****Update*****
It has been brought to my attention that there has been some difficulty understanding the directions for the head part. I have made a color chart to help. I also did catch a couple of mistakes which are now changed as you will see in bolder fonts. Thank you for understanding as i am fairly new at writing patterns.
Ch 1. Sc in next 5 dcs. (sc,ch 2, dc, ch 2, sc -all in next dc) 1st leg made.
sc in the next 7 dcs , sc,ch 2, dc, ch 2, sc -all in next dc) 2nd leg made.

Hi,
Depending on the size, it could be used to place pots over.
You could make some patterns to imitate core shadow, thus giving the impression of volume

Hey there,
Heather has added their version of your project on crafty community Cut Out + Keep and we thought you might like to see how it turned out.
You can see their version and also import your project here:

Hi,
I am unable to complete the head.. "sc in next 3 dcs.join with a sl st to 1st sc. sl st in next 2 scs. ch3, turn. dc in next 4 dcs-working over the sl sts just made. ch 3, turn. dc dec over next 2 dcs, dc dec over next dc and top of ch 3,
ch 1 turn, sc dec over next 2 dcs, finish"
I completed the sc in 3 dcs. however the 3 sl sts are confusing me... I am gifting this to a friend and any help would be really nice!!
Thanks in advance for helping me out
Hi Art
The sl st (slip stitch) is almost the same as a single crochet, except you put the hook in the stitch,then bring the yarn through the stitch and the one loop on your hook.
Here's a video on you tube that shows how

I love your patterns. They are simple and easy to follow. I am so happy I found your website. I have been crocheting for over 30 years and I rate this site 100%. keep up the good work! terri
I understand and have completed everything except the head. I have sc in the next 3 dcs but I don't understand where to sl st to the 1st sc. Will you please explain? (Or a youtube tutorial would be awesome!
Any help would be appreciated!
