The pattern includes three main components: a decorative hanging pot with rope details, realistic soil insert, and multiple drooping leaves that give the plant its characteristic cascading appearance.
I absolutely love this pattern because it brings the beauty of nature indoors without any of the maintenance. There's something incredibly satisfying about crocheting each leaf and watching them come together to form a realistic plant. I enjoy how this project lets me practice basic stitches while creating something both decorative and practical. The hanging element adds such a lovely bohemian touch to any room, and I find it makes a wonderful gift for plant lovers or anyone who struggles to keep real plants alive. It's quick enough to finish in an afternoon but impressive enough that everyone will ask where you bought it.
I love experimenting with this pattern to create my own unique variations. Try using variegated yarn in earthy tones for the pot to create a marbled ceramic effect, or add metallic thread to give it a modern shimmer. You could also make the leaves in different shades of green - from deep forest to bright lime - to mimic the natural color variations found in real Monstera plants.
For a fun twist, consider making mini versions using thinner yarn and smaller hooks to create a collection of tiny hanging plants. I've also added small embroidered details on the leaves using darker green thread to create the characteristic Monstera fenestrations (those beautiful splits and holes). You could stuff the pot more firmly and skip the hanging ropes to create a sturdy tabletop version instead.
Another idea I enjoy is embellishing the pot with surface crochet designs, slip stitch patterns, or even small crocheted flowers around the rim. Try mixing different textures by alternating between matte cotton and glossy mercerized cotton for visual interest. The possibilities are endless, and each variation makes your plant uniquely yours!

The pattern shows how to create connected leaves. For a fuller Monstera appearance, I recommend making at least 5-7 leaves. You can chain between leaves as shown in the pattern to create a cascading effect with multiple leaves connected together.
Yes, you can use different yarn weights, but you'll need to adjust your hook size accordingly. Using a heavier yarn will create a larger plant, while lighter yarn will make it more delicate. Just ensure your stitches are tight enough that the stuffing doesn't show through the pot.
The pattern instructs you to attach three chain-30 ropes to the rim of the pot (Row 11) with 12-13 stitches spacing between each rope. Weave the ends through multiple stitches and secure with knots to ensure they can support the weight of the filled pot.
BLO stands for 'back loop only' which means you only crochet through the back loop of each stitch instead of both loops. In Row 6 of the pot, this creates a decorative ridge that defines the pot rim and provides a clear attachment point for the hanging ropes.
Absolutely! You can skip the hanging rope chains and simply display your potted Monstera on a shelf or table. Just complete the pot and soil as instructed, omit the chain-30 ropes, and you'll have a lovely tabletop decoration.
