Materials (with exact measurements and tools)

• Yarn: Worsted/Medium (4)
  • Honey (gold): 35 g (≈70 m / 77 yds)
  • Pot color (brown/terracotta): 25 g (≈50 m / 55 yds)
  • Rim accent (cream, optional): 5 g (≈10 m / 11 yds)
  • Tiny bee accents (black + yellow scraps, optional): 2–3 g total
• Hook: 3.5 mm (E-4) for a firm, no-gaps fabric
• Safety eyes for optional bee: 6 mm pair (or embroider for baby-safe gifts)
• Fiberfill stuffing: 20–25 g
• Tapestry needle: size 16–18
• Locking stitch marker: 1
• Scissors: small and sharp
• Measuring tape
• Optional base support: cardboard/plastic circle, 4.5–5 cm (1.8–2.0 in)
• Optional hardware: 25 mm (1 in) split ring + short chain for keychain

Note: These amounts produce one pot approximately 9–10 cm (3.5–4 in) tall.

Difficulty Level
Beginner (Easy): primarily single crochet in continuous rounds, with straightforward increases/decreases and a simple color change.

Special Features

• Seamless body worked in continuous rounds
• Crisp base edge using a back-loop-only turn round
• Quick honey drip detail that looks advanced but feels easy
• Minimal sewing; customizable size and rim styling
• Clean color-change technique for a professional finish

Finished Size and Sizing Tips

• Expected size: 9–10 cm tall, 7–8 cm wide at the belly (with 3.5 mm hook + worsted yarn).
• To size up: use a 4.0–4.5 mm hook or bulky yarn; additionally, add 1–2 straight rounds.
• To size down: use a 3.0 mm hook or DK yarn; conversely, remove 2 straight rounds.
• For best results, keep the fabric dense; therefore, if stuffing shows, drop the hook size.

Step-by-Step: Honey Pot Body (with making times)
Crochet in continuous rounds; do not join unless noted. Furthermore, place a marker in the first stitch of each round and move it up as you go.

• Step 1: Base Circle (10–15 minutes)
  • Round 1: Pot color; 6 sc in magic ring (6).
  • Round 2: Inc in each st around (12).
  • Round 3: (Sc 1, inc) x6 (18).
  • Round 4: (Sc 2, inc) x6 (24).
  • Round 5: (Sc 3, inc) x6 (30).
  • Round 6: (Sc 4, inc) x6 (36).
  • Round 7: (Sc 5, inc) x6 (42).
  • Checkpoint: The base should lie flat at about 5–5.5 cm wide. If it ruffles, tighten slightly; if it cups, loosen a touch or adjust one increase round.
• Step 2: Turn for Walls (3–5 minutes)
  • Round 8: BLO sc around (42).
  • As a result, you’ll get a crisp edge that helps the walls rise neatly.
• Step 3: Straight Sides (15–20 minutes)
  • Rounds 9–14: Sc around (42) for 6 rounds.
  • Meanwhile, lightly stuff after Round 12 so the base stays even.
• Step 4: Gentle Belly Taper (10–12 minutes)
  • Round 15: (Sc 6, dec) x6 (36).
  • Round 16: Sc around (36).
  • Round 17: (Sc 4, dec) x6 (30).
  • Consequently, the form begins to curve elegantly toward the neck.
• Step 5: Neck and Rim Prep (8–10 minutes)
  • Round 18: Sc around (30).
  • Round 19: Switch to cream (optional rim), sc around (30).
  • For a clean change, switch colors on the last yarn-over of the previous stitch.
• Step 6: Honey Pour and Rim (10–15 minutes)
  • Round 20: Switch to honey (gold), sc around (30).
  • Round 21: Create 3–5 drips:
    • Repeat around: [sc in next st, ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch, sl st in next ch, sl st to next st on rim].
    • Importantly, keep stitch count at 30 by working normal sc between drips.
  • Round 22: Sc around (30) to lock the drips and smooth the edge.
• Step 7: Narrow the Mouth (8–10 minutes)
  • Round 23: (Sc 3, dec) x6 (24).
  • Round 24: Sc around (24).
  • At this stage, add more stuffing and shape the belly evenly.
• Step 8: Finish Opening (8–10 minutes)
  • Round 25: (Sc 2, dec) x6 (18).
  • Round 26: (Sc 1, dec) x6 (12).
  • Round 27: Dec around (6). Fasten off with a long tail; weave through front loops of remaining 6 sts, pull to close, and secure.
  • Finally, adjust stuffing so the pot stands firmly.

Approximate total time for beginners: 75–95 minutes. If adding a tiny bee or embroidered label, budget an additional 15–20 minutes.

Common Mistakes (and quick fixes)

• Losing your place: Always move the stitch marker every round; alternatively, use a row counter.
• Wavy or cupped base: Ruffles indicate loose tension or too many increases; meanwhile, cupping indicates tight tension or too few increases. Therefore, adjust tension first, then tweak one increase round if necessary.
• Stuffing peek-through: Downsize your hook or tighten tension; additionally, use smaller tufts of stuffing.
• Messy color changes: Change colors on the final yarn-over before the new round; then snug both tails gently and weave them back along their color path.
• Lumpy sides: Instead of cramming, add stuffing gradually and shape with your hands as you go.
• Uneven drips: For uniformity, keep all drips ch-4; or, for a natural look, intentionally alternate ch-3 and ch-5 at even intervals.

Variations You’ll Love

• Plush Market Size: Use bulky (5) yarn with a 5.5 mm hook; additionally, add 1–2 straight rounds before tapering.
• Mini Keychain: Switch to DK (3) yarn and a 3.0 mm hook; consequently, remove two straight rounds and one decrease round. Then attach a 25 mm split ring through rim stitches.
• Embroidered Label: Add “HONEY” in backstitch with black floss; moreover, stitch a tiny heart for extra charm.
• Bee Buddy: Crochet a small striped oval, add 6 mm safety eyes (or embroider), and sew on felt/crochet wings; afterward, secure it to the rim.
• Drip Drama: Mix drip lengths (ch-3, ch-4, ch-5) while keeping spacing consistent so the silhouette stays balanced.

Tutor Suggestions for Smoother Making

• First, count out loud or use a digital counter to reduce errors.
• Next, practice invisible decreases (front loops only) on a swatch; consequently, your shaping will look cleaner.
• Additionally, choose an ergonomic hook to maintain consistent tension over longer sessions.
• For color changes, leave 10–12 cm tails and weave them along the same-color stitches; thus, the inside remains neat.
• If gifting to babies or pets, avoid safety eyes; instead, embroider features and double-secure all knots.
• For a perfectly flat base, lightly steam just the bottom after Round 7 (keep steam at a distance, especially with acrylic).

Finishing Tips for a Polished Look

• Shaping: Gently roll the pot between your palms; as a result, the sides smooth and the belly becomes defined.
• Closing: After cinching the final 6 stitches, pop the center inward slightly; consequently, the top looks tidy from all angles.
• Weaving ends: Weave 6–8 stitches in one direction, then back the other way to lock; finally, trim closely without cutting the fabric.
• Honey sheen (optional): Lightly brush drips with clear fabric glue; then let them dry fully for a glossy, honey-like finish.
• Hardware: For keychains, first stitch a small jump ring under the rim using strong thread; afterward, attach the split ring for durability.
• Display: Group two or three sizes together; alternatively, add dried blooms for an instant photo-ready vignette.

Why This Pattern Works for Beginners
Because the shaping is predictable and the stitches are simple, you can focus on consistency rather than complexity. Furthermore, the honey drips offer high impact with minimal effort, while continuous rounds keep sewing to a minimum. As a result, you’ll finish quickly, gain confidence, and have a giftable cutie to show off.
