Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color when I make this pattern; try two shades of green for a more natural look or bright colors for a playful twist.

I often change the number and length of leaves to make fuller or more minimalist versions depending on where I plan to hang it.

I sometimes use a slightly thicker yarn and a larger hook to create a chunkier, more sculptural planter that looks great on a shelf.

I also enjoy making mini versions with finer yarn and a smaller hook to turn these into keychains or tiny car charms.

I recommend adding felt or embroidered details on a few leaves to create realistic variegation or unique patterns.

I will sometimes add a small wire inside a few leaf stems to give them poseable movement for a custom drape.

I like to swap the soil color to match seasonal decor—try warm browns for autumn or soft neutrals for a modern look.

I also make sets of three in graduated sizes and hang them together for a dramatic display that feels cohesive and handmade.

I encourage you to experiment with leaf shapes and stitch counts to design your own Monstera-inspired varieties.

I often change the rope material for hanging—twine, cord, or a crocheted chain all give different visual effects and strength.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the slip stitch at the end of rows will shift your stitch placement; always slip stitch into the first stitch when the row ends to keep the edges tidy. ✗ Forgetting to begin new rows with the correct chain height will distort your stitch height; start single crochet rows with ch 1 and double crochet rows with ch 2 as indicated. ✗ Stuffing too early or too much can make the soil ball hard to shape; stuff gradually and add stuffing at Row 10 of the soil to get a smooth finish. ✗ Not marking the positions for the hanging ropes can make them uneven around the rim; count 12-13 stitches between rope attachment points and mark them before tying. ✗ Ignoring tension consistency causes mismatched leaf sizes and loose edges; maintain the same tension throughout leaves and pot to ensure a cohesive look.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach each crocheted leaf to the soil ball by sewing the leaf tails into the soil surface so leaves drape outward; secure each leaf with hidden stitches.
  • Place the completed soil ball inside the pot and adjust leaf placement so the drooping leaves hang over the rim of the pot naturally.
  • Make three chains of 30 for the hanging ropes and tie each chain to the pot rim, spacing them approximately 12-13 stitches apart for even hanging.
  • After completing the soil decreases, cut yarn and leave a long tail; use that tail to sew the final opening closed securely before placing the soil in the pot.
  • Arrange and sew any additional leaves or stems to the soil or pot rim for fullness, tucking and securing ends to hide tails.

Important Notes

  • 💡Slip stitch in the first stitch at the end of every row and begin a chain at the start of a new row; single crochet rows begin with ch 1, double crochet with ch 2.
  • 💡Measure and mark three equally spaced attachment points on the pot rim before tying the hanging chains; the distance for each hanging rope is 12-13 stitches.
  • 💡Stuff the soil ball at Row 10 and add stuffing gradually to shape it smoothly; overstuffing can distort the pot fit and leaf placement.
  • 💡Cut yarn and leave a long tail when finishing the soil ball so you can sew the hole closed securely and attach the soil inside the pot.
