 MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

1. Yarn - Sport weight yarn (Fine yarn) for cotton+acrylic yarn or Fingering (Super fine
yarn) for 100% cotton yarn

Colors: white (approx. 20g), black (approx. 15g), brown (approx. 10g), green (approx. 5g)

I used:
Yarn Art Jeans (50g/160m, 55% Cotton, 45% Acrylic):
Colors: black - #53 (the bottom of the base, soil, eyes, mouth, nose)
green - #82 (leaves)
brown - #40 (tree)

Alize Cotton Gold (100g/330m, 55% cotton 45% polyacrylic)

Colors: white - #55 (the pot)

2. Crochet hook suitable for your yarn (I used 2 mm Clover Amour, it corresponds to
1.75 mm regular crochet hook)
3. Scissors, tapestry needle, pins
4. Stitch marker (I use a piece of yarn)
5. Fiberfill (stuffing)
6. Stuffing tool (I use wooden skewers and tweezers)
7. Wire 2 mm (I needed about 60 cm).
It is better to use copper wire, it is stable, durable and bends easily, but you can
also use steel or aluminum wire.
8. A piece of plastic, to make the bottom steady (I used a lid of a plastic container)

17. 6 sc, ch 2 (8)

Continue crocheting the next round starting from the 1st stitch of the previous round (p.20).
Mark the 2nd of 2 chains (p.21 - red loop), we will need it while crocheting the second branch.

18. 6 sc, 2 sc along the chain, make sure to crochet only into BLO of the chain (p.21 - white
loops), as we will need the front loops (red and yellow) to crochet the second branch (p.22).
19-27. (9 rounds) 8 sc (8)
28. dec, 6 (7) Because of the crochet tension, your branch may
29-32. (4 rounds) 7 sc (7) be shorter than expected. If you consider that it is
33. dec, 5 (6) not long enough, add a few rows, but remember
34-43. (10 rounds) 6 sc (6) how many, to make the same number of rows on
the second branch.

Measure how much wire you will need, it should be inserted into the branch and about half of the
body (p.23), cut 2 such pieces. Bend the bottom and top parts (p.24), insert the wire (p.25).

3 sc on the side part.

Cut the yarn off leaving 40-50 cm. Weave in the end using the "straight edge" method, but in this
case do not skip any stitches, insert the needle into the 1st stitch of the row.

 ASSEMBLING
Pin the eyes between rounds 15 and 25 (if you count from
the 1st white round, the eyes will be between the 8th and 18th
61
rounds), the shortest distance between eyes is 6 stitches (on
the 14th round) (p.61).

Make sure that the middle part of the tree (the place where
the branches are divided) corresponds with the middle part
of the face.

Sew them around using an invisible stitch: grab a stitch on

the head (p.62), insert the needle into a stitch on the eye (from
the inner side - p.63), insert it back into the next stitch on the eye (from the outer side - p.64).

Sew the eyes around and weave in the end.

62 63 64

Cut a piece of yarn (approximately 10 cm) and pin it to create a guideline for embroidering the
mouth (as shown in the p.65).

Embroider the mouth with black yarn, you will need 50-60 cm for the mouth and nose. If your
yarn looks thin, you may use 2 threads for embroidery. Thread a needle and embroider the mouth
following this guideline using running stitch (p.66,67).

 Cover the blank spaces left with vertical stitches (p.68-70).

Don't cut the yarn off, continue to embroider the nose.

68 69 70

Mark the points where the nose should be (if you count
71
from the 1st white row, the nose will be between 6th and
8th rounds). The distance between the upper points is 1
stitch and between the lower points is 5 stitches (p.71).

Embroider the nose making 3 stitches for each nostril

(p.71-74).

Weave in the yarn end.
