Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I wanted to share a simple little flower pot cover with you – in case you get potted plants (like me!) for Valentine’s Day! Each year I seem to get one small pot of miniature roses – which in the spring I add to my garden – I much prefer them to cut flowers! This pot cover would also work well for Mother’s Day.

EASY/INTERMEDIATE – must know how to work FP and BP stitches and find the 3rd loop (back bar) of a hdc stitch

To fit a plastic pot 10. 5 cm diameter, omit R5 and work the pattern using 32 stitches
