Sometimes you want to crochet something that has no practical purpose simply because it’s beautiful. It features a cute watering can shape decorated with blooming flowers, giving it a cheerful and cozy handmade look.
This tutorial needs some advanced crochet stitches like double treble crochet and some basic crochet stitches like single crochet stitches, double crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches, and some crochet techniques like increasing, decreasing, and working in back loop only, which make it suitable for beginner to intermediate level crocheters.
You can use it as a shelf decoration, part of a floral or nature- themed amigurumi collection.
