Crocheted Rock Covers

Pinterest gave me the idea, but no directions. But I have crochet cotton, and rocks, and the urge to give it a try. I don't know if I can describe exactly how to do it, but the idea is to start the centre of a doily, switch to long loops after about three rounds, and pull them up to fit. These doilies won't wrinkle, and small children can't wear them as capes.
I grew up in a house embellished with many doilies, and learned how to make them. But they have been outdated. A shame because the patterns are so pretty. So now I can have some of those pretty designs that I love without being too "outdated".

  1. You know you could crochet me a little Pinterest-inspired hanging plant pot holder... ?? :)

  2. How many inches from the top of the loop to the bottom of the pot. And if you have a pot in mind I need height and diameter
