How to Crochet the Pot (Beige)
The pot is worked in rounds, starting with a magic ring and gradually increasing to create a rounded base.
From the PDF (page 2):
- Row 1: MR, ch 1, 10 sc
- Row 2: (1 sc, 1 inc) x5 (15 sts)
- Row 3: (2 sc, 1 inc) x5 (20 sts)
- Row 4: (3 sc, 1 inc) x5 (25 sts)
- Row 5: (4 sc, 1 inc) x5 (30 sts)
- Row 6: (5 sc, 1 inc) x5 (35 sts)
- Rows 7–10: 35 sc
This shaping technique creates a smooth, sturdy mini crochet pot perfect for stuffing.

Creating the Pot Rim Detail
The rim uses double crochet stitches to give the top edge a realistic plant pot look.
From the PDF:
- MR, ch 2, 10 dc
- Increase to 20 dc
- (1 dc, 1 inc) x10 (30 sts)
- Final shaping with single crochet increases
This detail adds dimension and makes your crochet plant hanger look more polished and professional.

Crochet Hanging Strap (Make 2)
To turn this into a car hanging plant, you’ll crochet two chains:
- Chain 60–70
- Use 3.0 mm hook
Adjust the length depending on how low you want your crochet plant to hang from the mirror.

Crochet Fern Circle & Fiddlehead Detail
The green fern circle (page 3 of the PDF) creates the layered leafy texture using combinations of:
- Chains
- Slip stitches
- Single crochet
The pattern builds multiple small looped leaf segments to mimic fern fronds. This gives the plant its realistic botanical look.
Be sure not to cut the yarn tail too early, as noted in the PDF, since you’ll need it for sewing.

Crochet Leaves (Make 5)
Using a 2.0 mm hook (page 4 of the PDF):
- Slip knot, ch 21
- 12 sc
- 8 hdc
- Do not cut tail
These small leaves add fullness to your amigurumi fern plant and create a layered effect inside the pot.

Assembly Instructions
Now it’s time to assemble your crochet car plant!
From the PDF sewing instructions (page 4):
- Sew the green circle inside the pot.
- Add stuffing before closing.
- Sew the leaves and fiddlehead in the middle of the pot.
- Attach the hanging chains securely.
Make sure everything is tightly secured since this will hang inside a moving car.
