Calla Lily / Peace Lily

**Calla Lily / Peace Lily** is an original crochet pattern by June Gilbank. A beautiful realistic tulip flower with a clever one-piece construction – you'll love how it comes together! Add some colour to your life with a bouquet of everlasting tulips. Here are some ideas for use: * Create a beautiful bouquet or vase of tulips * Add a shorter stem to make a lovely tulip buttonhole **Yarn:** Small quantity of worsted weight yarn in a floral colour (e.g. white, pink, red, purple, yellow, orange, cream) plus yellow for the flower centre and green for the stem **Hook:** US E / 3.5mm **Additional info:** You'll also need a bamboo skewer, thin dowel, pipe cleaner, or floral wire to make the stems.  **Size:** I used worsted weight yarn and a size E hook, which produced a large 5"x2" (13x5cm) tall flower. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.) Try using a finer yarn or crochet thread with a correspondingly smaller hook to give a more compact flower.
