Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: The Pot (Make 1 in Terracotta)

The pot is worked in continuous rounds from the bottom up. Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring, work 6 sc into the ring. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Sc in next stitch, inc in next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
4. Round 4: *Sc in next 2 stitches, inc in next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. (24 stitches)
5. Round 5: *Sc in next 3 stitches, inc in next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. (30 stitches)
6. Rounds 6-10: Sc in each stitch around for 5 rounds. (30 stitches each round)
7. Round 11: *Sc in next 3 stitches, dec*; repeat from * to * around. (24 stitches)
8. Round 12: *Sc in next 2 stitches, dec*; repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
9. Stuff the pot firmly with polyester fiberfill. Make sure it's well-packed but not stretched out of shape.
10. Round 13: *Sc in next stitch, dec*; repeat from * to * around. (12 stitches)
11. Round 14: Dec around. (6 stitches)
12. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches). Thread the tail through a yarn needle, weave it through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight to close the hole, and secure. Weave in the end.

Part 2: The Heart (Make 1 in Blush Pink)

The heart is made in two identical halves, then joined together. This creates the classic heart shape with two rounded lobes and a pointed bottom.

First Half:

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring, work 6 sc into the ring. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: *Sc in next stitch, inc in next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)
4. Rounds 4-5: Sc in each stitch around for 2 rounds. (18 stitches each round)
5. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches). Set aside.

Second Half:

1. Repeat Rounds 1-5 of the first half exactly. Do not fasten off at the end of Round 5.

Joining the Two Halves:

1. Place the two halves together with the right sides facing out. The magic ring centers should be at the top, forming the two lobes of the heart.
2. Working through both layers (one stitch from each half together), single crochet around the entire edge. This joins the pieces and creates a neat border.
3. When you have crocheted about 3/4 of the way around, stop and stuff the heart firmly with fiberfill. Make sure the lobes are well-filled.
4. Continue single crocheting around the remaining edge to close the opening completely.
5. Finish: Slip stitch to the first sc, fasten off, and weave in the end.

Part 3: The Daisy (Make 1 in Cream and Leaf Green)

The daisy has a small center and 8 delicate petals. Work the center first, then add the petals.

Center (in cream):

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring, work 6 sc into the ring. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 8 inches) for sewing. Set aside.

Petals (make 8, in cream):

1. With cream yarn, chain 4.
2. Slip stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook.
3. Single crochet in the next chain.
4. Half double crochet in the last chain.
5. Slip stitch into the center ring (the magic ring from the center piece) to secure the petal.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each petal, spacing them evenly around the center ring. You should have 8 petals total.
7. Finish: Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Part 4: Stem and Leaves (Make 1 Stem, 2 Leaves in Leaf Green)

Stem:

1. Chain 10.
2. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook.
3. Single crochet in each remaining chain across. (9 stitches)
4. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 8 inches) for sewing.

Leaves (make 2):

1. Chain 6.
2. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook.
3. Half double crochet in the next chain.
4. Double crochet in the next chain.
5. Half double crochet in the next chain.
6. Single crochet in the last chain.
7. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 8 inches) for sewing.

Assembly

Now it's time to bring all the pieces together. Take your time with the sewing to ensure everything is secure and looks beautiful.

1. Attach the heart to the pot: Position the heart on the front of the pot, slightly above the center. Use the long tail from the heart to sew it securely in place. Make small, neat stitches along the edge of the heart, going through both the heart and the pot. Sew around the entire heart to ensure it's firmly attached.
2. Attach the stem to the daisy: Position the stem at the back of the daisy center. Use the long tail from the stem to sew it securely to the back of the daisy. Make sure it's centered and firmly attached.
3. Sew the daisy onto the heart: Place the daisy on the top of the heart, as if it's blooming from the pot. Use the long tail from the daisy center to sew it securely. Sew around the center of the daisy, going through the heart and the daisy center. Make sure the petals are spread out nicely.
4. Attach the leaves to the stem: Position one leaf on each side of the stem, near the top. Use the long tails from the leaves to sew them securely to the stem. Make sure they are angled outward for a natural look.
5. Weave in all ends: Use your yarn needle to weave in any remaining loose ends. Make sure they are hidden inside the pieces or on the back of the pot.
