About This Plant Car Pattern

This pattern creates a small hanging plant pot with a soft green circle 'soil' insert, trailing vines, leaves and tiny flowers. You will crochet the pot, a circle base, vine strands with attached leaves, and simple two-color flowers to decorate. The pieces are sewn together to create a finished hanging planter that is light, decorative and easy to customize.

Why You'll Love This Plant Car Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple stitches into a whimsical hanging plant that brightens any space. I enjoy how quickly the pot and circle base come together — you get visible progress fast. The vines and leaves are so satisfying to crochet and allow for playful arrangements and personalization. Sewing the vines and flowers in place is meditative and makes each finished piece uniquely yours.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this pattern by changing yarn colors—try a terracotta shade for the pot and darker greens for leaves for a realistic look.

I sometimes make the pot larger by using worsted weight yarn and a 4.0 mm hook to create a chunkier hanging planter.

I also like making extra-long vines by adding extra chains (40ch or more) for dramatic drape in a taller hanging display.

To make the piece more durable, I double the green circle (make two circles) and sew them together with a small amount of stiff interfacing between them.

I often embroider small veins on leaves with a contrasting green to add texture and interest to each leaf.

Try combining several finished mini pots on a single macrame hanger for a coordinated set that makes a bigger statement.

For a festive look, use metallic or variegated yarn for flowers and alternate colors to make a garland effect over the rim.

I sometimes add a tiny bead or button to the center of the flower for extra sparkle and contrast.

To simplify assembly, pin vines and flowers in place before sewing so you can step back and adjust spacing for the best composition.

If you want a sturdier hanging, line the inside with a small plastic cup before stuffing and sewing to hold shape longer.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction '*do not cut yarn*' after the pot wall can result in losing the hanging loop; keep the yarn and chain 60 for the hanging before finishing off. ✗ Not counting increases precisely in the pot rounds leads to misshapen pots; recount after each increase round to maintain the correct stitch total. ✗ Attaching the green circle before stuffing can make insertion awkward; sew the circle inside the pot and stuff the filling inside the pot, then finish sewing for a neat result. ✗ Making vines too short or uneven causes awkward positioning on the circle; follow the specified chain lengths (30ch, 25ch, 20ch) and make the recommended 5-6 vines for balance.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sl st end row 11 and chain 60 to form the hanging loop; secure and fasten off the yarn so the pot will hang.
  • Sew the green circle base into the inside rim of the pot using a sewing needle, aligning edges so the circle sits flush inside the pot.
  • Stuff cotton filling inside the pot after the circle is partially sewn in, then finish sewing the circle securely so stuffing stays in place.
  • Arrange and sew each vine onto the green circle base, spacing vines evenly around the circle for balanced drape.
  • Attach flowers and leaves to vines as desired by sewing them in place with a yarn needle, trimming ends neatly when finished.

Important Notes

  • 💡Do not cut yarn after Row 8-11 of the pot; slip stitch and chain 60 to form the hanging loop before finishing.
  • 💡Sew the circle inside the pot and stuff the pot after the circle is partly attached for a neat finished look.
  • 💡Make 5-6 vines using the indicated chains (30ch, 25ch and 20ch) to achieve an attractive cascading arrangement.
