African Violets

[rascalsmom]

I saw this pattern in my regular Lion Brand newsletter, and just had to make it--it's so cute!

 

It was quick and easy to make; I made it during our recent snowstorm (we got 22" or more!).

 

I have it in our basement family room--the perfect plant for down there, since there isn't any daylight!

 

 

Thanks for looking!

Very pretty! I've had that one in my WIMs forever!

Very pretty! Glad you got some good crochet time in with the weather we just had. Looks like more is on the way though

Very pretty and so low care.

Yes, very low care! I have a bunch of African violets, but THIS one will never stop blooming!!

lovely African Violets. Just my speed, the kind you can't kill. Great job, thanks for sharing.

Oh how pretty. I love african violets. I use to raise them under lights in my basement in our home in New Jersey.

I like yours better, no mess and no fuss.

Love the African Violets. I never have much luck with the real thing. I'll have to give these a try myself sometime.

Thank you...yes, I've seen Planet June's version, and hers are a lot more realistic-looking! This pattern, however, was a freebie!

Oh, that's cute!

I'm so IMPRESSED!

Very, very, nice. Wouldn't this be a great gift for a nursing home or hospital patient, teacher or just about anyone.

Thanks for sharing.

Annie's Attic had a whole series of potted plant patterns back in the 80's... I have the whole set but have never made any of them. I wanted to make a few of them for a friend that could only kill plants but never did get to it...

 

What a great way to sit out a snowstorm!

I was just checking the Lion Brand website cus this would be an awesome mother's day gift for my mom (she ALWAYS had african violets when i was growing up) but I can't seem to find it.. Would you happen to know the name of the pattern or if it's even on the website at all???

I guess it's considered "amigurumi". Have fun! It's very easy and quick!

 

Oh...it called for "polyfill pellets" which I didn't have, so I used rice!

I've made part of this, but I'm struggling to see how to sew the top onto the pot.

 

Where did you sew it on at?
