Notes

  1. 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.
  2. Finished size: The crochet forget me not pattern is roughly 5.5 inches tall when completed.
  3. 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.

Instructions

Crochet Soil:

  • Round 1: With the brown yarn, make a mr and sc x6 into the circle. Pull tight.
  • Round 2: Inc in every stitch (12).
  • Round 3: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (18).
  • Round 4: Inc, sc x2. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24).
  • Round 5: Inc, sc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (30).
  • Round 6: Inc, sc x4. Then repeat for the rest of the round (36). Fasten off the yarn and weave in the end.

Crochet Vase:

  • Round 1: With the light blue yarn, make a mr and sc x8 into the circle. Pull tight.
  • Round 2: Inc in every stitch (16).
  • Round 3: Inc, sc. Then repeat for the rest of the round (24).
  • Round 4: Inc, sc x3. Then repeat for the rest of the round (30).
  • Round 5: Inc, sc x4. Then repeat for the rest of the round (36).
  • Round 6: Inc, sc x5. Then repeat for the rest of the round (42).
  • Round 7-16: Sc in every stitch (42).
  • Round 17: Dec, sc x5. Then repeat for the rest of the round (36).
  • Round 18: This is where we will be crocheting the soil to the vase.
  • With the right side facing up on the soil, sc the vase and soil together by going through all 4 loops (the top 2 loops from each of the pieces) (36). Before crocheting the vase closed, make sure you stuff it with polyfill.
  • Round 19: This will create the frilly edge of the vase. Make a sl st, then *hdc + dc into the next stitch. Dc + hdc into the following stitch. Then sl st into the next. Repeat from * for the rest of the round. Make a sl st into the first sl st you made in the round.

Crochet Forget Me Not flowers:

  • Round 1: With the yellow yarn, make a mr and then sc x5 into the circle. Pull tight, then sl st to the first sc you made and fasten off the yarn
  • Round 2: Join the delft blue yarn into any of the stitches. Then *ch x2, and dc x2 into the same stitch you joined the yarn to. Sl st into the next stitch. Repeat from * for 4 more times.
  • When you finish the round, make a sl st where you joined the blue yarn. Now fasten off the yarn and leave a tail for sewing.
  • Make 3 crochet forget me nots.

Crochet Leaves:

  • With the green yarn, ch x9.
  • Follow this sequence of stitches, starting in the second ch from the hook: sl st, sc, hdc, dc x2, hdc, sc, sl st. You should be at the end of the chain. Now make a chain and flip to the unworked side of the foundation chain. Follow the sequence again: sl st, sc, hdc, dc x2, hdc, sc, sl st. Then fasten off the yarn and leave a tail for sewing.
  • Make 3 leaves.

Sewing:

  • Sew the leaves on to the top of the soil, make sure they are evenly spaced and radiating from the center.
  • Sew the crochet forget me nots to the top of the vase anyway you would like, I had one crochet flower in the space between each of the leaves.
  • And now you have a finished crochet potted forget me not plant!
