Crochet Plants Are Here So You Can Stop Killing Your Real Plants

Plants offer a nice aesthetic and all, but for many, they’re somehow more high maintenance than pets and they’re nearly impossible to keep alive. Sure, those who struggle to keep plants alive have appreciated past features like this Tamagotchi Pet-like smart planter and these little crochet house plants, but when it comes down to it, there’s nothing as inviting as a home filled with real plants.

Except for, perhaps, these realistic crochet plant patterns from Pippa Patterns Crochet on Etsy! Purchase of these plant crochet patterns comes with a photo tutorial for making them yourself, in a wide range of different plant types — none of which will need to be watered!

This particular pattern culminates in a beautiful crochet Monstera Swiss Cheese plant design that works great for interior design inside your home, general decor in your shop or even for things like unique bouquets and crochet floral arrangements.

As for what kind of yarn to use, the product description says 3ply and 4ply yarn were used on the pictured model, but that crochet cotton 10 or DK could also be used. The crochet plant pattern’s description also says 1.5-, 2-, and 2.5-millimeter crochet hooks were used to make the item.

In addition, the description says the crochet Monstera’s leaves were determined by which size yarn was used to make them.

Measurements for the smaller leaves come to around six inches by six inches (15 cm by 15 cm) using 3ply yarn or crochet cotton size 10, while medium leaves measure about seven inches by seven inches (18 cm by 18 cm) using 4ply yarn, and large leaves measure roughly eight inches by eight inches (20 cm by 20 cm) using double 3ply or double 10, or any DK, according to the shop.

Purchase of the realistic plant crochet patterns also comes with the brand and color codes used to make the pictured models. Upon purchasing any of Pippa Patterns Crochet’s tutorials, you gain instant access to PDF format instructional guides to make the crochet plants.

The Monstera crochet pattern itself comes with over a hundred pages detailing the process, and while it’s a fairly difficult pattern — rated intermediate to advanced by the shop — many users found the in-depth instructions to be super helpful.

In a five-star review of the Monstera crochet pattern, one user wrote, “So much more in depth than any pattern purchased previously - elsewhere. Really easy to follow instructions with photos as guides. I had tried an alternative monstera pattern but gave up as it was badly written and therefore hard to follow.” The user continued, “I'm only half way through but can't wait to finish and see what more options you have for my next project.”

The crochet rose cushion pattern looks great as a throw pillow, and is rated for a crochet skill level of advanced beginner, according to the description. Many reviews also called the product easy to put together, and suitable for those who aren’t very experienced at crocheting.
