MOD COCHET PLANT POT COVER Pattern; Ocean Park-WA

I like color.

Two of my newer plants are still in their plastic store pots … that will be changing soon; they don't need large pots yet, but they do need colorful pot covers - so, I got busy and made this cute little crochet turquoise pot cover 😊

This pattern is very simple to work.

And, it will complement my baby spider plant, nicely 👌

Materials:  15-oz. Butter Tub, thoroughly washed & dried; Turquoise Worsted; #G aluminum hook; Tapestry needle; Scissors; Plastic Bag; Decorative trim (I used Dollar Store Dragonflies)

ch = chain

st = stitch

sc = single crochet

sl St = slip stitch

inc = increase 1 st

T = turn

rnds = rounds

EA = each

MOD COCHET PLANT POT COVER Pattern

Cover bottom ~ Row 1: With worsted & crochet hook, CO 15 sts: ch 1 & T

Row 2: Inc 1 st in the first & last sts (16 sc); ch 1 & T

Row 3: Inc 1 st in first sc, work even to last sc - inc in next sc (18 sc); ch 1 & T

Rows 4 thru 7: Sc evenly in each st across row (18 sc); ch 1 & T

Rows 8 & 9: Make 1 dec over the first 2 sc's, work even to last 2 sc's - make 1 dec over last 2 sc's; there should be 14 sc on last row worked. Ch 1 & T

Cover Sides ~ Rows 10 thru 14: Sc around the bottom base piece, increasing 1 sc in EA corner - do not ch 1 & do not turn work on either row … you will work each row now in the round; there should be 68 sc on last row worked.

Rows 15 thru 28: Work sc rows evenly, without inc's; at the end of last row, T & work 1 row of sl st along the backside of sts worked. EO

Backstitch sl sts thru back loops = BACK of work view.

Backstitch sl st = FRONT of work view.

Cut plastic bag to fit with a little overhang to tuck under pot edging as you stitch it down …

Fold overlap under & secure.

Tack dragonflies to front.

When the soil dries, I'm going to transplant this baby Spider Plant into this new pot cover -  and place it atop my bathroom cabinet.
