This makes a lovely crochet gift for someone special or for just making for sitting around the home.
I have my little lavender pot on my bedside table and love the soothing effects of the scent.
Lavender Scent is Excellent for helping you drift off to sleep. I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis, I try not to let it get me down, and find lavender very beneficial for helping me when my symptoms flare up.
Lavender is mostly known for its health benefits and also the beautiful flowers are so delicate.
I have the most beautiful FRENCH LAVENDER -( Lavendula stoechas) In my front garden and every time I see it I always wonder if I could somehow re-create it with yarn.

I eventually decided to go with a single crochet V stitch, as I loved how it looked like the main part of the flower.
And went on to re-create the leaves with descending stitches all worked into one stitch. Just add in your favorite Potpourri.
Finish off with a white ribbon threaded around through the alternate DC V rounds and if I do say so myself I think it turned out spectacularly.
