Crochet Plant Hanger: Free Pattern
The 70’s are back. Everywhere I look I see macramé plant hangers for sale. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of macramé or the weird woven wall hangings everyone seems to be making. They remind me of the Golden Girls and not in a good way. I’ve been searching for a plant hanger that was in my budget and also not too 70’s looking. Since I couldn’t really find what I was looking for I decided to make one myself.

If you know how to make a crochet beanie (that’s a toque for my Canadian friends) you can make a hanging plant hanger.
- Start by chaining 6 stitches, then connect the chain into the first stitch.
- Next Double crochet into the circle for 10 stitches.
- Then single crochet into each stitch twice for a total of 20 stitches. Do this one more time for a total of 40 stitches.
- Next Double crochet for several rows until the circle is as large as the diameter of base of the plant you are going to hold.
- Switch to treble crochet and continue until the sides are as tall as you need
- Finish off the edge with single crochet and then make a chain stitch as long as you would like the plant to hang from the ceiling and connect it to the opposite edge of the hanger.
