The sloth may be one of the world’s slowest animals, but it certainly is a crafty little creature. After all, it has somehow managed to become an animal worthy of placement on everything from reading pillows to heating pads to the coveted pool float. Perhaps the only creature more popular than the sloth at this point is the unicorn. And now, we’ve found yet another version of this cute and cuddly critter. With this crafty crocheted sloth planter, you can pretend that your living room is actually part of the sloth’s natural habitat. What an adorable addition to your home!

HELLOHappy suggests finding a small succulent plant or finding a pot at a craft store to fit inside your new planter. Or you could simply fill the planter with whatever small items you’d like. The project begins by making a magic ring (magic circle) and uses only basic crochet stitches like single crochet stitches (sc). The project is worked in continuous rounds using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn held together. It is recommended that you place stitch marker in the first stitch to mark your place and then move stitch marker for each round worked.
