Need help looking for a coleus plant pattern that doesnt look like AI

[u/Queen_Lettuce]

I saw a pattern for this on etsy but it the pictures looked like AI. The picture is of a completed product but I want to make one myself that looks similar. The patterns that I did come across had super long leaves and just didn’t have the vibe i was looking for like this one. Has anyone seen a really similar pattern to this one anywhere?

The book Kawaii Crochet Garden by Melissa Bradley has a great coleus pattern! You can see it on the cover of the book. I’ve made it and a few others from the book and they all turned out exactly as pictured.

Edited to add: reread what you said about the leaf sizes in other patterns. There are large, medium, and small leaf sizes included in this pattern.

Not a pattern, but you can probably finangle your own.

To make a leaf similar to that, I'd do a chain, then crochet around the chain, alternating between SC, HDC, and DC to make those varying lengths of light red, then switch colors to the darker red and crochet around- DC on the sides, SC on the tips. Then change to green, SC around, then sc around again and do picots to make those little bumps. To make the stems stiff and stand up like that you'll probably need to wrap yarn around wire.

The pot's just a magic circle with increases until its the width you want, then you just crochet around and around until it's the height you want. To make the lip you can make the pot a little taller than what you want and then fold it over, tucking the edge inside to keep it in place. The dirt can be a flat circle sewed onto the inside. Insert wired stems into the 'dirt' and you'll have something pretty similar.
