About This Hanging Plant Pot Amigurumi Pattern
This pattern creates a small hanging plant pot amigurumi with a crocheted pot, a circular soil top, multiple vines with leaves, and tiny flowers. It uses simple rounds and building blocks like single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet to create texture and shape. The pattern includes clear step-by-step rows and photographic guidance for assembly and finishing. Ideal for adding a handmade botanical accent to your home.
Includes materials list, full abbreviations and detailed assembly steps for sewing the circle into the pot and attaching vines and flowers. Make 5-8 flowers and 5-6 vine lengths to create a lush hanging arrangement.
Why You'll Love This Hanging Plant Pot Amigurumi Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns a few simple crochet stitches into a delightful hanging plant that adds life to any room. I enjoy how easy it is to customize with different yarn colors and vine lengths to match your decor. The small scale means you can finish it quickly and still have a polished handmade piece to gift or display. Making the little flowers and leaves is so satisfying and gives you a chance to practice shaping stitches in a playful way.
Switch Things Up
I love how easily this pattern adapts to different yarns and scales; try sport weight yarn with a 2.5mm hook for a slightly smaller pot or use a thicker yarn for a chunkier look.
I often change color combinations — use variegated yarn for the soil or a neutral pot with bright green vines to make the leaves pop.
You can lengthen or shorten vine chains to create a dramatic cascade or a compact cluster; experiment with 15ch to 60ch vine lengths for varied effects.
I sometimes embroider veins on each leaf using a contrasting yarn for extra detail and texture that makes the leaves look more lifelike.
For a whimsical look, add tiny beads to vine tips or thread a small bell onto the hanging chain for a playful finish.
I like to make tiny removable outfits for the pot (like a mini moss mat) by crocheting small rounds to tuck under the green circle for seasonal variations.
Try combining different leaf stitch patterns — alternate larger and smaller leaves along a single vine for a more organic appearance.
If you want a more durable decor item, use cotton yarn and secure all joins with hidden weaving and fabric glue for reinforcement.
I sometimes add a loop inside the pot and a small eye-hook to hang it securely on nail or hook; this gives a cleaner hanging option for display.
Finally, I recommend photographing each color variation you try so you can recreate your favorite combinations in future projects — I keep a small swatch book with notes for each version.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Skipping the magic ring and starting with chains can leave a visible hole at the center; always start the pot and circle base with a magic ring to close the center neatly.
✗ Forgetting to count increases precisely will change the pot circumference; count stitches at the end of each increase round to ensure correct stitch counts.
✗ Cutting the yarn too early from the pot body will prevent making the hanging chain; keep the yarn attached until you finish row 11 and make the hanging chain as instructed.
✗ Not stuffing the pot base enough can make the final piece collapse; add polyester stuffing gradually and shape as you sew the circle into the pot to maintain structure.
