I am so excited to share my newest creation! I was inspired by the viral Monstera Leaf coasters in the little pots, but decided to put a St. Patrick’s Day spin on it.
*If you do not crochet and would like to purchase a set, you can do so here in my Etsy shop!*
To start, I used a shamrock pattern found on youtube by RonariCrochet. You can find the link here. It is very quick to make and comes out absolutely adorable. I used Hobby Lobby ‘I love this cotton’ yarn in the color Serene Spa and my trusty Clover Armour 5.0mm hook. The only changes I made were to the stem. I preferred mine a little shorter.
The pot is my own pattern, super quick and easy to whip up. Here’s how I did it:
Materials needed:
- I Love This Cotton, Serene Spa color
- small amount of Wool Ease thick and quick yarn. I used black tweed.
- 6.5mm crochet hook
- tapestry needle for weaving in ends
- optional: faux leather tag
Abbreviations:
- ch- chain
- HDC- half double crochet
- sts- stitches
- HDC2TOG- half double crochet 2 stitches together (decrease)
Instructions:
NOTE: All rounds are joined to the first stitch. First stitch of each round is placed in the same stitch as join.
- Begin with a magic circle, HDC 9, close circle and join to 1st stitch. (9 sts)
- ch1, 2 HDC in each stitch around, add 2 HDC into space where you slip stitched the previous row. (20 sts)
- ch1, [HDC in first stitch, 1 HDC in next] *repeat around. (30 sts)
- ch1, HDC in back loop only of each stitch around. (30 sts)
- ch1, HDC in each stitch around. (30 sts)
- ch1, HDC in each stitch around. (30 sts)
- ch1, [HDC in first 3 sts, HDC2TOG .] *repeat around. Join to first stich and weave in ends. I like to use the invisible join, there are some great tutorials on youtube.
To finish off I cut a piece of faux leather and attached it to the pot with a chicago tag. You can also sew on a tag, add a button, or decorate however you want.
