💐How to Crochet a Mini Flower Pot _ Crochet Tutorial for Beginners ☘️

Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. In this video, I'm going to show you how to crochet a beautiful flower pot in a very simple and easy way. So let's get started. These are the materials you're gonna need. For this crochet project, I'll be using yarn from this brand, Susan's Family 5. With a 2.5mm crochet hook. Now we're gonna make the pot. We're gonna start with a magic ring. For round 1 of the pot, we're gonna make 8 single crochets into the magic ring. After making 8 single crochets, pull the yarn tail tightly to close the magic ring. Then, make a slip stitch into the first stitch to complete round 1. To start round 2, we're gonna chain 1. For round 2, we're gonna make an increase in all the stitches. Insert your hook into the first stitch and make 1 single crochet. Then insert your hook into the same stitch again and make another single crochet to complete an increase. And mark this first stitch with a stitch marker. So just like this, we're gonna make an increase in the remaining 7 stitches. After making 8 increases, make a slip stitch into the first stitch to complete round 2. And chain 1 to start round 3. For round 3, make 1 single crochet in the first stitch. And mark the first stitch with a stitch marker. After that, make an increase in the second stitch. And repeat the pattern of 1 single crochet and 1 increase for 7 more times. So make 1 single crochet in the next stitch again. After that, make an increase in the next stitch. Continue repeating this pattern for a total of 8 times, and you will have a total of 24 stitches. At the end of round 3, make a slip stitch into the first stitch to complete the round. And chain 1 to start round 4. For round 4, make 1 single crochet in each of the first 2 stitches. After that, make an increase in the third stitch. And repeat the pattern of 2 single crochets and 1 increase for a total of 8 times, and you will have a total of 32 stitches. At the end of round 4, make a slip stitch into the first stitch. And chain 1 to start round 5. For round 5, make 1 single crochet in each of the first 3 stitches. After making 3 single crochets, make an increase in the fourth stitch. Then repeat the pattern of 3 single crochets and 1 increase for a total of 8 times, and you will have a total of 40 stitches. At the end of round 5, make a slip stitch into the first stitch. And chain 1 to start round 6. For round 6, we'll be working in the back loops of the stitches. These are the back loops, the loops at the back of each stitch. For round 6, make 1 single crochet in each of the first 4 stitches, working in the back loops only. Insert your hook into the back loop of the first stitch and make 1 single crochet. Then go into the back loop of the second stitch, make 1 single crochet. And the third one in the back loop of the third stitch. And the fourth one in the back loop of the fourth stitch. After making 4 single crochets, make an increase in the back loop of the next stitch. And repeat this pattern for a total of 8 times in this round, and you will have a total of 48 stitches. So again, single crochet into the back loop of the next 4 stitches. After 4 single crochets, make an increase in the back loop of the fifth stitch. And continue repeating this pattern until the end of the round. At the end of round 6, make a slip stitch into the first stitch. And chain 1 to start round 7. For round 7, we're gonna make 1 single crochet in each and every stitch. And there will be a total of 48 single crochets in this round. We're gonna crochet into both loops of the stitches. At the end of round 7, make a slip stitch into the first stitch to complete the round. And chain 1 to start the next round. Just like in the pattern above, rounds 7 to 14 are exactly the same. You just make 1 crochet in each stitch. And don't forget to connect with the slip stitch at the end and chain 1 at the beginning. Just like we did round 7, now we're gonna make up to round 14. This is how it looks like after round 14. Now we're gonna make round 15. First, chain 1. In the first 4 stitches, we're gonna make 1 single crochet in each stitch. After making 4 single crochets, we're gonna make a decrease. For a decrease, insert your hook into the front loop of the next stitch. Then into the front loop of the following stitch. Like this. You should now have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through to loops. Yarn over again and pull through the remaining to loops. And you've made a decrease. For this round, repeat the pattern of 4 single crochets and 1 decrease for a total of 8 times. So again, single crochet into the next 4 stitches. After 4 single crochets, make 1 decrease. And continue repeating this pattern until the end of the round. And you will have a total of 40 stitches. At the end of round 14, make a slip stitch into the first stitch. And chain 1 to start round 16. For round 16, we'll be working in the front loops only. These are the front loops of the stitches. Now insert your hook into the front loop of the first stitch. And make 1 single crochet. After that, skip 1 stitch. And make 4 double crochets into the front loop of the second stitch. So yarn over. Skip 1 stitch. And insert your hook into the front loop of the next stitch. Yarn over and pull through. Yarn over and pull through 2. Yarn over and pull through 2. Continue repeating this in the same loop until you have 4 double crochets. After making 4 double crochets in the same loop, skip 1 stitch again and make 1 single crochet into the front loop of the next stitch. Now skip 1 stitch again and make 4 double crochets into the next stitch, using only the front loop. After making 4 double crochets, skip 1 stitch again and make 1 single crochet in the front loop of the next stitch. And this is the little sequence you have to repeat. We will continue repeating this sequence until the end of the round. Now again skip 1 stitch and make 4 double crochets into the front loop of the second stitch. After making 4 double crochets, skip 1 stitch again and make 1 single crochet in the front loop of the next stitch. Then skip 1 stitch again and make 4 double crochets into the next stitch, using only the front loop. After 4 double crochets, skip 1 and make 1 single crochet again in the front loop of the second stitch. So continue repeating this sequence until the end of the round. Now I'm at the end of round 16. To finish this round, slip stitch into the first single crochet, this stitch right here. Then, chain 1. And cut the yarn. Hide the yarn tail inside the pot. Now we're gonna make single crochets around the bottom of the pot, using the remaining loops from round 6. Insert your hook into any loop from round 6. Then grab the new yarn and pull it through. Then, chain 1. Insert your hook into the same loop again and make 1 single crochet. Go into the next loop and make another single crochet. And continue making 1 single crochet in each and every loop all the way around. Then once you reach the start, insert your hook into the first single crochet and make a slip stitch. And chain 1. And cut the yarn. Pull the yarn tails inside the pot and tie them together to secure. And now we've finished making the pot. Now we're gonna make the soil. For the soil, we're gonna repeat round 1 to round 5 of the pot. First, make a magic ring. And then make 8 single crochets into the magic ring. After making 8 single crochets into the magic ring, when you pull the yarn tail to tighten the ring, leave a small hole in the center. We will insert the flower into this hole later. To finish round 1, insert your hook into the first stitch and make a slip stitch. Then chain 1 to start round 2. Now continue making rounds 2 to 5 the same way as rounds 2 to 5 of the pot. I've just finished making round 5. Now we will make a slip stitch into the first stitch. Then, chain 1. And cut the yarn leaving a long tail, about 40 centimeters. We will use this yarn tail to sew the pot and the soil together. And we've finished making the soil. Now we're gonna sew the pot and the soil together. First, stuff the pot with some cotton. You can add a few small gravel stones inside to make it sturdier. After that, place the soil piece on top of the pot and start sewing using a darning needle. Once you have finished sewing, insert your needle back into the pot and into a few other places for 2 or 3 more times to secure the yarn. And cut the yarn. Now we're gonna make the petals. We're gonna start with a slip knot. After making a slip knot, we're gonna make 7 chains. For the row 1, start from the second chain from the hook. Insert your hook into the second chain and make a single crochet. We're gonna mark this first stitch with a stitch marker. Then, in the next 4 chains, we're gonna make 1 half double crochet in each chain. To make a half double crochet, yarn over. Then insert your hook into the next chain. Yarn over and pull through. You'll have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops. And you've made a half double crochet. So just like that, continue making a half double crochet in each of the next 3 chains. After making a total of 4 half double crochets, we'll have 1 last chain left. We're gonna make 3 single crochets in this last chain. And now we're gonna turn our work and crochet on the other side of the chains. Do not crochet into this stitch. This is the stitch where we made 3 single crochets. Instead, crochet into the stitch next to the last chain. Now we're gonna make 1 half double crochet into the stitch I showed you previously. So yarn over. Insert your hook into the next stitch. And place the yarn tail over the hook so you can carry the yarn tail along. Yarn over and pull through. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops. And next, we're gonna make 3 more half double crochets. It means we make 1 half double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. And continue carrying that yarn tail. And now, there will be 1 last stitch left here. We're gonna make 1 single crochet in the last stitch. Then insert your hook into the first stitch and make a slip stitch. And chain 1 to start round 2. Now we need to prepare a piece of 0.5 millimeter wire about 16 centimeters long and bend it like this. We will crochet with the wire in this round. Now insert your hook into the first stitch. Then yarn over and pull through. Now grab the wire and place it on top of the working yarn and under your hook like this. Then, yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook to complete a single crochet. So just like this, continue making 6 more single crochets. After making a total of 7 single crochets, we will chain 2. Then make another single crochet in the same stitch. Now go into the next stitch and make 1 single crochet. Go into another make another single crochet. And continue making 1 single crochet in each of the remaining stitches until the end of the round. At the end of the round, make a slip stitch into the first stitch. Then chain 1 and cut the yarn. And wrap the yarn tail around the wire. And you can make a knot just like this. Cut the leftover yarn on the back of the petal. So now we finished 1 petal, we're gonna make a total of 5 petals. Now we're gonna make the bud. We're gonna start with a slip knot. After making a slip knot, we're gonna make 7 chains. And now we need to prepare a piece of 0.5 millimeter wire about 12 centimeters long and bend it like this. We will crochet with the wire in this round. Now skip the first chain and insert your hook into the second chain. Then yarn over and pull through. Now grab the wire and place it on top of the working yarn and under your hook. Then yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook to complete a single crochet. After that, in the next 4 chains, we're gonna make 1 half double crochet in each chain. So yarn over, insert your hook into the next chain. And make sure to place the hook under the wire like this. Yarn over and pull through. You'll have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops. And we've made 1 half double crochet. Just like this, we're gonna make 3 more half double crochets. And now we have 1 last chain left. We're gonna make 3 single crochets in this last chain. And now we're gonna turn our work and crochet on the other side of the chains. First we're gonna make 4 half double crochets. After making 4 half double crochets, there will be 1 last stitch left here. We're gonna make 1 single crochet in the last stitch. Then insert your hook into the first stitch and make a slip stitch. Then chain 1. And cut the yarn. We're gonna make another piece just like this one. But for the second piece, use a 30 cm wire like this. And cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing. Now sew these 2 pieces together using a darning needle. Once you're almost finished sewing, leave a small opening like this. We'll stuff it with some cotton. Then continue sewing until the bud is completely closed. Take out your green yarn and wrap it around the stem. And now the flower bud is finished. Now we're gonna make the leaves. First, start with a slip knot. After making a slip knot, make 12 chains. And now we need to prepare a piece of 0.5 mm wire about 16 cm long and bend it like this. We will crochet with the wire in this round. Now skip the first chain and insert your hook into the second chain. Then yarn over and pull through. Now grab the wire and place it on top of the working yarn and under your hook like this. After that, yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook to complete a single crochet. Then, in the next 8 chains, we're gonna make 1 half double crochet in each chain. To make a half double crochet, yarn over, then insert your hook into the next chain. And make sure to place the hook under the wire like this. Yarn over and pull through. You'll have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops. And you've made a half double crochet. So just like that, continue making a half double crochet in each of the next 7 chains. After making a total of 8 half double crochets, we're gonna make 1 single crochet in the next chain. And now we have 1 last chain left. We're gonna make 3 single crochets in this last chain. And now we're gonna turn our piece and crochet on the other side of the chains. Do not crochet into this stitch. This is the stitch where we made 3 single crochets. Instead, crochet into the stitch next to the last chain. Now we're gonna insert the hook into the stitch I showed you previously. Place your hook underneath both the wire and the yarn tail so you can carry the yarn tail along. Then, yarn over and pull through. And yarn over and pull through both loop to complete a single crochet. And next, we're gonna make a half double crochet in each of the next 8 stitches. And continue carrying that yarn tail. After 8 half double crochets, there will be 1 last stitch left here. We're gonna make a single crochet in the last stitch. Then insert your hook into the first stitch and make a slip stitch. Then, chain 1. And cut the yarn. And wrap the yarn around the wire. And you can make a knot just like I'm doing. And cut the leftover yarn on the back of the leaf. Now we've finished making the first leaf. We're gonna make a total of 2 leaves. Now we're gonna assembling the flower branch. First we're gonna make the stamens. We'll prepare a piece of 0.5 millimeter wire about 14 centimeters long. Some yellow yarn and glue. I will be using Yoohoo glue. Apply some glue on the top of the wire. Then wrap the yellow yarn around it for about 5 centimeters. We're gonna make a total of 5 stamens. Now we're gonna assembling the flower branch. Now take out your green yarn. Then gather all the stamens together and wrap the green yarn around them like this. Now we're gonna start attaching the petals here. Add some glue. Attach the petals one by one. Then continue wrapping the green yarn all the way down the stem. After that, attach the bud and the leaves to the stem. Cut off the extra wire. Apply some glue to the end of the stem and wrap the yarn around it. you
