INSTRUCTIONS:

Flowerpot with Ground:

Size: 7cm in length

Ground: (Brown)

This part is made by working in continuous rounds, so you may want to use a stitch marker to keep record of your current rnd.

Rnd 1: CH 2. Work 6 SC in second CH from hook. Place a stitch marker in the last SC to designate the end of the rnd.

Rnd 2: Work 2 SC in each ST around (12 SC).

Rnd 3: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next ST. ** Repeat from * to ** around (18 SC).

Rnd 4 – 20: SC in each ST around (18 SC).

Rnd 21: For this rnd only work in the back loops.
*Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next two STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (24 SC).

Rnd 22: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next three STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (30 SC).

Rnd 23: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next four STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (36 SC).

Rnd 24: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next five STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (42 SC).

Rnd 25: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next six STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (48 SC).

Rnd 26: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next seven STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (54 SC).
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Turn the middle part inside out (the wrong side is now on the outside, and the right side on the inside)

The ground is worked with the right-side facing outward; this needs to be flipped inside out, so that the top ground is
facing right side up when attached to pot.

Flower Pot: (make 2 – Dark Pink and Purple)

This part is made by working in continuous rounds, so you may want to use a stitch marker to keep record of your current rnd.

Rnd 1: CH 2. Work 6 SC in second CH from hook. Place a stitch marker in the last SC to designate the end of the rnd.

Rnd 2: Work 2 SC in each ST around (12 SC).

Rnd 3: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next ST. ** Repeat from * to ** around (18 SC).

Rnd 4: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next two STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (24 SC).

Rnd 5: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next three STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (30 SC).

Row 6: *Work 2 SC in first ST and 1 SC in next four STS. ** Repeat from * to ** around (36 SC).

Rnd 7: For this rnd only work in the back loops. SC in each ST around (36 SC).

Rnd 26: For this rnd only work in the front loops. SC in each ST around (54 SC).  CH 1, turn

Rnd 27: SC in each ST around (54 SC). SL ST into first SC, CH 1. DO NOT TURN, continue in the round.

Rnd 28 – 30: SC in each ST around (54 SC).  SL ST into first SC, CH 1. DO NOT TURN, continue in the round.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

From rnd 26 this creates a flap that hangs over the pot, creating the effect of the top part of a flower pot.
Attach with invisible stitches to sides of pot.

How to assemble:

• Stuff ground centre with tissue/stuffing to form its shape, this is only temporary.
• Place stuffing inside pot, create a hole in the middle; this is where the ground centre will be placed.
• Insert ground.
• Attach ground to pot by sewing into the back loops created by rnd 26. Match up stitches for a perfect fit. Use ground tail for sewing.
• As you sew add stuffing to form pot, and to surround the centre of the ground.
• Remove tissue/stuffing from ground.
