Crochet Hanging String of Pearls - Free Pattern

Pot

With brown yarn,

Round 1: In a magic circle, SC 6 (6 stitches)

Round 2: INC in each stitch* (12 stitches)

Round 3: INC, SC in the next stitch* (18 stitches)

Round 4: BLO, SC in each stitch (18 stitches)

Round 5: INC, SC in the next 2 stitches* (24 stitches)

Rounds 6-8: SC in each stitch (24 stitches)

Round 9: DEC, SC in the next 2 stitches* (18 stitches)

Round 10: FLO, SC in each stitch (18 stitches)

Slip stitch, tie off and weave in the end.

Optional: Add a cardboard circle to the inside bottom of the pot for structure.

Face

Eye Placement: 4 Rounds down from the top, 4 stitches apart.

Eyelashes & Mouth: Using three strands of black embroidery floss, add eyelashes and a mouth (I like to think of both as letter 'V's).

Rosy Cheeks: Using pink embroidery floss (all 6 strands) add some 'dashes' below the eyes. Pass through each rosy cheek twice.

Add stuffing.

Dirt:

With dark brown yarn,

Round 1: In a magic circle, SC 6 (6 stitches)

Round 2: INC in each stitch (12 stitches)

Round 3: INC, SC in the next stitch* (18 stitches)

Slip stitch, chain 1, tie off with a long tail. Weave in the beginning tail.

Puff Stitch Tutorial: 

A puff stitch is three unfinished HDC in the same stitch.

All of the following into the same stitch:

• We already have a loop on the hook (Loop Count 1)

• Yarnover, insert hook, yarnover, pull up a loop (Loop Count 3)

• Yarnover, insert hook, yarnover, pull up a loop (Loop Count 5)

• Yarnover, insert hook, yarnover, pull up a loop (Loop Count 7)

• Yarnover, pull through all 7 loops, chain 1

String of Pearls - Short (Make 4):

With green yarn, leaving a few inches of tail at the beginning

Chain 4, puff stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook, slip stitch into the next stitch*

Repeat 5 times for a total of 6 pearls.

Chain 1, tie off and weave the ending tail into the chains and trim excess.

String of Pearls - Long (Make 3):

With green yarn, leaving a few inches of tail at the beginning

Chain 4, puff stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook, slip stitch into the next stitch*

Repeat 7 times for a total of 8 pearls.

Chain 1, tie off and weave the ending tail into the chains and trim excess.

Assembly:

Attach the Strings of Pearls to the dirt by pulling the beginning tails through the top to the bottom. Tie the tails together on the bottom of the dirt and trim the excess yarn.

Using the dirt long tail and a yarn needle, attach the dirt to the pot on the inside of the last round of the pot. The last round was FLO so the inside loop should be visible inside the pot. The dirt will be nestled down into the pot a little.

Hanger:

With brown yarn, leaving a few inches of tail at the beginning,

Row 1: Chain 40, tie off with a few inches of tail (40 stitches)

Using the tails and a yarn needle, attach the Hanger to the inside of the pot on the left and right of the face. Tie off and trim any excess yarn.

And here we have an adorable Crochet Hanging String of Pearls! Feel free to get creative with the pot colors, the face, and varying lengths of pearls. These little succulents are perfect as rearview mirror car hangers or in office cubicles. As you can see, they whip up quickly so you could easily gift them.
