Materials Needed:
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Green cotton yarn
Pattern:
Base of the Plant:
- Start by making a magic ring.
- Chain one (this counts as the first single crochet).
- Make 5 single crochets into the magic ring, bringing your total stitches to 6.
- Pull the tail yarn to close the ring.
- Slip stitch to the first stitch to join and complete the circle.
Round 2: (Increasing):
- Chain one, then make a single crochet into the same stitch.
- Make two single crochets in each of the next stitches around.
- You should have 12 single crochets at the end of this round.
- Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join.
For Round 3: (Alternate Increasing):
- Chain one (counts as first single crochet).
- One single crochet in the next stitch, two single crochets in the following stitch (repeat - around).
- You should end up with 18 single crochets.
- Slip stitch to join the round.
Round 4: (Creating more Increases):
- Chain one.
- One single crochet in the next two stitches, two single crochets in the third stitch (repeat - around).
- You should have 24 single crochets at end of this round.
- Slip stitch to first stitch to join.
Making the Leaves:
- Attach yarn to any stitch on the circular base.
- Chain two, skip one stitch, single crochet in the next stitch.
- Repeat the pattern (Chain two, skip one, single crochet in next) around until you have three chain-two spaces.
- In the first chain space, slip stitch and then chain one.
- Make a single crochet, half double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch all in the same chain space to form the first leaf.
Repeat this process for each chain space to create three leaves. Continue this sequence by adding more rounds as per the required size of the plant, increasing the detail and size of each leaf group with every additional round.
Finishing:
- After you finish the last round of leaves, slip stitch to join and then cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
- Use the tail to sew the crochet plant to a suitable base, ensuring it stands upright and is secure.
