Crochet String of Pearls tutorial
- The tutorial demonstrates how to crochet an updated version of the String of Pearls hanging plant.
- The pattern is versatile in terms of the yarn and hook used.
Materials Needed
- White, green, and brown yarn.
- 3.75 mm hook.
- Scissors and a darning needle.
Creating the Base of the Pot
- Start with the brown yarn and create a magic circle.
- Chain one to secure the circle.
- Chain two to begin forming the stitches.
- Insert a total of 14 double crochets into the magic circle.
- Pull the loop tightly closed to finish the round.
- Insert the hook into the first double crochet, not the chain two space, and finish off with a slip stitch.
Row Two: Increase Round
- Chain three to start the row.
- Perform two double crochets in each stitch space, resulting in 28 stitches by the end of the round.
- Finish the round with a slip stitch.
Creating the Brim of the Pot
- Chain two and work in the top loop.
- Insert a half double crochet in the back loop of each stitch around to create the brim.
- Complete the round with a slip stitch.
Adding Rows to Elevate the Pot
- Continue with rounds of half double crochets for a total of four additional rounds (rows four to seven).
- Each round begins with chaining two and works in the same pattern as previously described.
Forming the Lip of the Brim
- Chain two and work the half double crochets into the front loop only.
- This forms a flip-over lip, giving the pot a structured appearance.
- Finalize with a slip stitch and tie off the yarn.
Creating the Lid of the Pot
- Repeat the process used to create the base: a magic circle followed by chaining two, inserting 14 double crochets, and closure.
- In the second round, insert half double crochets instead of double crochets for a tighter lid.
- Finish the lid with a slip stitch and leave a long tail for sewing.
Constructing the String of Pearls
- Start with a slip knot using the green yarn.
- Chain a desired length (example of chaining 40 is given).
- Insert four double crochets into the fourth chain from the hook to create the first pearl.
- Continue to slip stitch, chain six, and create pearls along the entire chain.
- Repeat the process, varying the chain lengths for different string heights.
Assembling the Pot and Adding Stuffing
- Attach the lid to the pot using a needle by sewing it through the front and back loops.
- Stuff the pot using scrap yarn or craft store stuffing.
- Secure everything with slip stitches and hide the ends within the pot.
Creating the Hanging Rope
- Cut eight equal lengths of white yarn.
- Tie them together in a knot at the bottom.
- Separate into four pairs and begin tying knots to create a net-like structure.
- Adjust the knots to fit the pot’s lip, ensuring a secure fit.
- Finish by tying a final knot to form a loop or hook for hanging.
Final Touches
- Complete the arrangement of your String of Pearls on the pot.
- Ensure all pieces are securely attached and concealed.
