African Violets

[Ms.Oz]

This is PlanetJune's pattern. I made the larger one (pattern includes two different sizes) using Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Pattern was easy to follow, love the end product!

Very Pretty, and the best thing is you cannot kill it!!! I tend to kill any plant brought into the house!!!!

 

I will have to try one of these!!! LOL

That's exactly why I bought the pattern! I'm a plant-killer too

Ooh pretty African Violets and ones I wouldn't send to the big greenhouse in the sky! Lovely.

[Mrs. Principal]

You did a great job! Very pretty.

[crabby rat]

Awesome! AND you don't have to remember to water it! BONUS!

[cshort]

That is very pretty.

[stitchgirl]

That's very cute. Looks just like my real one that I keep in my kitchen window.

I love it! African Violets are my very favorite flower. Beautiful job!

[MimiFL]

Gorgeous!

 

I've been eyeing that pattern for a while but was afraid it'd be too hard (but then you said it was easy)... My question is how does it all hold in there? I can't figure it out. It looks so natural! Is it all sewn together?

[rashidah]

BEAUTIFUL :yay:yay

[Threecats]

[Simply.Crochet]

You make the pot first, then you make the "dirt", and you sew the dirt onto the pot leaving an opening to stuff it full of batting. I also cut a circle out of cardboard the same size as the bottom and taped a few large washers to it to give the bottom more form and weight it a bit (placed the weighted cardboard in the pot before stuffing). Once the dirt is completely sewn to the pot and stuffed, you make the leaves and flowers separately and sew them on as instructed. It's very easy. With two small kids I had it done in two days.

I agree, beauty without watering or killing it which I tend to do also!. Very nice! GBU!:)

[MimiFL]

Thanks, Ms Oz! Now I really want to buy that pattern! It'd look great in the office.

Those are so pretty. I used to have African Violets but I could never keep them alive. I love the way they look though. Really pretty.

[pineapplequeen]

So pretty!!

[TurtleLvr]

I broke down and bought the pattern...along with her sea turtle one.

Aww that is so pretty! I love it. I'd like to make one for my grandma who is recovering from a stroke. Easy to maintain

[breeze530]
