The deep red petals are beautifully curved, and the green foliage creates a natural-looking contrast. This lush version is perfect as a centerpiece or a statement piece for handmade flower collections.

Red Pot with Lace Detail and Vivid Anthuriums

The final variation introduces a brighter, red crochet pot accented with a white lace band, giving it a festive or vintage look. The bold red flowers with textured petals and yellow-tipped spadices create a strong visual impact. This design is great for holidays, kitchen displays, or craft showcases.

Row 1: sl st or sc back down the chain  
FO, leave long tails.

Tip: Wrap the stem chain tightly around a floral wire or pipe cleaner before attaching to add structure and bendability.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Attach spadix to spathes:
Use a needle and the tail from the spadix to sew it securely into the center of each red spathe.
Attach spathes and leaves to stems:
Stitch each flower or leaf to the tip of its corresponding stem using matching yarn.
Stuff the pot firmly.
Insert stems deeply into the stuffing or poke them through a foam base if available. Use hot glue for extra hold if desired.
Arrange stems:
Position the two flowers and one leaf upright, and angle the second leaf outward for balance and a natural look.
Finishing touches:
Shape the spathes gently with your fingers or steam for elegant curves. Adjust stem bends as needed.

Tips & Notes

Blocking: Use steam to shape and flatten the spathes and leaves if they curl excessively.
Yarn choice: Cotton is preferred for structure; acrylic may be too soft unless reinforced with wire.
Customizing colors: Try pink or white spathes for variation. Spadix can also be worked entirely in yellow.
Gifting idea: Add a ribbon or crochet tag around the pot rim for personalization.
