1. Echeveria
Echeverias are among the most common succulents, thanks to their beautiful symmetrical rosettes and fleshy leaves that look like flowers. You can find tons of their varieties, each prettier than the last.
But if you want a crochet one like the one in the image above, here’s the DIY.
2. String of Hearts
Here is a lovely trailing houseplant with delicate vines and heart-shaped leaves. String of hearts look amazing on shelves, and if you want a crochet succulent you can’t kill, here’s the pattern you need to follow.
3. Golden Sedum
This compact succulent is a sun lover and is quite famous for changing its color throughout the year. Just follow the steps shared in this pattern, and you’ll have one ready in no time.
You can also recreate those warm color transitions by buying these multicolor yarn shades.
4. Fishbone Cactus
The Fishbone Cactus comes from tropical rainforests rather than deserts, and growing these plants in your home can be quite a challenge if you live in a region with a mostly dry climate.
Lucky for you, here’s a crochet amigurumi pattern to make one yourself.
5. String of Pearls
Who wouldn’t want this low-maintenance beauty in their home? Here’s how you can easily grow one of these. But if you’re not that big on plants and still want a decor piece, go with this DIY crochet pattern.
When you work with yarn, each “pearl” is just a small shape (made from polyester fiberfill) that you can easily purchase.
6. Hens and Chicks
Hens and chicks is a rare succulent that’s actually cold-hardy, surviving outdoor winters in climates that would turn an echeveria to mush.
If you’re unable to find one of these in your city, why not make one with crochet?
7. Haworthia
Haworthia is grown for its beautiful striped, bumpy leaf texture. It is a small rosette succulent genus; most of the varieties are unusually tolerant of low light.
But you won’t have to worry about the care routine if you’ve got it as a crochet succulent!
8. Donkey’s Tail
The beautiful Donkey’s Tail is all about long, trailing stems densely packed with plump, teardrop-shaped leaves that really do resemble a tail.
But the tail is so fragile that even brushing it with your hands makes the leaves drop. Not with a crochet one, though.
9. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera barely needs an introduction; it’s the succulent that doubles as a medicine cabinet staple, with gel inside its thick leaves used for centuries to soothe burns and skin irritation.
But you can always try your hand at making a crochet aloe vera as a fun weekend project!
10. Snake Plant
Snake plant earns its spot on every “unkillable plant” list for a very good reason. It tolerates low light, irregular watering, and general neglect better than almost anything else. Here’s an easy pattern you can follow to make one of these amigurumi style. Pretty cute, right?
Since Snake plants have tall leaves, you should buy floral wire to make them sturdy.
Real succulents continue to inspire gardeners with their beautiful forms and incredible diversity, and these crochet versions pay tribute to those same natural designs. Do let us know which pattern you’ll be making first!
