1. Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch where you want the popcorn.
2. Work 4 double crochets (dc) into that same stitch.
3. Remove your hook from the loop.
4. Insert your hook from front to back into the top of the first dc you made.
5. Pick up the dropped loop and pull it through that first dc.

Assembling Your Crochet Succulent Plant

Now that you’ve got all your leaves and the center piece crocheted, it’s time to bring it all together. This part is super satisfying—watching those little pieces turn into a lush, realistic succulent.

Step 1: Arrange Your Leaves

Start by laying out your leaves on a flat surface in sizes (L, M, S) . Play around with the placement the leaves until you are happy

• largest leaves go on the outside,
• medium ones in the middle, and the
• small leaves closer to the center.
• The center piece sits right in the middle as the finishing touch.

Step 2: Sew the Leaves Together

Using the long tails you left on each leaf, either USE the long tails OR thread a yarn needle with matching yarn.

Begin by sewing the leaves to each other, by size, and joining each layers into a circle to finish,

Then start laying the circle of leaves on top of each other, starting with the LARGE leaves at the bottom, and attatching medium leaves to the large leaves,

Then continue securing the small leaves to medium leaves. Keeping the stitches neat but secure.

Step 3: Attach the Center Piece

Once the leaves are securely joined, sew the center piece right in the middle.

Step 4: Shape Your Succulent

After sewing everything together, gently shape your succulent by bending upwards the tips of the leaves, or arranging the leaves as you like. Since the leaves aren’t stuffed, they’ll have a nice, natural look—just like real succulents.

Step 5: Display and Enjoy!

Place your finished crochet succulent in a small pot, on your desk, or anywhere you want a touch of greenery without the hassle.

These make excellent sellers at markets and for handmade crochet gifts, (I gave my coworker on to sit on her deask as a secret santa gift and she LOVES it) or to use as crochet house plants that never wilt.
