Materials Needed:
- Yarn (Medium size, brand preferred from Hobby Lobby)
- Color for the pot, leaves, and dirt
- Polyfill
- Size H crochet hook
- Scissors
- Sewing needle
Leaves Pattern:
Starting with a Slip Knot: Wrap the yarn around two fingers, push the tail through, and pull up to secure.
Chain 35 (or adjust based on desired leaf length).
In the Back Loop Only: Skip the very first chain from the hook, then insert the hook into the back loop, yarn over, draw up a loop, and make a single crochet by pulling through both loops on the hook.
In the Same Space: Repeat the single crochet two more times for a total of three single crochets in the same space.
Continue Down the Chain: Only working into the back loop, place another three single crochets in each successive space all the way down the chain. The piece will start to curl slightly.
Ending: On the last stitch, if difficult to work into the back loop, working through two loops is acceptable for ease. Pull the yarn through on the last stitch and secure tightly.
Making the Pot:
Magic Ring: Holding the yarn tail between your thumb and middle finger, make an X, then flip, go under, grab the yarn, twist, and pull through to start with a magic circle.
Start with 13 Double Crochets in the circle, counting a chain of three as the first double crochet.
Pull the Tail to close the circle tightly and slip stitch to join.
Second Round: Chain three (counts as the first double crochet), then make two double crochets in each space around for a total of 28 double crochets, joining with a slip stitch to the first double crochet (not the chain three).
Create the Sides: Chain one and start with back loop only, do half-double crochets all the way around for six rows (or adjust based on the desired pot height), joining each row with a slip stitch.
Attaching the Leaves to the Pot:
- Chain 40 for the first strap and secure by cutting the yarn with a long tail for sewing.
- Attach Additional Straps as desired, distributing evenly around the pot. Secure each by sewing into place and tying off securely.
- Fill the Pot lightly with polyfill to give it shape.
Making the Dirt:
- With the Soil Color Yarn: Repeat the magic ring process. And double crochet process (14 double crochets, then 28 for the increase round).
- Attach the Leaves: by pulling through the center of the soil piece and securing with knots as necessary.
Final Assembly:
- Sew the dirt piece on top of the pot, securely fastening all around.
- Finish off by sewing any loose ends and adjusting the leaves as needed for fullness and shape.
Notes:
- Make sure all yarn used is the same size to ensure consistency in the final product.
- For a snug fit and neat appearance, only work in back loops unless specified.
- Customize the length of your chains for the leaves to achieve varied lengths for a more natural look.
Conclusion:
This project is versatile and allows for customization in size, color, and number of leaves. Enjoy your craft and be sure to secure all components tightly for a durable, beautiful hanging donkey tail plant.
