I love crochet and I love plants, so what better way to combine the two than to make a
crochet planter! For this crochet planter pattern I used some Moya Asili that I had in my
stash. This yarn is quite roughly textured and is great for more sturdy or hard wearing
projects like planters and baskets. If you can’t get hold of Moya yarn, then you can easily
use some sturdy cotton or even twine.
While I intended for this design to be used as a planter, one could very easily use it as a
basket in a play room or nursery. You can also use chunkier yarn and a larger crochet
hook for a bigger basket.

Assembly
1. Using black embroidery cotton or black yarn, stitch a nose onto the snout.
2. Using the yarn tail, stitch the snout and ears in place and stitch the ears in place.
3. Embroider or add safety eyes** on either side of the snout.
**Tip: The posts of the safety eyes may stick out on the inside of your work, which will
affect how well the pot will sit in the planter. Do not cut the safety eye posts to shorten
them as this will weaken the safety eye and it may fall out! The best method to shorten
these posts is to gently heat the plastic using a lighter so that it begins to melt. Then
4/6
press firmly down on the heated plastic with the back of a spoon to flatten the post. You
will need to repeat this a few times to fully flatten the post. Please be careful when using
this method as both yarn and plastic are highly flammable!!
