How To Crochet Flower Basket
This crochet project is a versatile and beautiful pattern designed to look like a flower pot. The process combines creativity and simplicity, making it suitable for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. It can be used as a shawl, blanket, or decor depending on size and style. Leftover yarns and a soft thread are key materials, and special attention is given to texture and details.
The pattern consists of two main components:
- The Base (Ground Pattern) – Provides structure to the design.
- Floral Details – Add decorative elements to complete the flower pot look.
You can expand the width and length of the model as desired, creating endless possibilities from this versatile design.
Materials Needed
- Yarn Used:
- Nako Paris (soft thread) – Used for the base.
- Nako Vals yarn (green and colorful flowers) – Used for decorative flowers.
- Leftover yarns from previous projects can also be used.
- Crochet Hook: 3.5mm (adjustable for different thread thicknesses).
- Scissors (to cut thread).
- Yarn needle (for finishing and tucking in edges).
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Creating the Base Pattern
This forms the foundation of the "flower pot" design.
- Step 1: Start by making a chain.
The chain’s length depends on the desired width. For a scarf or shawl, the creator used 1 meter 15 cm of chains. - Step 2: Begin the first row.
- Use a double handrail (double crochet) stitch for this row.
- Skip one chain space, draw two chains, and continue creating double handrails.
- Step 3: Keep the foundation loose for flexibility.
- Use leftover yarns if desired, but ensure consistency in texture.
- The creator suggests working carefully with soft or hairy yarn since they can get difficult to unravel if mistakes occur.
- Step 4: Work around 5 rows of the base pattern, keeping the rows uniform.
This part forms the groundwork for the overall shawl.
2. Building the Texture
- Step 1: After 5 rows, add texture by combining stitches.
Insert the hook into the spaces between the existing double crochets, draw the thread through, and pull through loops.
Combine two spaces into one stitch. - Step 2: Continue this process across all rows.
This creates a "mesh" or lace-like effect that will complement the floral design.
3. Adding Decorative Leaves at the Edges
- Step 1: Begin working along the edges of the base.
This adds a decorative border to the shawl or blanket. - Step 2: Crochet three chains, single crochet into the same space, and repeat this process at regular intervals.
For variation, you can use 4-chain loops instead. - Step 3: Add small leaves.
- Use triple crochets and double handrails to create small leaf shapes.
- Alternate spaces between decorative elements for a uniform look.
4. Creating the Flower Details
The flowers make this project unique. Their placement resembles flower pots when folded, adding charm to the design.
- Step 1: Prepare the spaces along the edge.
Choose loop points where flowers will be attached. - Step 2: Form the basic flower shape.
- Attach a new thread (a different color for the flowers) in one of the loops.
- Use five single crochets around the thread.
- Step 3: Create the petals.
- Work from the center of the flower outward.
- Use single crochet, half crescent stitches, and triple crochets to shape the petals.
- Repeat this process for a total of 5 petals or adjust to your liking.
- Step 4: Finish and secure.
- Tie off the flower thread and tuck the ends using a yarn needle.
- Ensure all loose threads are hidden for a clean look.
Final Assembly and Folding into a Flower Pot
- Lay the finished shawl flat.
- Decorate with additional flowers if desired.
- Fold or arrange the shawl such that the base resembles a flower pot, with flowers blooming at the top.
- Adjust the folds and display as a decorative item, shawl, or blanket.
Conclusion
The floral pot shawl/blanket design is versatile, elegant, and easy to adapt for various purposes. Whether used as a fashionable shawl, cozy blanket, or unique decor, this design stands out with its combination of texture-rich base stitches and vibrant floral details.
