Heyy Crochet Buddies! Am so excited to be sharing this crochet plant pot cover with you! If you have been following me on Instagram, you may know that I bought a couple of indoor plants a while ago while I was doing my room makeover (If you didn’t know about it go check the before and afters as well as all the free crochet patterns included). After getting those plants I really got interested in indoor plants, plant care and propagation, so I decided to create more patterns for plant pot covers and here is the first one!

- Yarn: 1 roll of natural twine yarn (however this can change if you want to make a bigger or smaller size )
I bought mine from my local crafts store. However, I Linked a few options that are very similar to the one I used KINGLAKE 300 Feet Natural Jute Twine , Katzco Heavy Duty All Natural Jute Twine, TIAMALL 300 Feet Natural Jute Twine, Natural Jute Twine 2 Pack - One skein of Alize cotton gold (Code 67) candlelight.

Sizes:
The diameter of the basket base is 19 cm and the height is 17.5 cm
Gauge:
You don’t need gauge for this project.
Skill level: Beginner
Abbreviations and Glossary (US Terms):
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- ss -slip stitch
- Inc – 2 stitches in the same stitch
- bo- Bobble stitch: Yarn over, insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through two loops. as if you are doing the first part of a double crochet (DC) (2 loops on the hook); Repeat it until you have 5 HDC on your hook and 1 initial loop (total 6 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops. (1 loop on the hook – pull pretty tight, so your bobble really pops up). And sc in the next stitch.
Notes:
- The pattern is written in us terms,
- You need to put a stitch marker at the last stitch of each round to mark the end of the round. since we will be working with continuous rounds with no slip stitch at the end of each round
- Although I used this as a plant pot cover, there are lots of other options you can use it for.
- You can also work less or more rounds to decrease or increase it’s height.
- If you want To use this as a plant pot cover you may need to get a pot with its saucer.
- I will be referring to Jute as color A. And the beige cotton as color B
- All bobble stitches are worked with color B, and all sc is worked with color A except for the specified sc rows that are worked with color B

Now you can either leave color B yarn and pick it up after two rounds (This is shown in the picture bellow). Or you can work the next two rounds over it as shown in the video
Round 16-17. With color A, Sc in each stitch in the round
Round 18.
