. A lavender phone charm is petite, portable, and endlessly customizable. You can switch the purple shade, change the green for a brighter lime or an olive, or add a tiny leaf pair to create a little bouquet. For some people, lavender symbolizes healing and tranquility; for others, it’s simply a fun, stylish little accessory.
This pattern emphasizes clarity and repeatable steps so you can crochet with confidence, even if you’re relatively new to amigurumi-style projects. You’ll end up with a compact lavender bud that sits on a slim stem, anchored with a couple of leaves, and ready to be attached to a ring, clasp, or keychain attachment.
What you’ll need
– Yarn
– Purple lavender yarn for the bloom: about 15–20 yards (14–18 m). A sport weight or employee-friendly DK weight works well for a tiny charm.
– Green yarn for the stem and leaves: about 10–15 yards (9–14 m). Choose a shade that contrasts nicely with your purple.
– Crochet hook
– A 3.0 mm to 3.25 mm hook (US size D-3 to D-3.25) works well for a compact, tight fabric. If your tension runs loose, you may want to switch to a 2.75 mm hook.
– Stuffing
– Small amount of polyester fiberfill for shaping the bud and stem.
– Hardware
– A small split ring or jump ring (about 8–10 mm) to attach the charm to a phone case or keychain.
– Optional: a small lobster clasp or a short chain if you want to convert it into a dangling accessory.
– Optional: a tiny bead or a drop of lavender-scented oil (see tips in the variation section) if you’d like a light scent.
– Accessories
– Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
– Small scissors.
– Optional marker to keep track of rounds.
Note on gauge and size
Gauge isn’t critical for a tiny charm like this, but a typical result is about 1.25 to 1.75 inches tall (3.2–4.5 cm) from the tip of the bud to the bottom of the stem, depending on your yarn weight and hook choice. If you want a larger charm, use heavier yarn (light worsted) and a larger hook (3.5 mm to 4.0 mm) and scale up proportionally. If you want a more petite charm, switch to a finer yarn (light fingering) and a 2.75 mm hook, but keep the stitches tight to hold shape.

Pattern notes
– This pattern is designed to be assembled in three pieces: a purple lavender bud, a slender green stem, and two small green leaves. The final assembly attaches to a ring so you can easily add it to your phone case or keychain.
– If you’d like to scent your lavender charm, do the scenting before final assembly: place a tiny amount of dried lavender inside the bud or add a drop of essential oil to the stuffing, then close the bud securely.
– You can adjust the number of leaves or their size by crocheting a simple leaf shape and adding or removing leaves as you prefer.
Pattern: lavender bud, stem, and leaves
Part 1: Lavender bloom (the purple bud)
Make 1 bloom.
Round 1 (start at center): Using purple yarn, make a magic ring, and crochet 6 single crochets into the ring. Tighten the ring. (6)
Round 2: Increase in every stitch around (12)
Round 3: (sc, inc) around (18)
Round 4: (sc, sc, inc) around (24)
Round 5: Sc around (24)
Round 6: (sc, sc, sc, inc) around (30)
Round 7: Sc around (30)
Round 8: (sc, sc, sc, sc, inc) around (35)
Round 9: Sc around (35)
Round 10: (sc, dec) around (24)
Round 11: (sc, dec, sc) around (18)
Round 12: (dec, sc) around (12)
Round 13: dec around (6)
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for closing and attaching.
Stuff lightly to create a compact bud shape. The purple bud should feel slightly rounded, not flat.
Part 2: Green stem piece
This will be a slim, elongated piece that serves as the “stem” for the Lavender. You can crochet this as a flat strip, then roll gently to form a subtle tube, or simply practice with a thin, flat stem for a modern, minimal look.
Option A (slim flat stem, simple):
– Attach green yarn to the bottom of the pup and chain 14.
– Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook to last chain (13).
– Rows 2–11: ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across (13).
– Fasten off, leaving a tail to weave in.
Option B (soft tube stem, a little extra length):
– Chain 16.
– Row 1: Sc in 2nd chain from hook to end (15).
– Rows 2–12: Ch 1, turn, sc in each stitch across.
– Optional: If you want a rounder look, you can crochet one more row and then fold the piece to create a gentle tube. Fasten off with a long tail.
Choose the option that matches your preferred stem look. The stem is designed to be slender; you want it to be easy to sew to the bud and leaves without overpowering the bloom.
Part 3: Leaves (two small leaves)
Pattern for a simple leaves shape (you’ll crochet two identical leaves)
– Start with green yarn.
– Round 1: chain 8; sc in 2nd chain from hook and across to the end (7 sc). Fasten off, leaving a tail for attaching.
– Round 2 (optional shaping): Attach yarn at one end; chain 1; sc in the same stitch; working along the side, increase slightly to create a gentle leaf shape (a few increases along one edge will produce a small teardrop). Finish with a few sc along the other edge for symmetry. Fasten off, leaving a 12-inch tail to sew to the stem.
Alternatively, you can make a traditional little leaf by the following simple method:
– Start with green yarn.
– Chain 9.
– Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and across to the last chain (7 sc).
– Turn and work 7 sc back along the chain, then go down the opposite side with a few increases to create a leaf shape. Finish and leave a tail to attach.
Make two leaves identical. After finishing, set them aside for assembly.
Assembly and finishing
– Positioning:
– The lavender bloom is the focal point. Place the bloom at the top of the stem piece. The two leaves should appear on either side of the stem just below the bloom so they peek out a little, adding a natural lavender look.
– Attaching the bloom to the stem:
– Use the green yarn tail from the stem or a new green yarn tail to sew the bottom of the purple bloom to the top of the green stem. A few tight whip stitches around the base will hold the bud securely.
– Attaching the leaves:
– Position one leaf on each side of the stem near the base of the bud, and sew into place with a few small stitches so they don’t move.
– Attaching the hardware:
– If you want to attach this lavender charm to a phone case or a zipper pull, you’ll need a jump ring or split ring. Attach the ring to the top of the stem, or at the top of the bud if you’d prefer the ring to sit near the bottom as a decorative feature.
– You can also weave a small length of yarn to create a loop to connect to a lobster clasp or a short chain if you want more length and movement.
– Finishing touches:
– Weave in all loose ends with the tapestry needle. Make sure there are no stray tails that might snag on fabric or your phone case.
– If desired, lightly fluff the bud by gently smoothing the stitches with your fingers to maintain the rounded shape.
Tips for variation and customization
– Color variations:
– Try a deeper violet for the bloom and a bright green for the stem and leaves for a bold look. You can also use a variegated purple for the buds to give a soft, natural gradient.
– If you want a lighter, pastel lavender feel, choose a pale lavender or lilac for the bloom and a sage or mint green for the stem and leaves.
– Size adjustments:
– For a larger charm, use heavier yarn (light worsted) and a slightly larger hook (3.5 mm or 4.0 mm). For a smaller charm, use lighter yarn (fingering) and a smaller hook (2.75 mm).
– Scented option:
– If you’d like your lavender charm to have a scent, you can place a tiny puff of dried lavender inside the bud before closing and sealing. Another option is to place one drop of lavender essential oil on a tiny piece of cotton or felt and insert it inside the bud before closing. Make sure the scent doesn’t cause the yarn to bleed.
– Alternative assembly:
– Instead of a single stem with two leaves, you can crochet a tiny bouquet of three or four buds, each with a tiny green stem, and then attach the bouquet to a small ring. This creates a little bunch that looks like a spray of lavender.
– Finishing with a different hardware option:
– A small lobster clasp can be added to the ring for easy clipping onto a bag or zipper pull. If you want a longer charm, you can attach a short chain between the ring and the stem.
Photo tips for showcasing your Lavender Phone Charm
– Lighting:
– Natural daylight provides the best color accuracy for the purple and green hues. Place your project near a window on a bright day, but avoid harsh direct sun that can wash out the color.
– Background:
– A solid, neutral background helps the lavender colors pop. Soft gray, cream, or light wood tones work well. For a more vibrant look, you can place the charm on a contrasting surface (e.g., a small purple or green fabric swatch) to highlight the colors.
– Angles:
– Take a few close-up shots of the bud’s texture and a couple of shots showing the leaves and the top ring. Then include a shot showing how it attaches to a phone case or bag.
Care and storage
– Keep your lavender charm away from direct heat and excessive moisture. If it gets damp, gently pat dry and reshape the bud and stem.
– If the charm loses a little fluffiness after long use, you can fluff the bud with a gentle fingertip and comb the stitches into place.
– Store in a small bag or box to protect it from snagging on other items in your bag.
Pattern variations and modifications
– Multiple-bloom bouquet:
– Make 3–4 purple blooms and a slightly longer stem, then attach them to a single ring or a short chain to form a tiny lavender bouquet charm. This is especially cute on a tote or as a necklace pendant.
– Mini silicone bead accent:
– Consider tucking a tiny bead into the bottom of the bud before closing to add a subtle sparkle or a weight that helps it hang nicely.
– Two-tone lavender:
– Use a lighter shade of purple for the outer petals and a slightly darker purple for the center of the bud. You can separate the color changes by performing a color change mid-round.
Common questions and troubleshooting
– My bud looks flat and lacks roundness. How can I fix this?
– Make sure you’re not over-stretching yarn when you close rounds, and ensure you’ve stuffed enough to shape the bud. If needed, adjust your final rounds to be a little tighter to keep the spherical shape.
– The leaves don’t sit well against the stem. Any tips?
– Sew the leaves with a few tight stitches to hold their place, ensuring they lie flat along the stem. Avoid pulling the yarn too tightly during sewing, as it can warp the leaf shapes.
– The charm is too loose; I’m worried it will fall apart. What should I do?
– Double-check your finishing: weave in ends securely, and consider adding a couple more slip stitches along the base of the bud where it attaches to the stem. You can also secure the seed bead or a small dab of fabric glue to the base to prevent movement.
– Can I crochet this in a different weight yarn?
– Yes. If you use heavier yarn, scale up the pattern by one size in hook and adjust rounds accordingly. For lighter yarn, use a smaller hook and fewer rounds to maintain the proportion.
A quick note on SEO-friendly content (without changing the pattern)
If you’re writing this for a blog post that should rank well on search engines, there are a few natural practices you can adopt that don’t change the pattern itself:
– Use the target keyword phrases naturally in headings and the first 100–150 words. For example, phrases like “Crochet Lavender Phone Charm Pattern,” “DIY Lavender Keychain Crochet,” and “lavender crochet pattern for a phone charm” can appear in a natural context.
– Include a concise FAQ and a robust “What you’ll need” section with bullet lists so readers can quickly skim for the essentials.
– Provide clear, step-by-step instructions with section headings so search engines can parse the structure.
– Add high-quality images and alt text that describe each step (e.g., “lavender bloom crochet close-up,” “green stem with leaves,” “attach to keyring”).
– Offer variations and tips that encourage dwell time and sharing, such as bouquet options, scenting ideas, and care tips.
