Crocheted Plant Pot

Crocheted Plant Pot by Raven's Crochet

What Is Being Made

This is a decorative crocheted plant pot designed to hold small plants or flowers. The finished piece creates a functional yet artistic home decoration with an inner diameter of 12 cm and a height of 14 cm, making it suitable for compact indoor plants or succulents.

Materials Required

This project uses super chunky yarn in a single skein of 300g Hooked Jute in the Tea Rose colorway. A 12mm crochet hook is required to work with the yarn weight. The gauge is established as a Magic Circle plus 3 rows equaling a 10 cm diameter.

Crochet Techniques Used

The pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners. The Magic Circle technique is used to start the project, creating a closed center without a visible hole. This technique involves wrapping yarn around your fingers, inserting the hook, and working single crochets into the loop before pulling the tail-end to close the opening. The Back Loop technique is also utilized, where stitches are worked into only the back leg of the "V" formed by each stitch rather than under both loops, creating texture and visual interest in the finished piece.

Stitches Included

• Single Crochet (SC): The primary stitch used throughout the construction of the pot
• Increase Single Crochet (INC SC): Worked by completing two single crochets in the same stitch to add width and shaping to the pot
• Slip Knot: The foundation knot used to begin the Magic Circle

Skill Level

This project is rated as beginner difficulty, making it an excellent choice for those new to crochet. The pattern focuses on essential stitches and techniques without complex shaping or advanced maneuvers, allowing crafters to build confidence while creating a practical decorative item.
