Step 1: Making the Pot
- Row 1: Start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochets into the magic ring. Pull the yarn tightly after making 8 single crochets and make a slip stitch into the first stitch to end Row 1. Chain 1 to start Row 2.
- Row 2: Make an increase in all stitches. Insert your hook into the first stitch and make one single crochet, then insert again and make another single crochet. Repeat this pattern (8 increases). Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain 1 to start Row 3.
- Row 3: Into the first stitch, make a single crochet. Into the next stitch, make an increase. Repeat this pattern (1 single crochet, 1 increase) for 7 more times. Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain 1 to start Row 4.
- Row 4: Into the first two stitches, make one single crochet each. Into the next stitch, make an increase. Repeat this pattern (2 single crochets, 1 increase) for 7 more times. Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain 1 to start Row 5.
- Row 5: Crochet in the back loops only. Make one single crochet in each stitch (32 stitches in total). Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain 1 to start Row 6.
- Rows 6-11: Make one single crochet in each stitch (32 stitches in total) crocheting in both loops. Slip stitch into the first stitch at the end of each row.
- Row 12: Crochet in the front loops only. Make one single crochet in each stitch (32 stitches in total). Slip stitch into the first stitch.
- Row 13: Make one single crochet in each stitch (32 stitches in total) crocheting in both loops. Slip stitch into the first stitch, chain 1, fasten off, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
Step 2: Making the Soil
- Row 1: Make a magic ring and 8 single crochets into it. Tighten the loop leaving a small hole in the center. Slip stitch into the first stitch. Follow the pattern for the remaining part to complete the soil base.
- After finishing the last row, slip stitch, chain 1 to fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing, and cut the yarn.
Step 3: Making the Tulip Bud
- Row 1: Start with a magic ring and make 6 single crochets into it. Pull the yarn tightly and mark the last stitch with a stitch marker.
- Row 2: Make an increase in all stitches (6 increases in total).
- Row 3: Make one single crochet in the first stitch and an increase in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (1 single crochet, 1 increase) for 5 more times.
- Row 4: Make two single crochets followed by an increase. Repeat this pattern (2 single crochets, 1 increase) for 5 more times.
- Rows 5-10: Make one single crochet in each stitch (24 stitches in each row). Slip stitch into the next stitch, chain 1 to fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing, and cut the yarn.
- Stuff the tulip bud with some cotton and sew a cross stitch in the last row.
Step 4: Making the Leaves
- Prepare a 16 cm piece of wire.
- Make a slip knot and 12 chains. Place the wire on the working yarn and crochet along with it.
- In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet, then make a half double crochet in the next chain. Continue with 6 more half double crochets.
- Make 3 single crochets, chain 2, then work back into the same chain and make another single crochet.
- On the opposite side of the chains, make single crochets, half double crochets, and finally a single crochet in the last chain. Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain 1 to fasten off, cut the yarn, and wrap yarn around the wire. Make a knot to secure.
Step 5: Assembling the Pot
- Stuff the pot with cotton.
- Sew the pot and soil together.
- Prepare a 10 cm piece of wire. Apply glue and wrap green yarn around it to form the branch.
- Insert the wire through the center of the tulip bud.
- Wrap the yarn around the branch, tie a second bud and leaves onto the branch, and continue wrapping to secure everything. Apply glue to the end to finish.
