A tapestry needle for closing up the base and fitting it neatly around your pot is worth having ready.

Measure the pot and check the original pattern’s fit guidance before starting. A decorative cover, a plant hanger, and a closed basket have different drainage and construction needs; do not assume one pattern applies to another use.
