Every bouquet needs something to hold it together, a little twist, a little tension, something that says “I’m not your average bunch of flowers.” At Kootsiko, that something is the Spellvine. 🖤

It’s that thin, black, swirling vine you see in my photos. The one that seems to curl through the air on its own, like it’s alive… or enchanted. It doesn’t just tie bouquets. It casts a mood.

The Story Behind the Spellvine

The idea came to me after watching Maleficent the moment when the forest comes alive under her magic. The way vines grow, twist, and protect… how beauty and darkness coexist, wild and graceful all at once. That scene stayed in my head. I wanted something that carried that same energy: delicate yet powerful, organic yet otherworldly. Something that looked like it could come straight out of an enchanted forest… or Maleficent’s garden.

So, I designed a vine that could bring that feeling to life in yarn form: the Spellvine. It had to swirl, it had to hold, it had to move. And, of course, it had to be black because no one tells a better love story than shadow and light. But try it in every color you can imagine. The Spellvine is just as magical in deep reds, mossy greens, purples or ghostly whites.

The Free Pattern

The Spellvine is incredibly simple to make. Just a few single crochet stitches and a bit of wire, and suddenly you have something that feels alive between your fingers.

You can twist it, shape it, wrap it around bouquets, or let it spiral freely. It turns every bouquet into something a little more dramatic and weird. A little more Kootsiko.
