OK…… so this is something I’ve been wanting to make for a while, so I thought on this very dull, cold and rainy morning in August that I’d finally spend a bit of time making one!

I have my own succulent that lives next to the computer and its thriving!  The star of many an Instagram picture!

The blue one bought a succulent (I’ve no idea whats it is), and its been since forgotten about by him and me – apart from the odd water!  It’s lived in the utility room, on the draining board for a good few months, unloved.

I was starting to feel sorry for it.   It’s just in its original pot, stuffed in an old can so it doesn’t leak everywhere!

So  queue a super chunky make!

You will need:

10mm crochet hook

scissors

needle (for sewing in ends – or just tuck them inside)

1/2 ball or each  Cygnet Seriously chunky in  Slate Grey and Cream.

stitch marker.

A tuna tin/ can  (washed and dried)

A 10cm plant pot.
