Crochet Hanging Pink Flowers: Perpetual Indoor Blooms Pattern

Materials You’ll Need:

• Worsted weight yarn in: pink (for flowers), dark green (for leaves/stems), brown/black (for flower centers), and a neutral color like white or beige (for the pot).
• Crochet hook (size appropriate for your yarn, e.g., 3.5mm or 4.0mm)
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembly
• Scissors
• Stitch markers (optional, but helpful)
• Small amount of polyester fiberfill (for pot base)
• Small S-hook or hanger (for display)

Abbreviations:

• MR: Magic Ring
• ch: chain
• sc: single crochet
• dc: double crochet
• sl st: slip stitch
• inc: increase (2 sc in one stitch)
• dec: decrease (sc 2 stitches together)
• st(s): stitch(es)
• FO: Fasten off

Pattern Notes:

• Work in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated.
• Gauge is not critical for this project, but consistent tension is important.

Crochet the Flowers (Make approx. 20-25):

Center (Brown/Black yarn):

• R1: 6 sc in MR. Join with sl st to first sc. FO, leaving a tail for sewing. [6]

Petals (Pink yarn):

• Attach pink yarn to any sc of the brown/black center.
• (Ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) into the same stitch. This forms one petal.
• Repeat the petal sequence (ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st) into each of the remaining 5 sc stitches around the center.
• Sl st to first ch of first petal to finish. FO, leave a long tail for sewing onto stems.

Crochet the Stems & Leaves (Make various lengths):

Use dark green yarn.

• Start with a slip knot, then ch desired length for a stem (e.g., 20-50 chains).
• For Leaves: Along the chain, every few stitches (e.g., every 5-7 ch), ch 3, sl st into the 2nd ch from hook, sl st into the 3rd ch from hook (this forms a small leaf shape). Continue along the main chain.
• Sl st back down the original chain until you reach the beginning. FO, leaving a long tail for attaching to the pot.
• Create several stems of varying lengths to give a natural trailing effect.

Crochet the Hanging Pot Base (Neutral yarn):

Work in continuous rounds.

• R1: 6 sc in MR [6]
• R2: (inc) x 6 [12]
• R3: (sc, inc) x 6 [18]
• R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 [24]
• R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 [30]
• R6 (optional for wider base): (4 sc, inc) x 6 [36]
• R7: sc in BLO around (this creates a defined edge for the base) [30 or 36]
• R8-12 (or until desired pot height): sc around [30 or 36]
• Sl st to join. FO, leaving a long tail.

Pot Hanger (Dark Green yarn):

• Cut three strands of green yarn, each about 15-20 inches long (adjust for desired hanging length).
• Tie one end of each strand to three evenly spaced points around the top edge of the pot.
• Gather the other ends of the three strands and tie them together at the top to form a loop. This loop will be used with your S-hook.

Assembly:

• Attach Flowers to Stems: Using the long tail from each flower, sew them securely along the various stems. Place them at different intervals to mimic a natural plant. Distribute the flowers so they look full and cascading.
• Stuff the Pot: Lightly stuff the base of the pot with polyester fiberfill.
• Insert Stems into Pot: Gather the long tails of all your crocheted stems. Insert them into the top opening of the pot, arranging them to spill out naturally. You can use your yarn needle to thread them through the stitches of the pot’s base if needed for extra security.
• Secure Stems: Once all stems are in place, use the long tail from the pot base to sew around the opening, securely fastening the stems inside. You might also want to add a few stitches with a separate piece of green yarn to further secure the stems to the top rim of the pot.
• Final Touches: Trim any excess yarn tails. Fluff and arrange your flowers and stems for the best display.

Your beautiful, maintenance-free crochet hanging plant is now complete! Hang it in a window, on a wall, or anywhere you need a splash of vibrant, handmade color. Enjoy your perpetual bloom!
