DIY Crochet Hanging Plant

I've always wanted to have a plant because of how cute they looked, but they always end up dying the next week, no matter how hard I try to keep them alive and healthy. Luckily, I found a way to solve this problem. Crochet. With a crochet plant, you don't ever have to worry about your plant dying or making a mess ever again! It looks way cuter, is more convenient for many people (including me), and is super easy to make, so lets get started.

Level:Beginner+

Supplies

For this project, you will need...

A Crochet hook (the size depends on the yarn you're using)

Brown yarn (2 different shades)

Green yarn

White yarn (or any color, this is for the hanging feature)

Scissors

Yarn needle

Stitch marker

Stuffing

Super Glue

The abbreviations you need to know for this project are...

HDC-Half double crochet

DC-Double crochet

Dec-Decrease

Inc-Increase

SC-Single crochet

SS-Slip stitch

RND-Round

I hope you enjoy!

Note-There are NO Single Crochet stitches in the flowerpot, only Double Crochet stitches.

There is, however, Single Crochet stitches in the dirt.

The Flowerpot

RND 6-10: 48 DC. At the end, slip stitch into the first stitch.

When you are done with round 6, your work should begin to curve upward.

You do not need to go all the way to round eleven. If you want a small flowerpot, stop at round seven. If you want a medium size flowerpot, stop at round eight.

Cut the yarn and leave a three inch yarn tail. Sew the yarn tail into the inside of the flowerpot.

The Dirt

Use the color that you want to use for the dirt for the next steps.

Make a magic ring with 6 SC.

The Hanger

Chain 12 more and slip stitch your yarn into the fifth chain on the next loop. Tie off and repeat for all the other loops. Don't worry about all the extra ends. We'll sew those in at the end.

The Hanger

Count the 6th chain of the new hoop and make 27 chains, then slip stitch into the next 6th chain. Repeat. Only do this step if you made the full size flowerpot. Skip it if you made a medium or small flowerpot.
