Flower pot (lightbrown yarn)
Begin crocheting from the bottom.
Rnd 1: start 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: inc 6 times [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in next 2 st, inc) repeat 6 times [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in next 3 st, inc) repeat 6 times [30]
Rnd 6: (sc in next 4 st, inc) repeat 6 times [36] Slst and 1 ch.
Rnd 7: to keep the number of stitches the same, continue crocheting in the stitch with 1 ch. 36 sc in the
back loop only. Now it’s time to prepare the disk for the bottom. Cut the circle of the necessary diameter.
Rnd 89: sc in all 36 st [36]
Rnd 10: (sc in next 17 st, inc) repeat 2 times [38]
Rnd 1112: sc in all 38 st [38]

Rnd 14: sc in all 40 st [40]
Rnd 15: 40 sc in the front loop only. So, from the wrong side we get an additional round for crocheting
the soil. Honestly speaking I don’t like sewing parts together, that is why this variant is more convenient
for me. (Photo 3)
Rnd 16: (sc in next 18 sc, inc) repeat 2 times [42]
