Pattern Steps:
Sunflower Center (Seep):
- Row 1: Start with a magic ring. Make 6 single crochets into the ring, pull tightly, then slip stitch into the first stitch.
- Row 2: Chain 1, make two single crochets in each stitch around (increase), repeat for total 6 increases, then slip stitch into the first stitch.
- Row 3: Chain 1, single crochet in the first stitch, increase in the next stitch, repeat ** around, then slip stitch into the first stitch.
- Row 4: Continue as above, increasing the number of single crochets between increases each row.
Stamens (Follow the same pattern as the Seep, but using brown yarn).
Petals:
- Hold the Seep and Stamens together, inserting the hook through corresponding stitches on each.
- Chain 2, make a double crochet and a treble crochet into the same stitch, repeat ** for each pair of stitches around the Seep.
- Chain 2 after each set of stitches, slip stitch to start the next set.
Leaves:
- Make a slip knot, then chain 8.
- Put the wire along the chain, crochet around the wire; single crochet in the second chain from hook, half double crochet in next, then double crochet accordingly, mirror the pattern along the other side of the chain.
Pot:
- Row 1: Magic ring, 8 single crochets, slip stitch to first stitch.
- Row 2: Chain 1, increase in every stitch, repeat ** around, then slip stitch.
- Continue increasing rows, changing the pattern to add texture to the pot (e.g., only working in back loops).

- Fasten off, weave ends.
Assembly:
- Sew the soil and the pot together.
- Affix the wire to the leaves, glue if necessary to secure.
