Begin the Pattern
A. Flower Center (Yellow Part)
- Make two chains (ch 2).
- In the second chain from the hook, work 8 hdc. Pull the starting tail to close the ring.
- Join with a sl st to the first hdc to close the round.
- Now, make 8 sc (one in each st) all around the yellow circle.
- Join with a sl st in the starting chain. Fasten off.
B. Flower Back (Green Base)
- With green, make a magic ring (or ch 2, as above).
- Work 8 hdc into the ring. Pull tight to close.
- Join with a sl st to first st. Cut thread and fasten off.
- Place the green and yellow circles wrong sides together. You’ll join these when adding petals.
C. Flower Petals (Pink or Any Color)
- Add chosen petal color (e.g., pink) where the two circles meet. Insert hook through both yellow and green edges.
- (For each petal; repeat in each pair of adjacent sts—8 total):
- Pull up a loop, ch 1.
- Sc in the same space through both yellow and green. (This secures the circles together.)
- Repeat for total of 8 sc around, joining both circles.
- For petals:
- Ch 3, in next st (through both circles) work: [2 dc], ch 3, sl st in same st.
- Next, ch 3, sl st in next st, repeat the petal sequence:
- (ch 3, [2 dc] in next st, ch 3, sl st in same st) around until you have 8 petals.
- Fasten off and weave ends in.
D. Leaves with Wire (Make 2)
- With green, ch 8.
- Cut wire a bit longer than the chain.
- Place the wire along the chain; you’ll crochet around it for support.
- Work back along the chain as follows (one st into each ch, covering the wire):
- In 2nd ch from hook: sc
- Next ch: hdc
- Next 3 ch: dc in each (for total 3 dc)
- Next ch: hdc
- Last ch: sc, ch 2, sc in same ch (to round the tip)
- Work down the opposite side (working over wire):
- hdc in next st, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next, sc in last.
- Sl st at the base. Cut yarn, leave a long tail for wrapping/winding over visible wire. Wrap bottom wire with yarn and knot to secure. Trim excess.
E. Pot
- Start with a magic ring, work 8 sc into ring.
- Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (16 sc).
- Rnd 3: (sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) around (24 sc).
- Rnd 4: In BLO, sc in each st around (for a crisp pot base edge) (24 sc).
- Rnd 5–9: sc in each st around (24 sc). (Work even, not in BLO.)
- Rnd 10 (Pot Edge): Reverse sc (crab stitch) in each st around, join with sl st, fasten off. (Gives pot a neat, sturdy top edge.)
F. Pot Soil (Brown)
- Repeat Steps 1-3 from the Pot (8 sc, inc to 16 sc, inc to 24).
- Finish off; leave tail for sewing.
G. Pot Stand (Base)
- Pick up yarn and with pot upside down, join yarn to BLO from round 3 (24 sc round).
- Work sl st in each st around for a sturdy base.
- Fasten off.
Assembly & Finished Size
- Stuff the Pot: Place cotton/stuffing inside the pot for firmness.
- Attach the Soil Disc: Place brown disc atop stuffing and sew around inner edge with yarn needle, picking up loops from the reverse sc at pot edge.
- Insert Stem: Carefully poke the wire-wrapped flower stem through the "soil" disc and into stuffing for security. Use glue if desired.
- Attach Leaves: Secure the wire ends and position leaves attractively near the base of the flower/stem. Wrap any visible wire with green yarn for a tidy finish.
- Shape and Finish: Adjust flower and leaves for best look. Make sure the flower is upright and the pot stands flat from the base.
