With its distinctive star-shaped flowers adorning upright spikes, the Hyacinth is a much loved plant that the Victorians associated with playfulness and joviality. The flower’s symbolism is also tied to Greek mythology, supposedly being the name of a young Spartan prince who became close with the gods. In more modern times, Hyacinths are used widely as a flower of remembrance, many being left on the graves of loved ones to express devoted love that continues after death. Whether you intend to give this beautiful flower as an early spring symbol of fresh beginnings, or a wedding gift to symbolise love and devotion, this delightful crochet version will remain bright and cheerful for years to come.
