Free Crochet Plant Holder Pattern, One Skein and So Easy

Hello, my crochet friend!

This one is for the leftover yarn drawer. One skein was sitting there, not quite enough for anything big, and I kept thinking it wanted to become something. A plant holder turned out to be exactly the right size job for it.

This free crochet plant holder pattern uses one skein of cotton yarn, works up in an evening, and fits an 18 inch pot. All you need is basic stitches you already know.

Quick answer: This is a free crochet plant holder pattern worked in rounds with double crochet and single crochet, using one skein of worsted weight cotton yarn and a 5mm hook. It fits an 18 inch circumference pot and is beginner friendly from start to finish.

Notes

The pattern is worked in rounds and in one piece

Ch3 at the beginning of the row does count as 1st stitch, but Ch1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch

You can work this pattern in one color or multiple, as you wish. I used one color

If changing colors, make sure to have a changing technique and weave your ends in

Sandra’s tip: Once you’ve got the rounds down, this is a good pattern to keep by the couch. Nothing here needs your full attention the way a garment does. If you like this kind of quick, one-skein project, the boho-inspired crochet wall hanging and the one skein crochet jar cozy are cut from the same cloth, small, useful, and done in an evening.

A little unfinished thought

I still have half the skein left over, which means there’s a second one coming, probably in a color I haven’t decided on yet.
