✏️ Things To Note:
- Yarn size: I used worsted weight for the crochet potted flower pattern, but you can use any size yarn. It would be cute to use a chunky yarn and then add a face and some legs for a crochet jellycat inspired flower design.
- Finished size: The crochet forget me not pattern is roughly 5.5 inches tall when completed.
- Increases: To create a slightly flatter bottom, I made the first 3 rounds of the pattern using an increase of 8 and then switched to an increase of 6 - so keep that in mind when crocheting the pattern.

🐌Expert Tips
- If your crochet stitches are loose and you see stuffing, try going down a hook size next time, this will keep your stitches tight and the crochet plant amigurumi looking professional.
- Alternatively, to the point made above, instead of doing normal crochet stitches, you can crochet using the yarn under method. This naturally creates tighter stitches without having to change hook sizes if that isn't an option for you.
- Although sewing is sometimes a pain when it comes to crocheting, try not to glue the pieces on instead. Glue becomes weak after some time and the pieces can fall off. Also since it is amigurumi, there is a chance that it might get washed and the glue will weaken if that happens. Sewing is the best way to go.
🧵Pattern FAQs
It helps keep a flatter bottom and then slowly rounds up the sides. In the end, you can always do the vase in all increases of 6, it doesn’t make a huge difference, I just prefer it this way.
Before closing the vase with the soil, add a piece of cardboard to the inside at the bottom, then add something heavy like pebbles and marbles. Then stuff the rest with polyfill. This will add weight and stability to your crochet potted flower pattern.
This is a very forgiving pattern and can be used with any type of yarn. Dk, chunky, cotton, acrylic etc.
