Funny Cat Sunflower Pot Tutorial

Skill Level: Intermediate. The main stitches used are single crochet, along with single crochet increases and decreases to form the shape of the cat’s body, ears, and tail. The tutorial also uses more advanced stitches for the sunflower petals, such as double crochet and treble crochet, but easy for beginners. Color changes and working in rounds require, too. Other key techniques include starting with a magic ring, using slip stitches to join rounds, and working in the front or back loops only to create specific textures and ridges for assembly.

Tutorial Timing: 37 minutes only (perfect for learning two different crochet projects with one quick tutorial. While crocheting sunflower petals, you will understand how to use stitches of different heights to create them. Similarly, many more techniques can be mastered.)

Personalization Tips: While the brown cat basket perfectly aligns with the usual choice of a color for a crochet pot, you can also choose the white and try crocheting other cat faces like Siamese. Add accessories like a tiny crocheted collar, a bow, and even use large safety eyes instead of the beads.

Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
