Tip:
Use a variety of yarn colors and textures to make your crochet plants look more realistic and fun!
Materials Needed:
- Yarn in the desired colors for the hanging basket, the dirt, and the plant.
- A 4.5 millimeter crochet hook.
- Stitch marker or a piece of yarn.
- Scissors.
Basket Pattern:
Start with a Magic Ring:
- Loop the yarn to form an X, insert your hook underneath the first strand, pull the working yarn through to create a loop, then chain one to secure it.
Round 1:
- Make 8 single crochets inside the magic ring, pull the tail to close the ring.
For Round 2:
- Make 2 single crochets in each stitch around (16 single crochets total).
Round 3:
- Do 3 single crochets, followed by an increase (2 single crochets in one stitch). Repeat this sequence for the entire round to end up with 20 stitches.
Next Rounds:
- Continue with one single crochet in each stitch around for a number of rows until the pot starts to curve inward. The exact number of rows will be mentioned in the video (not specified here).
Final Round for the Basket:
- Chain 2, then perform a double crochet in the same stitch. Continue with double crochets all around. To create the hanging loop, chain 40 at the end of the round, cut the yarn leaving a tail, and pull through to secure.
For the Hanging Straps:
- Count 6 stitches over, attach yarn, and chain 40. Repeat this step three times to create three evenly spaced hanging loops.
Dirt Pattern:
Start with a Magic Ring:
- Begin with 8 single crochets in the magic ring, pull the tail to tighten.
Next Rounds:
- Increase in each stitch around, following the video’s instructions for the number of rounds (usually, a couple of rounds to get a flat circle that matches the size of the basket’s opening).
Plant Pattern:
- Start with a Slip Knot and Chain 2.
- In the first chain from the hook, work 4 double crochets.
Create a Bobble Stitch:
- Remove your hook from the loop, insert it from front to back through the top of the first double crochet, reinsert it into the working loop, and pull it tight.
- Chain as instructed for the stem’s length, and create more bobble stitches at set intervals for the leaves.
Construct Different Stems:
- Create various lengths of stems with chains and bobble stitches as described in your pattern, to mimic a more natural-looking plant.
Assembly:
Attach the “Dirt” to the Basket:
- Sew the brown “dirt” part inside the basket’s opening.
Attach the Plant:
- Sew the plant part onto the “dirt,” arranging the stems as preferred.
Finish:
- Hide all leftover yarn tails by weaving them into your work.
