Crochet Pot of Gold Pattern

Definitely! This crochet cauldron pattern can easily be transformed into a spooky cauldron for Halloween. By simply adjusting the colors and adding a few embellishments, you can turn it into a fun and festive decoration for the season. For example, you could use black or dark purple yarn instead of the typical gold colors to give it a more witchy feel.

If you want to turn your pot of gold into a plushie and add a top, here’s how you can do it:

To begin, you’ll need to create a circular disk that will serve as the top of the pot. Use gold yarn to match the theme of the pot of gold. Start by making a magic ring, and then work in rounds to form the shape. Begin with 6 single crochets (sc) in the ring, and continue increasing each round to create a smooth, flat disk. Work the following rounds: 6 sc in the first round, 12 sc in the second round, 18 sc in the third round, 24 sc in the fourth round, and 30 sc in the final round. This increasing pattern will give you a nice, rounded top that fits snugly on the opening of the pot.

Once you have the disk completed, you can sew it onto the top of the pot. To do this, use the back loops of the front loop-only (flo) row you worked earlier. This will ensure a clean and neat finish where the top attaches. Use a yarn needle to carefully stitch the disk in place, making sure it’s secure but still leaves a bit of space for the pot to remain open.

For an extra festive touch, you can embellish the top by adding little crochet coins. To make these, start with a magic ring and work 6 single crochets into the ring. Fasten it off and sew the coin onto the top of the pot. You can make a few of these tiny coins and scatter them across the top for a more decorative and whimsical look. This little addition will give your plushie pot of gold a charming and authentic feel, making it even more delightful as a crochet project!

The small pot of gold is incredibly versatile and can hold a variety of things, depending on your needs. Personally, I love using it to store little treats for my kids—whether it’s candies, chocolates, or small snacks, it makes for an adorable and fun way to present little goodies. It’s the perfect size to use as a treat holder for special occasions, like St. Patrick's Day, Easter, or even as a surprise gift on Halloween.

Beyond that, this crochet cauldron also serves as a fantastic dice pouch for board games or tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. Its small size and secure closure make it ideal for storing your dice, ensuring they stay safe and organized while adding a bit of personality to your game nights. The soft, crocheted design also prevents your dice from rolling away, making it a practical yet cute addition to any game collection.
