The Alpaca Planter is a quick, easy, and fun amigurumi crochet project that makes a lovely office desk buddy! It’s a perfect gift for those who love alpacas and llamas, and those who love having indoor succulent plants too. This plant cozy pattern fits a standard 2” clay pot, though it’s easy to adapt the pattern to fit different sizes as a cup or mug cozy, container, or basket. You can also easily customize this design with different yarn colors for the pot cozy, and flowers. Add beads, tassels, pom poms, buttons, appliques, and other embellishments to make this South American desert animal truly unique. Give it as a gift for different holidays and occasions, such as Christmas, birthdays, appreciation or thank you gifts, and more!
