When I posted my "Here Comes the Sun" project yesterday, I realized I completely forgot to post about the crocheted flower pot cover! Tsk tsk.
The pattern is so simple! Just chain until you can wrap the piece around your pot ( I used a plain terracotta pot) and join to create a huge ring. Single crochet in each stitch around changing colors every 2 rows. Be sure to increase evenly every other row if your pot gets wider at the top like mine. I used lily sugar n cream cotton and I added a simple shell border on the top ( 5dc in one stitch, skip 1 st, sc in next st, skip 1 st, 5dc in next stitch, repeat).
I can't wait to make some more for the summer!
Beautiful....lovely and bright....just right now Spring is here and also the sun!
ReplyDeleteMakes it look a very happy pot

So cue. I have been seeing this on all of my favorite crochet blogs, but have not made one yet. Perhaps this week! Sure does add charm!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day!!

So much prettier than an orangey-coloured terracotta pot!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable and so colorful!

How pretty and creative. I crochet too, but wouldn't have thought to cover a flower pot. Then again, I am deep into this afghan project I started about 2 years ago. Picked it up a few months ago and swore I would not crochet anything else until it's done. I'm down to crocheting 2 more colors of squares. Maybe there is light at the end of tunnel!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and am your newest follower. I'll come back to see some of your new designs soon.
Your instructions make this seem so easy. I think I will try it. I love the scallops and the bright cheery stripes. I may try to cover a little tin can to hold my pens and pencils.
ReplyDeleteFollowed your pattern today. Super easy! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI love this flowerpot cover so much! I'd love to have it be the crochet-along project we make on my blog for May if that's ok :) http://hopscotchlane.blogspot.com/
