7 in 1 Crochet Flower Pots Pattern: Your Complete Guide to a Stunning Collection
If you’ve ever wanted to bring the beauty of a garden indoors without worrying about watering schedules or sunlight requirements, crochet flower pots might just be your new obsession. This 7 in 1 crochet flower pots pattern gives you seven unique, charming designs in a single collection — each one worked in US terms and suitable for crocheters who are comfortable with basic to intermediate stitches. Whether you’re making these for your own home, as thoughtful handmade gifts, or to sell at craft fairs and on Etsy, this pattern collection is as versatile as it is beautiful.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know, from materials and gauge to stitch breakdowns and finishing tips for all seven designs.
Why Crochet Flower Pots Are Having a Moment
Handmade home décor has never been more popular, and crochet flower pots sit right at the intersection of two of the biggest trends in the craft world: botanical-inspired design and functional fiber art. Unlike their knitted or sewn counterparts, crocheted flower pots have a natural structure and stiffness — especially when worked in cotton yarn or stiffened with spray starch — that makes them look remarkably like real terracotta, ceramic, or painted pottery.
They’re also endlessly customizable. Change the yarn color to match your living room palette, swap out the flowers for succulents or ferns, or resize the pot by going up or down in hook size. Once you understand the basic construction of a crocheted pot, the creative possibilities open up in all directions.
A 7 in 1 pattern collection takes all of that creative freedom and gives it structure. Instead of searching the internet for seven different individual patterns that may not match in style or construction method, you get a cohesive set of designs that look intentional together — perfect for creating a coordinated shelf display or a gift set that feels curated and considered.
Materials You’ll Need
Before you cast on your first stitch, gather your supplies. Because this collection includes seven different pot designs, you’ll likely work through several of these over time rather than all at once. Here’s a general materials list that covers the full collection:
Yarn: The best yarn for crochet flower pots is a medium-weight cotton yarn (size 4 / worsted weight) or a lighter cotton (size 3 / DK weight) depending on how structured you want the finished pots to look. Cotton holds its shape beautifully and doesn’t stretch out the way acrylic can. For the flowers and foliage topping each pot, you might use smaller amounts of multiple colors, so this is a great stash-busting project. Recommended colors include terracotta, cream, sage green, dusty rose, mustard yellow, and off-white, though any palette you love will work.
Hook Size: A size G/6 (4.0 mm) or H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook works well for worsted-weight cotton. If you’re working with DK weight yarn, try a size F/5 (3.75 mm). The exact hook size matters less than your gauge and the structure of the finished piece, so swatch first.
Additional Supplies: A yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, stitch markers to mark rounds, and — optionally — fabric stiffener or spray starch to give your finished pots extra body and a more realistic look. Polyfill stuffing can be useful for the smaller decorative flowers or for making the pot base sit flat and stable.
Understanding the Construction
All seven pot designs in this collection follow a similar fundamental construction: a flat circular base worked in the round, followed by sides worked either in joined rounds or continuous spiral rounds, with a slight flare or straight edge at the rim. The flowers and greenery are made separately and then attached to the top of the pot or arranged to spill over the sides.
This separate-and-attach method means you can mix and match flowers across pots, change your mind about colors at the end, and make replacement flowers if any get worn or damaged over time. It also means the pot bodies can be made in batches — if you’re making several as gifts, you can churn out all the pots, then work on all the flowers, and assemble everything at the end.
Gauge and Sizing
Getting your gauge right is especially important for crochet flower pots because the structure of the piece depends on a tight, even fabric. A looser gauge will give you a floppy pot that won’t hold its shape; a tighter gauge will produce a sturdy, sculptural result.
For the main collection, aim for approximately 16 stitches and 18 rows equaling 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet using worsted-weight cotton and a size G/6 (4.0 mm) hook. Adjust your hook size up or down as needed to achieve this gauge.
The seven pots in this collection range in size from small accent pots (roughly 3 inches tall and 3 inches wide) to a larger statement pot (approximately 6 inches tall and 5 inches wide at the rim). Exact dimensions are noted at the start of each individual pattern section.
Pattern 1: The Classic Round Pot
The first design is the foundation of the collection — a simple, symmetrical round pot with a tapered body that narrows slightly at the base and widens toward a flared rim. Topped with a cluster of five-petal flowers in two contrasting colors, this pot is ideal for beginners who want a clean, satisfying finish.
Abbreviations (US Terms): ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch), dec = decrease (sc2tog), MR = magic ring, st(s) = stitch(es), rnd = round.
Base: Using terracotta yarn, make a MR. Rnd 1: 6 sc in MR. Rnd 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts) Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc repeat around. (18 sts) Rnd 4: Sc 2, inc repeat around. (24 sts) Rnd 5: Sc 3, inc repeat around. (30 sts) Rnd 6: Sc 4, inc repeat around. (36 sts) Sl st to join, do not turn.
Sides: Rnd 7: Working in back loops only, sc in each st around. (36 sts) Rnds 8–14: Sc in each st around. (36 sts) Rnd 15 (flare): Sc 5, inc repeat around. (42 sts) Rnd 16: Sc in each st around. Sl st to join. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Classic Five-Petal Flower: Using cream yarn, ch 4, sl st to form a ring. Round 1: Ch 1, 10 sc in ring, sl st to join. Round 2: Ch 3, dc 2 in next st, ch 3, sl st in next st repeat 5 times. (5 petals) Fasten off leaving a long tail for attaching. Make 3 flowers and a few small sc leaves in green yarn. Arrange and stitch to the top of the pot.
Pattern 2: The Tall Cylinder Pot
Long and sleek, this pot is perfect for taller arrangements like lavender sprigs or long-stemmed crochet roses. The cylinder maintains an even stitch count throughout the sides, giving it a modern, architectural look.
Work the base the same as Pattern 1 through Rnd 5 (30 sts). For the sides, work straight in sc for 20 rounds without increasing or decreasing. Add a single round of reverse single crochet (crab stitch) at the rim for a polished edge. The flower topping features a simple rolled rose: ch 40, dc 3 in the 4th chain from hook, then dc 3 in each remaining chain across. Roll the strip tightly and secure with a few stitches at the base. Make three in dusty rose and attach with small green leaves.
Pattern 3: The Textured Basket Weave Pot
This pot gets its visual interest from a basket weave stitch pattern on the sides — alternating panels of front post double crochet and back post double crochet that create a woven, dimensional surface. It gives the pot the feel of woven rattan or a wicker basket, making it perfect for a boho or farmhouse aesthetic.
After completing the base through Rnd 6 (36 sts), work the basket weave pattern: FPdc 3, BPdc 3 repeat around for 4 rounds, then switch: BPdc 3, FPdc 3 repeat for 4 more rounds. Repeat this alternating pattern for a total of 3 sets, then finish with a round of sc. The flowers for this pot are small sunflowers worked in mustard yellow with a brown center.
Mini Sunflower: MR, 6 sc in ring. Round 2: Inc in each st. (12 sts) Fasten off. Join brown yarn in any st, ch 1, sc in next st, ch 3, sl st back in first ch, sl st in next st repeat around for petals. Join yellow at base of petals and work a second, longer layer by sl st, ch 4, dc in 4th ch from hook, sl st back down repeat around. Attach 2–3 sunflowers per pot.
Pattern 4: The Scalloped Rim Pot
Delicate and feminine, this pot features a scalloped edge at the rim that mimics the look of decorative pottery. The body is worked in a simple sc ribbing (alternating front loop and back loop rows), which gives it subtle vertical texture, and the scalloped border is added last.
Work the base as in Pattern 1 through Rnd 4 (24 sts). Work the ribbed sides for 12 rounds by alternating sc in front loops only and sc in back loops only. For the scalloped rim: sc 1, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1, sc 1 repeat around. Finish with sl st and fasten off. Top with small crochet daisies — a simple circle of sc with ch-3 loops pulled through for petals in white and a yellow center.
Pattern 5: The Mini Succulent Pot
No flower collection is complete without a nod to the succulent craze, and this mini pot is sized to match. The pot body is tiny — just 3 inches tall — and sits on a slightly wider base so it doesn’t tip over. The “succulent” topper is the real star: a layered rosette worked in shades of green and blue-green that looks strikingly realistic.
Work the base through Rnd 4 (24 sts), then work sides straight for 10 rounds. For the succulent rosette, work a series of graduated petal layers: a small inner bud of 5 petals, a medium ring of 7 longer petals, and an outer ring of 9 wide petals. Each petal layer is worked from a central ring and shaped with increases. Layer them from the center out and stitch through all layers at the center to secure. Insert a bit of polyfill under the rosette before attaching to give it a plump, lifted look.
Pattern 6: The Hanging Pot with Chains
This design adds a practical and decorative twist — three evenly spaced chain loops at the rim allow the pot to be suspended from a hook or curtain rod, making it a perfect hanging planter. The pot body is wider than it is tall, with a rounded profile that narrows slightly at the top.
Work the base through Rnd 8 (48 sts) for a wider diameter. Work sides straight for 8 rounds. On the final round, work a hanging loop at every 16th stitch: sc to the marker, ch 20, sl st back in the same stitch to form the loop, continue sc around. Repeat at the next two markers. The flowers for this pot trail down the sides — work 5–7 small flowers on long stems (ch 20 stems with a dc cluster flower at the end) and stitch them at different heights around the pot.
Pattern 7: The Oversized Statement Pot
The seventh and most ambitious design in the collection is a large, bold statement pot that works as a centerpiece on a coffee table, a mantle display, or even as a pencil cup or utensil holder in a kitchen or studio. At approximately 6 inches tall and 5 inches in diameter, it’s sized to make an impression.
The body uses a stacked shell stitch to create a repeating fan pattern on the sides, and the rim is finished with a picot edge. To make a shell stitch, work 5 dc in the same stitch, skip 2 sts, sc in next st, skip 2 sts; repeat around. The base is worked through Rnd 8 for the wider diameter. Work 5 rounds of shell stitch pattern on the sides, then 2 rounds of sc before adding the picot rim: sc 2, ch 3, sl st back in first ch repeat around.
The flower arrangement for this pot is the most elaborate in the collection: a mixed bouquet of three different flower types from earlier patterns — a rolled rose, a sunflower, and a classic five-petal flower — arranged together with several green leaves at varying heights for a lush, layered look.
Finishing and Stiffening Your Pots
Once all seven pots are crocheted and their flower toppers are attached, the finishing process can really transform them. If you want a stiffer, more structured result, mix equal parts white craft glue and water in a bowl, submerge your crocheted pot, squeeze out the excess, shape it by hand, and leave it to dry on a flat surface or over a rounded object like a cup or bowl. Fabric stiffener spray is a quicker alternative — just spray generously, shape, and let dry.
Weave in all ends carefully with a yarn needle, burying the tails inside the body of the pot where they won’t be visible. If you’re displaying the pots in a location where the inside will be visible, you can line them with a small piece of felt cut to fit the base.
Tips for Selling These at Craft Fairs and on Etsy
Crochet flower pots photograph beautifully and sell well as home décor items, particularly around spring and early summer. A few tips for getting the most out of this collection commercially:
Group the seven designs together as a set for a higher price point, or sell them individually for more accessibility. Style your photos against a light, neutral background with natural light — terracotta and cream tones especially come alive in good lighting. Note the dimensions clearly in your listing descriptions, and consider offering custom color options, which buyers love.
On Etsy, keywords like “crochet home decor,” “boho crochet flowers,” “handmade plant pot décor,” and “crochet gift for plant lovers” will help buyers find your work. At craft fairs, displaying the full set of seven together on a tiered wooden display creates a stunning visual that draws people in from across the room.
A Few More Creative Ways to Use This Pattern
Beyond the obvious home décor angle, these seven pots have a surprising number of other uses. Fill one with wrapped candy and use it as a table centerpiece at a spring party or a baby shower. Tuck a small battery-operated LED light inside one of the larger pots for a glowing accent piece. Make a set in school colors and sell them at a fundraiser. Give a pot with a hand-stamped tag as a teacher appreciation gift, or make one as a bridesmaid gift and fill the pot with small wrapped chocolates.
The beauty of a collection like this is that each pattern builds on your skills slightly, so by the time you’ve worked through all seven, you’ll have practiced magic rings, shell stitches, post stitches, picot edges, and joining methods — all in one satisfying project run.
