Step by Step Pattern

1. Pot

The pot begins with a flat circular base followed by vertical shaping.

Base (Rounds 1–2)

1. Round 1:
   • Start with MR.
   • Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc).
   • Make 13 dc into the magic ring (14 dc total).
   • Pull the tail of the magic ring to close the circle tightly.
   • Sl st to the first dc to join.
   • Place a stitch marker in the first dc to mark the beginning of the round.
2. Round 2:
   • Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc).
   • Work 2 dc into each stitch around (28 dc).
   • Sl st to the first dc to join.

Wall of the Pot (Rounds 3–7)

3. Round 3:
   • Ch 3.
   • To make the border, crochet fpdc around each stitch in the previous round (28 stitches total).
   • Sl st to the first fpdc to join.
4. Rounds 4–7:
   • Ch 3. Work fpdc around each fpdc stitch from the previous round (28 fpdc per round).
   • Sl st to the first fpdc at the end of each round.

Note:

• The base (Rounds 1–2) creates the flat bottom, and Rounds 3–7 build the pot’s vertical wall.

Strings for Hanging

1. Choose a point on the top edge of the pot and reattach the beige yarn.
2. Ch 30, then fasten off, leaving a long tail to tie later.
3. Repeat this for two more strings, spacing each about 9 stitches apart from the previous one.
   • You should have 3 evenly spaced strings for hanging.

2. Soil

The soil is a flat disk with a small hole left in the center.

Pattern

1. Round 1:
   • Start with MR.
   • Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc).
   • Make 13 dc into the ring (14 dc).
   • Gently pull to close the hole slightly, leaving a small gap for the vines to be attached later.
   • Sl st to the first dc to join.
2. Round 2:
   • Ch 2 (counts as 1 hdc).
   • Work 2 hdc into each stitch around (28 hdc).
   • Sl st to the first hdc to join.

NOTE: Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. The small hole in the middle allows you to pull the vines through later.

3. Vines and Leaves

The vines are made separately and attached to the soil.

Leaf Vine

1. Start with a slip knot and leave a long tail for sewing.
2. Ch 14.
3. Leaf:
   • Work into the 4th ch from the hook:
     • 4 dc.
     • 1 tr.
     • Ch 2, sl st into the same st (forms a pico tip).
     • 1 tr.
     • 4 dc.
   • Sl st into the same ch.
4. Ch 14 to begin the next leaf and repeat the above process.
5. Make 3–5 leaves per vine, depending on the desired length.

Loops for Flowers

If desired, create two vines with loops for flowers:

1. Repeat steps 1–2 above.
2. Instead of making a leaf, ch 14 and sl st into the 5th ch from the hook to form a loop.
3. Repeat, making as many loops as you’d like.

4. Flowers

Each flower consists of 3 petals and a puff stitch center.

1. White Petals:
   • Start with MR and ch 3.
   • Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, sl st into the ring (1 petal).
   • Repeat two more times (3 petals total).
   • Pull yarn to close the ring, and fasten off.
2. Yellow Center:
   • Make a slip knot and ch 1.
   • Work 5 puff stitches into the loop:
     • Yo, insert hook, pull up a loop; repeat 3 more times for a total of 5 loops.
     • Yo, pull through all loops on the hook.
     • Ch 1 to close the puff.
   • Attach the center by pulling its tails through the center of the flower and knotting at the back.

Make 6 flowers in total and attach them to the loops or vines as desired.

4. Assembly

1. Attach Vines to Soil:
   • Arrange all vines (alternating lengths for a natural look).
   • Tie them together securely at the top.
   • Pull the tied end through the hole in the soil and knot at the back.
2. Sew Soil to Pot:
   • Place the soil inside the pot with the vines hanging through the center.
   • Sew the soil to the pot along the inner edge, leaving no gaps.
3. Attach Flowers:
   • Tie flowers onto vine loops or sew them directly onto the vines.
4. Final Knot:
   • Gather the 3 hanging strings and tie them into a secure top knot.
