Materials Needed:

- Stitch marker
- Two strands of cotton yarn to make the pot sturdier
Pot Pattern:
Magic Circle:
- Start with a magic circle using a 4 mm hook and two strands of yarn.
- Six single crochets (sc) in the magic circle (amigurumi style, do not close the round with a slip stitch, continue in spiral).

Round 3:
- One sc in the first stitch, two sc in the next repeat around → 18 stitches.

- One sc in the first two stitches, two sc in the third stitch repeat around → 24 stitches.
Round 5:
- One sc in the first three stitches, two sc in the fourth stitch repeat around → 30 stitches.
Round 6:
- Start working in the back loop only for all 30 stitches to begin shaping the sides of the pot.
From Round 8 to 11:
- Work 36 single crochets in each round, one sc in each stitch. This forms the sides of the pot.
Decrease Round:
