Harvest Stripe Planter *crochet pattern*

Bring a little handmade charm to your home with this sweet crocheted planter! Featuring warm stripes of brown, deep orange, and rich red, this simple project has an earthy, autumn-inspired feel that looks beautiful on a shelf, desk, or windowsill.

Designed as a cozy cover for your favorite plant pot, it’s an easy way to add a handmade touch to a simple houseplant. Just slip your potted plant right inside; no soil or dirt goes directly into the crochet! If you’re new to crochet, this is a great beginner-friendly project that uses simple stitches while letting you play with color and create something both useful and decorative. Grab your favorite Clover hook and a few coordinating yarns, and let’s get crocheting!
