Step 1: Making the First Stem and Leaf

  1. Slip Knot and Chain for the Stem:

    • Chain 12 for the stem.
  2. Chain for Leaf Foundation:
    • Chain 3 more (separate from the 12 stem chains).
    • Slip stitch into the 3rd chain from the hook to create a circle.

    • Chain 1 more.
    • Mark the stitch using a bobby pin or stitch marker.

Step 2: Crocheting the Leaf

  1. First Side of the Leaf:
    • Into the chain 3 circle, make 6 double crochets.
  2. Create the Leaf Point:
    • Crochet 1 treble stitch (yarn over 2 times).

    • Crochet 1 more treble stitch (yarn over 2 times).
  3. Second Side of the Leaf:
    • Double crochet 6 more times into the chain 3 circle.
    • Chain 2 and slip stitch into the chain 3 space to complete the leaf shape.
  4. Add a Stem to the Back of the Leaf:
    • Double crochet around the base of the post of the double treble stitch to create a small stem structure along the back.
  5. Attach Back to the Stem:
    • Return to the starting chain (stem).
    • Slip stitch into the back loops of the next 3 chains to anchor the leaf.

Step 3: Creating the Second Leaf

  1. Repeat Leaf Steps:
    • Chain 3 to extend the stem.
    • Chain 3 more for the leaf foundation and slip stitch into the 3rd chain to create a circle.
    • Create the leaf as per Step 2.
  2. Change Direction:
    • For this leaf, slip stitch into the front loops of the next 3 stem chains to orient the vine downward.

Step 4: Extending the Vine

  1. Add More Leaves:
    • Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to create additional sets of leaves.
    • You can create vines of any length depending on your preference.
    • Liz creates vines with varying lengths:
      • 2 leaves (short vine), 3 leaves, and 4 leaves per vine.

Step 5: Adding Pink Variegation (Optional)

  1. Attach Pink Yarn:
    • Pull up a loop of pink yarn into the chain 2 space of the first stitch of the green leaf.
    • Chain 1 (counts as first stitch).
  2. Outline the Leaf:
    • Single crochet into the next 6 stitches.
    • Increase by single crocheting twice into each of the next 3 stitches (1 treble, 1 double treble, and 1 treble).
    • Continue single crocheting into the next 6 stitches on the other side.
    • Slip stitch into the next stitch to complete the pink outline.
  3. Repeat for Each Leaf:
    • Continue the pink edging process for every leaf.

Step 6: Creating and Attaching the Soil Patch

  1. Prepare Soil Patch:
    • Crochet a soil patch based on Liz’s planter pot tutorial or follow her described method.
  2. Attach Vines:
    • Thread the tails of the vines through the center of the soil patch.
    • Arrange the starting chains underneath the patch.
    • Pin the tails flat against the patch’s underside and sew them securely in place.
  3. Hide Attachment Points:
    • Crochet a circle to cover the tails underneath the soil patch.
    • Sew this circle to the soil patch bottom for a clean look.
  4. Optional Weighting:
    • Add a heavy washer to weigh down the patch for stability before sewing if desired.

Step 7: Assembling the Pot

  1. Use a Crocheted or Purchased Pot:
    • Place the completed soil patch with attached vines into the pot.
    • Optionally, crochet a pot or cover a Dollar Tree pot with yarn for added style.
