Rounds 7-12: Single crochet in each stitch around (30 stitches for 6 rounds)

Round 13: Slip stitch and chain 1; repeat around. Slip the stitch into the same stitch as the starting slip stitch. Fasten off and weave in ends.

 

Measure the pot's base and use cardboard to make a circle.

 

Leaves (make 2)

Chain 7, slip stitch in second chain from hook and next chain, single crochet in next 2 chains, half double crochet in last 2 chains (6 stitches).

Leave a long tail for stitching with a wool needle and bind off.

 

Heart

Round 1: Make 6 single crochet using a magic ring.

Round 2: Now increase in each stitch. Total 12 stitches.

Round 3: Single crochet in each stitch. Bind off, leaving a tail of approximately 10cm for sewing.

 

Continuation of Heart:

Repeat Rounds 1-3 without binding off.

Round 2: In the next round, join the two pieces to form the heart's top.

Round 3: Make 6 single crochet on the second piece, then 12 single crochet on the first piece (starting in the first stitch of the last round), make 6 single crochet on the second piece (24 stitches total).

Hem up the opening between the two parts using the yarn tail that's left over from the first piece. Tie a knot to secure it.

Round 4: Single crochet in each stitch around (24 stitches). Stuff the heart as you go.

Rounds 5-6: Single crochet in each stitch around (12 stitches for 2 rounds).

Round 7: Decrease in each stitch around (6 stitches). Cut the yarn, leaving a tail, and pull through the last stitch. Thread the yarn tail through only the front loops of the last round without tightening. Set aside.

 

Soil

Round 1: Form a magic ring and work 6 single crochet stitches into it.

Round 2: Increase in each stitch around.

Round 3: Single crochet in next stitch, increase; repeat around (18 stitches)

Round 4: Single crochet, increase, single crochet in next 2 stitches, increase; repeat around, single crochet in the last stitch (24 stitches)

Round 5: Single crochet in next 7 stitches, increase; repeat 3 times (27 stitches)

Rounds 6-9: Single crochet in each stitch around (27 stitches for 4 rounds)

Round 10: Single crochet in next 7 stitches, decrease; repeat 3 times (24 stitches)

Round 11: Single crochet in next stitch, decrease; repeat 8 times (16 stitches). Leave the yarn attached and set aside while you prepare the stem.

 

Stem:

●     Use pliers to shape one end of the wire into a 1/2 inch (1.5cm) wide circle. Insert it into the soil with the long end coming out from the center.

●     Trim the wire to your desired length plus 2cm (e.g., for a 4cm stem, make it 6cm long), and fold the end over by 1cm.

●     Continue crocheting at Round 12 of the soil, decreasing in each stitch around.

●     Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Bring up a long green yarn (about 40cm) through the soil's center.

●     Wrap the yarn around the wire tightly, ensuring no wire shows. Add fabric glue to secure.

●     Place the heart over the wire and wrap excess yarn around the bottom, securing it inside the heart.

●     Sew leaves to the soil on each stem side and weave in all green yarn ends.

●     Close the bottom of the soil by weaving the ending yarn tail through the front loops only of the final round, pulling it closed and hiding the end inside.

●     Place the soil inside the pot.
