I am so excited to share my newest creation! I was inspired by the viral Monstera Leaf coasters in the little pots, but decided to put a St. Patrick’s Day spin on it.
*If you do not crochet and would like to purchase a set, you can do so here in my Etsy shop!*
To start, I used a shamrock pattern found on youtube by RonariCrochet. You can find the link here. It is very quick to make and comes out absolutely adorable. I used Hobby Lobby ‘I love this cotton’ yarn in the color Serene Spa and my trusty Clover Armour 5.0mm hook. The only changes I made were to the stem. I preferred mine a little shorter.
The pot is my own pattern, super quick and easy to whip up. Here’s how I did it:

- ch1, HDC in each stitch around. (30 sts)
- ch1, [HDC in first 3 sts, HDC2TOG .] *repeat around. Join to first stich and weave in ends. I like to use the invisible join, there are some great tutorials on youtube.
To finish off I cut a piece of faux leather and attached it to the pot with a Chicago tag. You can also sew on a tag, add a button, or decorate however you want.
Here are the materials I used to make the leather tag. I cut a simple rectangle with rounded edges, and use a leather punch tool to make the hole for the Chicago screw.
All from Amazon: Faux leather sheets, cutting tool, chicago screws.
