This cute Flower in a Pot crochet pattern is very versatile. Hang it on a wall, from a door or cabinet, decorate a table, or incorporate it as an applique on another project – perhaps on a quilt or pillow. The finished piece measures about 15” tall by about 6.5” across the widest point. The flower is about 6.25” diameter. The pattern is fun to crochet with a variety of stitches and techniques to keep things interesting. The pattern calls for 4 shades of Red Heart Super Saver which is my “go to” yarn for craft projects because it keeps its shape. Soft yarn is not recommended, but, just in case, I’ve included a starch recipe.
