Fold three corners to the center and sew them together (I sewed only the corners, not the sides). This will create a small, unsealed envelope.
Blocking
If you used 100% cotton thread, you can use an iron to block your envelope. (Do not use an iron if you used acrylic yarn – it will melt!) Place a slightly damp cloth on top of your crocheted envelope. Lightly press cloth with a hot iron.
Lavender flower
For my envelope, I made 6 lavender flowers. Feel free to make more or less as desired.
Use crochet hook 6/1.8 mm and cotton crochet thread size 10.

Assembling
Arrange the lavender flowers in the envelope. You can use a glue gun to glue the flowers in place, or you can sew the flowers on.
I hope you enjoyed this lavender envelope free crochet pattern!
Happy Crocheting!
