Charming Crochet Calla Lily Flower Pot Pattern for Table Decor
You can choose soft yarn colors like white, green, or pastel shades to make it feel fresh and natural, and the smooth petals give it a clean, polished look. It works perfectly as a decoration for your desk, shelf, or bedside table, and it also makes a thoughtful gift that doesn’t require watering.
The pattern begins by creating the flower shapes, which are built with simple stitches that form the classic calla lily curve.
As you continue, the petals take on a smooth, tapered look that feels elegant and easy to shape.
Then the pot is made separately and joined together, giving the whole piece a strong base so it stands upright without bending.
The contrast between the flower and the pot adds depth, making the final piece look more realistic and decorative.
Many people enjoy making multiple flowers in different colors and arranging them together, creating a small bouquet effect. Overall, this project feels relaxing to work on and leaves you with a charming handmade decor item that looks beautiful from every angle.
Materials
-
Yarn: White or Cream (for the flower), Yellow (for the center/spadix), and Green (for the leaves and stem).
-
Recycled Base: A plastic bottle (PET) cut to size to act as the internal structure for the pot.
-
Hook: Size 3.0 mm.
-
Support: Thin craft wire for the stems and leaves.
-
Potting: A sponge or foam piece to secure the flowers inside the pot.
-
Tools: Scissors, hot glue, pliers, and stitch markers.
Special Features
-
Eco-Friendly Structure: The project cleverly uses "PET" (recycled plastic bottles) as the core of the pot, providing rigid reinforcement that saves on fiberfill and yarn.
-
Wired Versatility: Because the stems and leaves are wired, the calla lily can be bent into elegant, natural-looking curves or tightly closed for a budding look.
-
No-Fill Potting: Unlike many amigurumi plants, this design uses a sponge insert rather than stuffing, making the flowers much more stable and upright.
Level of Difficulty
Beginner. The flower is constructed using simple rounds of increasing single crochets, and the leaf follows a basic tapered pattern. The assembly is straightforward and fast.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Size Adjustments: If you want a larger flower, simply continue the increase rounds for two or three more rows before adding the picot tip.
-
Recycle Habit: Martha emphasizes using whatever plastic containers you have at home—this makes each pot unique and reduces waste.
Uses
-
Mother's Day Gift: A low-maintenance "plant" that lasts forever.
-
Home Decor: Ideal for small spaces like desks or bathroom shelves.
Conclusion
The Mini Alcatraz is a quick-to-craft project that looks remarkably elegant given its simplicity. By combining recycled plastic with delicate crochet work, you create a sturdy and beautiful gift that carries a meaningful eco-friendly message.
Tip: When wrapping the wire for the spadix, apply a small dot of glue at the very tip and at the base of the yellow section. This prevents the yarn from sliding off the wire when you're shaping the flower later.
