PART 1: The Heart 

We start by making a crochet heart.

• Work in rounds. Do not turn unless specified.
• Use a stitch marker if needed to mark the first stitch of each round.

• Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring. (6)
• Round 2: inc 6 times. (12 sc)
• Round 3: [1 sc in next st, 1 inc in next st] x6. (18)
• Rounds 4 to 6: 1 sc in all st (18)

Fasten off and weave in the ends.
This piece is called Part A.

Repeat Rounds 1–6 to make the second half of the heart.
Do not fasten off after Round 6. This piece is called Part B.

Joining the Heart

• Round 7:

Join Part A and Part B.  With Part B still on the hook, hold Part A next to it, aligning the stitches.

Insert your hook through one stitch of Part A and the next stitch of Part B, yarn over, and make 1 sc.
Repeat this for the next 5 stitches (6 joining sc total).

Continue working 1 sc around the remaining stitches of both parts. (24)

• Round 8: [1 sc in next 2 st, 1 dec in next st] x6 (18)
• Round 9: sc in all st (18)

Start stuffing firmly, shaping the heart as you go.

• Round 10: [sc in next 4 st, dec in next st] x3 (15)
• Round 11: sc in all st (15)
• Round 12: [sc in next st, dec in next st] x5 (10)

Continue stuffing firmly.
Do not cut the yarn.

PART 2: The Stem 

For the stem, you will need a small amount of green yarn, a lollipop stick, and hot glue.

Wrap the lollipop stick tightly with green yarn.
Secure the yarn with a small amount of hot glue at the top and bottom of the stick.

Insert the wrapped stick into the heart and close the heart tightly.

You now have a crochet heart lollipop—perfect as a gift on its own!

PART 3: The Pot 

You will need yellow yarn (or any color you like), a D-3 (3.5 mm) hook, and a small amount of plastic pellets.

• Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring. (6)
• Round 2: inc 6 times. (12 sc)
• Round 3: [1 sc in next st, 1 inc in next st] x6. (18)
• Round 4: working in back loops only (blo): 1 sc in all st. (18)
• Round 5: 1 sc in all st. (18)
• Round 6: 1 sc in all st. (18)
• Round 7: [1 sc in next 2 st, 1 inc in next st] x6. (24)
• Round 8: 1 sc in all st. (24)
• Round 9: 1 sc in all st. (24)
• Round 10: 1 sc in all st. (24)
• Round 11: 1 sc in all st. (24)
• Round 12: 1 DC in all st. (24)

Yarn over and cut the yarn.

To finish the pot edge:
Skip the next stitch and insert your tapestry needle into the following stitch to create a new front loop. Insert the needle under the back loop of the previous stitch to create a new back loop. This technique creates a clean, seamless edge.

Turn the last round of double crochet outward to form the rim of the pot.

PART 4: The Soil

With brown yarn and a D-3 (3.5 mm) hook:

• Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring. (6)
  ⚠️ Do not close the magic ring too tightly!
• Round 2: inc 6 times. (12 sc)
• Round 3: [1 sc in next st, i1 nc in next st] x6. (18)

Slip stitch, fasten off, and leave a long tail to sew the soil securely into the pot.

PART 5: The Leaf 

With green yarn and a D-3 (3.5 mm) hook:

ch 7

1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in next 2 ch, 1 HDC in next 2 ch, 1 DC in next ch, 3 DC in next ch.
Working on the opposite side of the chain: 1 DC in next ch, 1 HDC in next 2 ch, 1 sc in next 2 ch. (13 stitches)

Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail to attach to the stem.

PART 6: Assembling the Flower 

Insert the lollipop stick into the magic ring of the soil piece. Decide how tall you want your flower to be. I left about 1.5” (4 cm) between the base of the heart and the soil. Once satisfied, close the magic ring tightly around the stick.

Attach the leaf at the base of the stem, just above the soil. For extra security, you can tie the yarn ends together underneath the soil.

Sew the soil into the pot. I added a ceramic magnet at the bottom of the pot for extra weight, then filled it with plastic pellets.

Finally, sew the soil piece to the pot just under the last round of double crochet so the seam remains invisible.
