Yarn Suggestions: 

For the Crochet Cat Flower Pot pattern, choosing the right yarn can make a big difference in both appearance and durability, especially since it will hold plants and potentially be exposed to moisture. Here are some great options:

Cotton Yarn

• Cotton is a fantastic choice for this project because it's sturdy, washable, and holds its shape well. It doesn’t stretch as much as other fibers, which is crucial for a flower pot that needs to maintain its form.

Acrylic Yarn

• If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, acrylic yarn can work well. It’s easy to care for, available in a variety of colors, and resistant to staining and wear. However, it's not as breathable as cotton, which is something to consider depending on plant type.

Blended Yarns

• Mixes of cotton and synthetic fibres can offer the best of both worlds. These yarns are durable, hold their shape, and often come in a variety of interesting colors and textures.

T-shirt Yarn

• Thicker and sturdier, T-shirt yarn is an eco-friendly option made from recycled fabric. It's excellent for crafting projects that need a bit of heft and stability, like a plant pot.
