Hello crafters!

Now that spring is upon us, all I can think about is gardening, planting and my little seedlings 🙂 Luckily I have managed to incorporate crochet into my gardening plans, crochet always finds a way!

Spruce up your plants and make some awesome home decor with my crochet flower pots pattern. This pattern is for a 4.5″ flower pot but I hope to release some other sizes soon! If you are a more experienced crocheter you can probably use this pattern as a template to make any size pot that you need 🙂

Supplies needed for this project

• 4.5 inch flower pot liner
• 5mm crochet hook
• Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn (or any medium weight yarn, marked with a 4)

This pattern uses two colours to create a cool design but if you would prefer you can use just one colour throughout for a simpler flower pot.

Skills required to make your flower pots

To complete this pattern you will need to know single crochet, half double crochet and how to change colour while crocheting.

For an in-depth look at colour change you can check out my tutorial here.

You will also need to know:

• FLO : crochet into the front loop only
• BLO: crochet into the back loop only

If it doesn’t specify FLO or BLO then you can just crochet into both loops like you normally would.

Each round is joined with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the round.

If you are feeling a bit of confusion with the colour change spots here is a chart of the colour change rows.

Using your flower pots

Once you have finished up your crochet flower pots you will need to insert your flower pot liners. I found a 5 pack of pots for $1.99 which sounded like a great deal to me!

Insert your liner into the crochet pot and pull up the crochet part so that it covers the pot. I put a coffee filter in the bottom of each pot to stop the soil from coming out through the bottom.

Now for the fun part: re-homing your plant babies! Add soil to your pot about half way, add desired plants, top off with more soil and enjoy 🙂

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and are now surrounded by yarn-bombed plants!

If you have any questions about the pattern or would like to share your comments I would love to hear from you down below in the comment section.

Happy crafting!
