Supplies:
Size 12 crochet hookCaramel color embroidery floss
Green embroidery floss
Very small amount of stuffing
Ring
Single crochet spike stitch (SPsc): Insert hook in indicated stitch, draw up a loop to the height of the stitches of the working round, yarn over, pull yarn through both loops on hook.
Pot: Caramel color
1 - 7 Sc in magic circle
2 - Inc around - 14
3 - BLO, (inc, sc)*7 - 21
(In the next round, we begin alternating single crochet and spike single crochet (Spsc) stitches. All spike stitches are worked into the round below.)
4 - In both loops, (Sc, Spsc)*10, Sc - 21
5 - (Spsc, sc)*10, Spsc - 21
6 - (Sc, Spsc)*10, sc - 21
7 - (Spsc, Sc)*10, Spsc - 21
8 - (Sc, Spsc)*10, Sc - 21
9 - (Spsc, Sc)*10, Spsc - 21
Finish off
Plant: In green, about 11 leaves
Chain 5
In 2nd ch from hook, (sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc), in next st (dc, hdc, ch, sl st), (sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc), (dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st) - you now have 2 leaves.
The rest of the plant is a little tricky, but easier in practice than to explain. Fold/roll the leaves into the final position you will want them in, then, instead of working in normal rounds, the rest of the stitches will be worked into the base of the leaves. It's pretty much at your discretion where you want the base of the next leaf located. Also, you can adjust how many leaves you make.
[(Sl st, ch 1, hdc, dc), (dc, hdc, ch 1, sl st)]*4
[(Sl st, ch 1, dc, tc), (tc, dc, ch 1, sl st)]*5
Finish off
(It may be a bit hard to distinguish between the leaves, but when you sew the plant onto the pot, the leaves pull away from each other and there's more texture to them.)
Sew the ring onto the top of the plant
Stuff pot and sew on plant
