Are you ready for another fun and free crochet pattern? It’s getting to be warm and humid here in Ontario and typically in the warmer weather, I like to work on small projects. Things I can crochet while on a road trip, sitting on the deck or at the campsite. This plant pot cozy pattern is really great for travelling with and you can personalize by using one shade of yarn or multiple colours.
This would be a really cute teacher gift, adding this over a small plant pot with a little thank you note tied to the top. It doesn’t take much time and adding a handmade touch always adds something special.
