What do we need for such a pot?

old knitted sweater;
flower pot;
scissors;
pins
sewing machine for stitching (can be sewn manually)

Getting to work

Cut the part from the sweater so that the knitted fabric completely encircles the pot. Attach the flower container to the sweater and cut out the part of the required size. You will need to fold the part in half and wrap it with a flowerpot. Do not forget to leave fabric allowances for freedom of fitting. Better then cut off the excess than cut out and sew the missing.
From the wrong side of the sweater, fasten with pins, sew the cut part along:

Turn the resulting workpiece onto the front side. Fold so that the longitudinal seam is on the inside, which will be adjacent to the pot. Attach a part to it and make sure that the size of the cover matches the circumference of the pots.
Sew the knitted fabric with a blind transverse seam. The case should fit tightly around the pots.
Transplant the plant into a prepared pot. It is better to remove the case, so as not to stain it with earth. After replanting the flower, gently clean the pot and put on the cover from below:

Exclusive handmade project is ready! It is easy to remove to wash or change to another.

Imagine how bright colors your window sill will play, on which multi-colored bright flower pots will line up. You can change them to avoid monotony in the interior.
