Crochet Daisy Hanging Flower Pot with Small Yellow Blooms

This crochet daisy hanging flower pot combines white daisies, small yellow flowers and round green foliage above a textured brown pot. Make the separate flower heads and leaves first, then crochet the pot and choose either a crocheted soil insert or a fitted foam support. The individual parts let you adjust the arrangement before fixing anything in place.

Crochet Daisy Hanging Flower Pot Materials

• Super-fine yarn in green, white, blue, yellow and brown. The source lists 50 g / 1.8 oz yarn but does not give a separate quantity for each shade.
• Hooks in the 2.5–3 mm range; use 3 mm for the pot.
• A stitch marker, sewing needle, scissors, filling and wire.
• Foam for the optional soil support, and optional hot glue for assembly.

Before you begin

Use US terms: sc, hdc and dc are single, half double and double crochet. Inc means two sc in the same stitch, dec means work two sc together, BLO means back loops only, and FPDC/BPDC mean front-post/back-post double crochet. The source gives no finished dimensions or gauge. Keep the flower centers and pot fabric firm.

Make the white daisies

For each daisy, make one yellow center and one green backing. For each piece: Round 1, 6 sc into a magic ring (6); Round 2, increase in each stitch (12); Round 3, 1 sc in each stitch (12).

Hold the center and backing together and join them with white petals. Repeat 12 times: ch 8; beginning in the second chain from the hook, work 7 hdc down the chain; slip stitch into the next joining stitch. Begin adding a little stuffing after the ninth petal, then finish closing the flower. Wrap yarn around the supporting stem wire.

Make the small yellow flowers

Make a green backing and a brown center. For each piece: Round 1, 6 sc into a magic ring (6); Round 2, increase in every stitch (12). Join the pieces with yellow petals. Make six petal groups, using ch 2, three hdc together in the indicated attachment stitch, ch 2 and a slip stitch into the next attachment stitch. Add filling after the fourth petal, then finish joining the head.

Arrange the six groups evenly around the 12-stitch center. The source illustrates these flowers beside the larger white daisies; it does not give a mandatory number of completed flower heads.

Make two eucalyptus-style stems

For each sprig, make two larger discs of 8 sc in a magic ring and four smaller discs of 6 sc in a magic ring. Fasten each off with a tail for wrapping onto wire. Join the two larger discs together at the tip, then attach the four smaller discs down the wire and wrap the stem. Make two sprigs.

Secure the hanging chain at the pot rim and check its balance before adding the finished arrangement.

Make the soil and assemble

Alternatively, cut a piece of foam to fit the pot as shown in the source. Put the chosen insert inside the pot, arrange the flowers and sprigs, then secure them when you are happy with their placement.

Questions before you finish

Can I use foam instead of crocheted soil?

Yes. The supplied pattern offers both a stuffed crochet insert and a fitted piece of foam.

How many daisies should I make?

No fixed bouquet quantity is stated. Make enough to fill your own pot while leaving room for the smaller flowers and foliage.
