Basket bottom is the first ten rounds of https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3mq6vfpfn6eyerb/Single-Cro...

Then a round of single crochet in the back loops only, followed by a round of double crochet in the back loops only. Then, I began alternating front and back post double crochets around and around. Almost three rounds done, when I stopped to snap a photo and head bedward.

Ripped out the double crochet part and restarted with a 2.5 mm hook.

Well, the pot seems to be completed. I haven’t cut the yarn, just in case I need to change it to fit the eventual bouquet.

Six rounds of front/back post double crochets.
One round of single crochets.
One round of slip stitches in the sides of the single crochets.

It’s done! No cutting of yarn between flowers!
No fussy leaves that don’t really look like leaves!
I used a different pattern for the greenery and flowers: https://vivcrochets.com/flower-bouquet-coaster-crochet-pa...
It’s so much faster than the previous ones I tried. AND the flowers don’t flop at all! I believe I’ll use this for the rest of the kits.
