Potted Plant - Flower
Always green, always blooming, always pretty. :) And all that without watering. Even the location doesn't matter to this low-maintenance plant: sunny, shady, total darkness... From what other flower can you say that? :)
It even brings its own soil. Which, by the way, can be individually fitted to a pot of your liking. Tips on how to find the perfect size for your pot can be found within this pattern as well, of course.
Oh, and don't panik, this flower can be made almost without any kind of sewing! The petals and leaves are crocheted on during the pattern. So they always sit perfectly in place.
Skill Level:
easy to medium
Size:
The size depends on your gauge, chosen type of yarn and crochet hook size.
I'm using Puppets Lyric yarn (8/8, DK/Light-Worsted) from Coats and a 3 mm hook.
With that I get the following size/s:
17 cm (the part above the soil)
used Techniques
* magic ring
* chain
* single crochet

The pattern is very detailed. Almost every single step/stitch is explained in words and pictures. Special characteristics are explained step-by-step (i.e. crocheting the petals to the flower). You see, nothing can go wrong! :)

Hello!
I'm Stephanie, mother of three and I live with my family in Germany.
I've been crocheting for a while now. My kids got me to it. When there's no merchandising on the market for the current favorit comic figure you just have to make it yourself. That's how my first crocheted figure came to life. And with that my crochet addiction. :)
My patterns are for beginners and advanced crocheters alike. Stuffed with photos and detailed step-by-step instructions (I think you could call them photo-tutorials). I learned crocheting by myself and often found it quite frustrating to get stuck in the middle of a pattern just because some key-information was simply missing (as a beginner pretty much everything is key-information). That's why in my patterns almost everything is explained with words and photos.
I'm currently converting my older patterns into a new layout. Here on Makerist you can find all the patterns that already have the new layout plus all my new creations.
Have fun browsing through my patterns and happy crocheting!
- Steph :)
