Flower - Potted Plant - Crochet Pattern

POTTED PLANTS – FLOWER

Always green, always blooming, always pretty. :)
And all that without watering. Even the location doesn't matter to this low-maintenance plant: sunny, shady, total darkness... From what other flower can you say that? :)
It even brings its own soil. Which, by the way, can be individually fitted to a pot of your liking. Tips on how to find the perfect size for your pot can be found within this pattern as well, of course.

Oh, and don't panik, this flower can be made almost without any kind of sewing! The petals and leaves are crocheted on during the pattern. So they always sit perfectly in place.

Note:
My patterns have two parts.

• You're a pro? Great, then the first part of my pattern is most likely all you need. You'll find pure crochet i- nstructions there with a few pictures on the side. Have a quick look on page 2 to check which pages to print (the box in the upper left corner).
• You're a beginner? Then additionally to the pure crochet instructions you'll find lots of step-by-step instructions for the different steps in the second part of this pattern. Everything is explained in detail with lots of pictures and in understandable words.
