How to Crochet a Sunflower Pot | Crochet Tutorial | US Term | for Advanced Beginner

To crochet the receptacle, start with a magic loop, then single crochet six times in the magic loop. Pull the loop up, remove the hook, find the yarn tail, and pull the loop tight. Continue crocheting in continuous rounds for the flower core.

The materials needed include green and brown yarn, a two-millimeter hook for the receptacle, petals, and leaves, and other specified materials as indicated in the video instructions.

Stack the two receptacle pieces together with the right side facing out, making sure the brown one is facing you. Work into two parallel stitches of the last round of the receptacle with the yellow yarn. Follow the petal pattern by chaining and using a combination of crochet stitches to achieve the petal shape.

To crochet the small leaf, start with a magic loop and single crochet six times. Crochet the second round with a wire, inserting the hook into the first stitch, placing the wire on the hook under the working yarn, and continuing the established pattern. After completing the leaf, wrap the yarn around the wire and attach it at the appropriate position on the branch.

For the pot, use a three-millimeter hook and start with a magic loop, single crocheting eight times in the loop. Crochet in joined rounds. After the base of the pot is finished, continue with single crochets, eventually decreasing the stitches following the pattern, and finishing with sewing.

After crocheting all parts, assemble by wrapping yarn around the wire of leaves and tying where appropriate. Prepare a piece of branch and insert it into the green receptacle, and apply glue on top. Wrap yarn around the branch, tie the leaves to the branch, and sew the soil onto the pot through the front loops. Finally, insert the crocheted sunflower into the pot.

A special technique used when crocheting the leaves is working with wire. The wire is placed on the hook beneath the working yarn as you crochet the second round. This helps maintain the structure of the leaves and allows you to shape them as desired.
