- Finished Height: 11 inches
- Finished Diameter: 4 inches
- Gauge: 20 sts and 27 rows per 4 inches in stockinette; if adjusting for another yarn weight, we advise using needles that are 2 sizes smaller than what is typically recommended for your chosen yarn to achieve a thick and sturdy fabric.
- Yarn: You'll need scraps of worsted weight yarn in various colors: A for the pot, B for the soil, C for the stem and leaves, D for the flower center, and E for the flower petals.
- Tools: Prepare your knitting kit with a set of 5 double-pointed needles (DPNs) sized 5 (3.75 mm) and a stitch marker.
