Pattern Instructions

Flowerpot Base

Step 1: Bottom Circle

  1. Begin with a magic ring. Secure with a chain.
    Save
  2. Round 1: Work 6 SC inside the ring. Pull the yarn tail to close the loop.
  3. Round 2: Work 6 INC (2 SC in each stitch of the previous round). You should end with 12 SC.
  4. Round 3: Work 1 SC, 1 INC all around (repeat pattern). You should have 18 SC at the end.
  5. Round 4: Work 2 SC, 1 INC all around (repeat pattern). You should have 24 SC.
  6. Round 5: Work 3 SC, 1 INC all around (repeat pattern). End with 30 SC.
  7. Round 6: Work 4 SC, 1 INC all around. End with 36 SC.
  8. Round 7: Work 5 SC, 1 INC all around. End with 42 SC.
  9. Round 8: Work 6 SC, 1 INC all around. End with 48 SC.
  10. Round 9: Work 7 SC, 1 INC all around. End with 54 SC.

Step 2: Establish Height

  1. Round 10: Work 1 SC in BLO around (54 SC total). This creates the fold for transitioning into the vertical sides of the pot.
  2. Rounds 11–19: Continue crocheting 54 SC in each round to build the height of the pot.

Flowerpot Soil (Dirt)

  1. Follow the exact steps of the Flowerpot Base, stopping at Round 9 with 54 SC.
  2. Finish with a slip stitch, fasten off, and hide the yarn tail.

Filling the Flowerpot

  1. Optional Weighting: Insert a small lid (e.g., from a container) to stabilize the base.
    • Add weight with rice, stones, or other fillers inside a plastic bag. Tie the bag securely to avoid spillage.
    • Flatten the filling to distribute weight evenly.
  2. Stuffing: Use synthetic cotton or polyfill to fill the pot, leaving enough room for the soil layer, the flowers, and the stems.
  3. Attach Soil to Pot:
    • Match the soil layer’s stitches to the pot base (54 SC each).
    • Use a single crochet joining method: Pick up one stitch from the pot and one from the soil and work a SC. Repeat all the way around.
    • Do not cut the yarn, as you will continue working the pot border.

Pot Border

  1. Round 1 (Half Double Crochet Edge): CH 2 and work HDC all around (54 HDC).
  2. Round 2 (Zigzag Edge): Alternate 1 slip stitch and 1 chain stitch all around (zigzag effect).
    • Join with a final slip stitch. Fasten off and weave in the ends neatly.

Flowers (Daisy Pattern)

  1. Foundation Petals:
    • CH 27. Skip the last 3 chains and work 24 DC across the remaining chains.
  2. Petals:
    Each petal is crocheted as follows:

    • CH 10. Skip 3 chains and crochet:
      • 2 DC, 2 HDC, 2 SC, 1 SL ST across the chain.
        Save
    • Join the petal with a SL ST at the back loop of the next stitch.
  3. Continue working 12 petals (one in each back loop of the foundation row).

Flower Assembly

  1. Wrap the base of the petals around a wooden stick or stem with cold silicone glue, ensuring even distribution.
  2. Glue the petals securely, adjusting their position for symmetry.
  3. Save

Bud Pattern

  1. Foundation: Wrap 15 loops of yarn around your finger or a small object and secure them tightly.
    • Work SC all around the loops to shape the bud.
  2. Flatten and Close:
    • Compress the bud and secure the base with a tapestry needle.

Leaves and Flower Center

  1. Leaves: Crochet small leaf shapes by chaining 12 and working SC, HDC, and DC along both sides of the chain.
  2. Center: Crochet as follows:
    • Work a magic ring with 6 SC.
    • Work 6 INC for a total of 12 SC.
      Save
    • Work 1 SC in BLO around to create rounded edges. Attach the center to the flowers using cold silicone glue.

Pattern Variations

  1. Size Adjustment: Alter the pot pattern by increasing the circumference with extra rounds to accommodate more flowers.
  2. Color Variation:
    • Spring vibe: Use pastel tones for petals.
    • Summer vibe: Bright yellows and fiery reds.
