Crochet Hanging Plant Tutorial

• The presenter introduces the required tools and materials:
  • Scissors
  • Stitch markers (or alternatives like paper clips)
  • Needle for weaving
  • A crochet hook (3.75 mm used by the presenter)
  • Yarn in three colors: one for the pot, one for dirt, and one for leaves (size 4 yarn is used in the demonstration but other yarn sizes are optional).

Creating the Pot

• The pot is crocheted first, beginning with the pot color yarn.
• Base of the Pot:
  • The project starts with a magic circle.
  • Rows involve single crochets, increases, and slip stitches for joining.
• Building the Height of the Pot:
  • Transition to single crochets in the back loops for one row to create an edge and provide structure.
  • The rest of the pot’s height is completed by single crochets through both loops in successive rows.
  • Once the desired height is achieved, a rim is added by double crocheting through the back loops of the final row.

Creating the Dirt

• A new yarn color is introduced to mimic the dirt in the pot.
• This section is worked flat starting from a magic circle, expanding outward using a pattern similar to the pot’s base.
• The final row involves leaving a long tail to sew the dirt piece onto the inside of the pot later.

Making the Leaves

• The leaves are created with green yarn, and a smaller hook is used to ensure tighter stitches for a more delicate look.
• Each leaf is crocheted as follows:
  • Begin with a chain to define the length of the leaf.
  • Use a combination of single crochets and half double crochets for shaping.
  • The leaf pattern is mirrored on both sides, creating a symmetrical appearance.
• Multiple leaves are made to attach to the dirt. The length and number of leaves depend on the desired fullness of the final plant.

Adding Flowers

• Flowers are crocheted in white yarn with a pink center.
• The process involves creating petals with chains and double crochets in a magic circle.
• A pink yarn center is added by weaving through the middle of the flower.
• Flowers are sewn onto the leaves as desired for decoration.

Assembling the Plant

• Assembly begins by attaching the dirt into the pot. The dirt piece is sewn along the edges to secure it.
• Leaves are threaded through the holes in the dirt and adjusted for the desired arrangement. Knots are tied to keep them in place.
• Decorative options for arrangement, like adding more stuffing or adjusting leaf placement, are discussed.

Adding the Hanging Feature

• Chains are created to allow the finished pot to hang. The length and placement of hanging chains are customizable.
• The chains are attached evenly around the pot at marked points for balance.

Final Touches

• Flowers are sewn onto the leaves or dirt for decoration.
• A suggestion to add a cute face to the pot is mentioned as an optional finishing touch.
• The completed plant can now hang as a decorative crochet project.
