Materials You’ll Need for This Crochet Car Plant
According to page 1 of the PDF, this pattern uses super fine yarn to create a compact, lightweight finish that’s perfect for car décor.
Supplies:
- Super fine yarn (1.8 oz / 50g)
- Colors: Beige brown (pot), Pine green (succulent)
- 2.5–3.0 mm crochet hook
- Stitch marker
- Sewing needle
- Scissors
- Cotton stuffing
Using smaller hooks helps the stitches stay tight, which is essential for clean-looking amigurumi projects.
Crochet Abbreviations (US Terms)
The pattern (page 1) uses standard US crochet terminology. If you’ve made amigurumi before, these will feel familiar.
- MR – Magic Ring
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- hdc – half double crochet
- ps / puff – puff stitch
- inc – increase
- sl st – slip stitch
These basic stitches combine to create a beautifully textured crochet succulent plant.
How to Crochet the Pot (Beige Brown)
The pot is worked in the round starting with a magic ring (page 2 of the PDF). Increases are added evenly to create a flat base before building the sides.
Pot Instructions:
- 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 method creates a sturdy mini pot perfect for stuffing and holding your succulent.
Crochet Green Circle Base (Inside Support)
Also on page 2, the green circle base is crocheted separately and sewn inside the pot. This gives structure and a base for attaching the succulent strands.
Circle Base Instructions:
- Row 1: MR, ch 1, 10 hdc
- Row 2: 10 hdc inc (20 sts)
- Row 3: (1 hdc, 1 inc) x10 (30 sts)
- Row 4: (5 sc, 1 inc) x5 (35 sts)
Remember to chain 1 at the beginning of each row and slip stitch at the end, as noted in the PDF.
How to Crochet the Succulent (Puff Stitch Texture)
The succulent detail (page 3) is what makes this pattern stand out. It uses puff stitches to create a thick, dimensional plant texture.
Succulent Instructions:
- Ch 4, 1 puff stitch in 3rd stitch, 1 sl st in next stitch
- Ch 8, 1 puff stitch in 3rd stitch, 1 sl st in next stitch
- Repeat (ch 8, 1 puff stitch in 3rd, 1 sl st) to desired length
- Make 7–9 strands
These puff stitch chains create soft, rounded succulent “leaves” that look modern and realistic.
Assembly Instructions (Sewing & Stuffing)
On page 4 of the PDF, the assembly process is explained clearly.
- Sew the green circle base inside the pot.
- Add cotton stuffing before fully closing.
- Sew each succulent strand into the middle of the pot.
Arrange the strands evenly for a full, lush look.
Add the Hanging Rope
As noted on page 5, finish your crochet car hanging plant by chaining 60 stitches on both sides of the pot to create the hanging rope.
Adjust the chain length depending on how low you want your plant to hang from the rearview mirror.
