This pattern gives all the instructions and details for making your very own large everlasting cherry blossom bonsai in crochet. It makes a beautiful and unique piece for your home or as a gift to the plant-lover in your life. No watering or trimming required!

I have significantly updated and changed my original cherry blossom bonsai pattern to make it larger and more detailed. This includes a new pattern for the flowers, a round pot base and an extra textured trunk.

Measurements for the finished piece: 30cm W x 20cm D x 34cm H
The branches and flowers can be adjusted, so the size is variable.

The pattern is beginner to intermediate level with primarily basic stitches used, such as magic ring, single crochet, front loop and back loop only stitches and front post double crochet. I have used standard US abbreviations throughout.
This pattern will not teach you how to crochet from the very beginning, but I believe anyone who has completed at least a couple of projects would be able to create this piece.
