Materials:

To make these you will need a 2.5 mm hook and 8 ply cotton. The pattern is written in American crochet notation. All pots are different sizes so you just need to adapt the pattern to fit the pot you’re working with.

My pots are both about 9 cm across. The patty pan pot is 5 cm tall. The fancy curvy pot is 8 cm tall.

Patty pan like pot

Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring (6 stitches)

Round 2: increase in every stitch (12 stitches)

Round 3: sc in the first stitch, increase in the next stitch – repeat (18 stitches)

Round 4: sc in the first two stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (24 stitches)

Round 5: sc in the first three stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (30 stitches)

Round 6: sc in the first four stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (36 stitches)

(keep increasing like this until your circle is the size of the base of your pot – my circle reached the right size at round 6)

Round 7: sc in each stitch (backloops only) (36 stitches)

Round 8: sc in each stitch (36 stitches)

(my pot tapers gently outwards, like a patty pan for a cupcake. So I chose to alternate an increase round with a normal rounds from here on)

Round 9: sc in the first five stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (42 stitches)

Round 10: sc in each stitch (42 stitches)

Round 11: sc in the first six stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (48 stitches)

Round 12: sc in each stitch (48 stitches)

Round 13: sc in the first seven stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (54 stitches)

Round 14: sc in each stitch (54 stitches)

Round 15: sc in the first eight stitches, increase in the next stitch – repeat (60 stitches)

Round 16: sc in each stitch (54 stitches)

(keep crocheting until you reach the top of your pot)

Now for the hangy bit

Chain 80 (or however long you want your hangy bits to be) and fasten off, count a third of the stitches around the pot hanger (so in my case 20 stitches), attach the wool and make another chain. Then count a third of the stitches around the pot hanger again, join the wool and make a third chain.

Weave in ends.
