PocketAmi Plant Pals includes three original mini amigurumi crochet patterns (Sprout, Tuft, and Rosette) in removable pots, from the PocketAmi range by June Gilbank.
'Plant' each soil ball in its pot and your plant pal will look like a regular seedling, or pull it out of the pot to reveal the cute hidden character!
Plant Pals make perfect secret desk buddies as well as being fun for kids to play with. All the pots are all the same size, so you can swap them between the characters, and display them as regular plants or with the faces peeking out from the pots.
These are completely no-sew patterns: each plant and soil ball is worked as one piece, and the pot is a separate piece that fits snugly around the soil ball, so the pots won't accidentally fall off during playtime.
Tip: Try embroidering a different expression - smile, surprise, wink - on each soil ball, so there's an extra surprise when you pull the plants out of their pots!
