Hanging Plant




Let's make a little no-sew hanging plant that will cheer up any space. I used a 3 mm crochet hook to make my plant so it is small but I think it would look really nice with a bigger hook and yarn, you can also have the flowers different shades and make it colorful or whatever color combination you like.
 
The Plant is going to measure 10 cm / 3,9 inches tall measuring the pot and vines but not the hanging loops.

Let's grow!

ABBREVIATIONS (U.S.):

R: round
ch: chain
inc: increase
dec: decrease
**: repeat to the end of round
(...) x...: repeat the inside of parentheses according to the indicated number, example: (...) x2
[...] total stitches at the end of round


SOIL:
 
With brown.

R1: 8 sc in mr, sl st to first st
R2: 1 ch, *sc inc* sl st to first st [16]
R3: 1 ch, *1 sc, sc inc* sl st to first st [24]
R4: 1 ch, *2 sc, sc inc* sl st to first st [32]
R5: 1 ch, *3 sc, sc inc* sl st to first st [40]

Break yarn.


FLOWERS:
 
With flower color.

You'll make as many as you want to put on your vines. I made five.

In a mr: (3 ch, sl st) x5

Cut the yarn, secure and hide the ends.



VINES AND LEAVES:
 
With green.

To start, insert the hook into a space between rounds 2-3 into what would be the post of a stitch of the soil, grab the green yarn and pull through. Now, we are going to chain up, how many chains will depend on the length of the vine you want.

I made 33 chains.

We will work up the chains placing a sl st into each ch, going form the end to the beginning of the chain but we'll place some leaves on the way up.

I've made smaller leaves and bigger leaves. For the smaller ones: chain 2, sl st into the same ch you made the last sl st, chain 2 once more and sl st into the same ch you made last sl st.
For the bigger leaves: chain 2, sl st into the same ch you made last sl st, chain 2 again, sl st into same ch you made last sl st, chain 2 once more and sl st into the same ch you made last sl st.

You can make leaves wherever you want, could be every a certain amount of stitches or just random.

Once you worked up the vine chain you'll make a sc into the soil (keep a loose tension when working this sc), you want to work this single crochet the same way we started, that means insert the hook through a stitch between R2-3 of soil (not too far away so it doesn't scrunch), yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops. 
 
When we want to add a flower, just insert the hook into the flower (can be wherever) and into the vine chain, yarn over, pull through all loops to complete a sl st and continue up the vine.

Make your vines of different lengths by adding or subtracting chains. Make some vines with only leaves and add flowers to some. 

Once you went around and are close to the first vine again, make your last vine on a space between R1-2. This will cover a little that space in the center so it doesn't look so empty. You could also keep working vines if you'd like to have some more.

When you have finished the vines, grab the loos ends and pull them through to the bottom of the soil, make a knot.









POT BASE:

Close every round with a sl st on the first st of round and start every round on the same st as sl st.

R1: 10 hdc in mr
R2: 2 ch, *hdc inc* sl st to first st [20]
R3: 2 ch, *1 hdc, hdc inc* sl st to first st [30]
R4: 2 ch, *2 hdc, hdc inc* sl st to first st [40]
R5: 1 ch, back loop only 40 sc [40]

REST OF POT:

We'll work in a spiral from here on.

R6-10: 40 sc [40]

Don't cut the yarn.

JOINING THE POT AND SOIL:

Attach the soil to the pot working sc all around. To do this, insert the hook through the stitch of the pot and then through the stitch of the soil and complete a sc. Stuff before you finish attaching the soil. To make the hanging loop don't cut the yarn.

FOR THE LOOPS:

Count 19 stitches from the last sc you made and mark it, chain 45 (or the length you'd like) and sl st into the marked stitch, then sl st into the following st and chain 45 again, place a sl st into the st before the very first chain.
Hide any loose end.
