A close-up view of an aloe vera plant in a blue pot dressed in a handmade pink crochet owl cozy, sitting on a wooden cutting board on a kitchen counter. The owl features large cream eye patches with safety eyes, a blue textured beak, and matching ruffled wings.

Back view of the blue pot showing the three horizontal white elastic bands connecting the sides of the pink crochet owl cozy, keeping it secured around the pot beneath the sprawling aloe vera leaves.

I have tried creating covers for my plant pots with varying degrees of success, but this pattern checked every single box! 🪴

My pot is the same width all the way down, but this design works just as well on a tapered cylinder pot because of the elastic in the back. The elastic is honestly such a genius hack for beginners who haven't quite mastered crochet shaping techniques yet and can't find a pattern that fits their exact pot dimensions.

Plus, I have been oddly obsessed with wanting to crochet an owl lately, and this was the perfect stash buster project for September! 🦉

Crochet Essentials2 Pieces Knitting Counters, Knitting Needle Marking Tool, Plastic Knitting Stitch CounterI have tried these mechanical row/stitch counters and I really prefer them over the digital stitch counters. Amazon mostly sells digital counters and I don't love them. There isnt a replaceable battery so if I put down a WIP with its counter and don't pick it up in 3 months, I worry the counter is dead. In order to wake up the screen, you have to click the button but it is the same button that you click to add a row. I worry as soon as I push it to wake it up that I have also pushed it to add a row. The digital ones are much less expensive but I prefer these mechanical ones.
