Free Crochet Rose Plant Pot Pattern for Spring
Learn how to crochet a beautiful potted rose plant with a free and complete written pattern. This rose pot has a beautiful curly stem that can also be posed in other ways, thanks to the use of craft wire. We shall crochet the rose by working in flat rows and then wrapping it into a rose flower.
This method is very clever and lets you crochet a rose of any bulk. There is also a soil part in the pot, a sepal, and a pair of leaves. Everything is easy to crochet and can be done by even beginners. Let’s get started.
The designer behind this flower tutorial is @NITKA_KZ – she has quite a good grasp on kawaii amigurumi designing with added cuteness and surprises.

Wrap the Stem: Wrap the green yarn around the wire stem. About halfway down, hold the leaves against the stem and wrap the yarn around their tails to secure them to the stem. Continue wrapping to the bottom and secure the end with glue.
Pot Base: Place a heavy piece of cardboard or small pebbles at the bottom of the pot so it stands upright.
Planting: Poke a hole in the center of the Soil piece and push the bottom of the stem through. Secure the wire on the underside of the soil with hot glue.
