Crochet Tiny Plant

Materials:

Brown yarn (for dirt)
Green yarn (for plant tendrils)
Color of your choice (for basket)
Stuffing material
Crochet hook, size 2.25 millimeter
Stitch marker (or a spare piece of yarn)
Needle for sewing

For Creating the Pot:

Start with a magic ring.

Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
Pull the ring closed.
Place a stitch marker to mark the end of the round.
Increase in each stitch around (2 sc in each stitch) to have 16 stitches.
Work 1 sc in each stitch for 4 rounds.
Remove the stitch marker and flip the work right side out.
Slip stitch (sl st) into the next stitch.
Chain 2 and double crochet (dc) in the same stitch.

Work 1 dc in each stitch around.
Join with a sl st to the first dc.
Chain 14 for the first hanger string, cut the yarn, and pull through.
Count 5 (or 6) stitches from where you finished and attach yarn and chain 14 again for the second hanger string. Cut yarn and pull through.
Repeat step 13 for the third hanger string.
Leave all tail strings on the outside, we'll tuck them inside for stuffing later on.

Creating the Dirt:

Repeat the magic ring process from the pot.
Work 8 sc in the magic ring.
Increase in each stitch (16 sc).
Join with a sl st to the next stitch, chain 1 and leave a long tail for sewing.

Creating the Plant Tendrils (Bobble Tendrils):

Make one tendril with four bobbles, one with three, and one with two.
Chain 2, work 3 dc into the first stitch, and turn it into a bobble by pulling through the first of the 3 dc.
Chain 5, then in the second chain from the hook, make another bobble.
Repeat creating bobbles to the desired length of the tendril.

After completing all bobbles on a tendril, cut yarn and pull through. Don't forget to leave a tail for sewing if necessary.

Assembly:

Hide the tails of the bobbles within the bobbles themselves.
Connect tendrils where needed by sewing them together at the base.
Sew the plant tendrils onto the dirt patch, spacing them as desired.
Insert all tail pieces in the pot and use them as stuffing, with additional stuffing if needed.
Sew the dirt patch onto the top of the pot.
Before closing the top, ensure it's fully stuffed to give it a nice shape.
Tie the strings of the hanger together, cut any excess yarn, and make a knot for hanging.
