Why hanging planter?
If you’re even a little bit like me, you can’t go back from grocery shopping without a new plant, however small. After some time… you just run out of space! That’s where hanging planters come in, because all you need is a hook in the ceiling, or a nail in the wall.
Additionally, crochet plant hangers are a fun alternative to macrame, which is great, but not everybody want to learn it. If you already know how to crochet, however, you’ll be able to pull it off without problems.
How to crochet plant hanger?
The basic premise is very simple, but you can find quite a few different ideas for construction. First of all, your hanger should be sturdy enough to safely keep the pot. Secondly, it should keep it in such a way that won’t make it fall out, or rotate too much.
When you’re ready to put your hanging plant up, make sure you’re choosing the right spot. It shouldn’t be too drafty (otherwise the plant will swing too much), nor too close to household members’ favorite routes. Always make sure that the hook or nail are secure, and that the knot on the planter is tight.
What yarn to use for a plant hanger?
The most important quality of the yarn for this project is that it shouldn’t stretch, so choose macrame ropes, cotton, twine, or linen. You can also use t-shirt yarn, which stretches a bit, but is thick enough to create sturdy base for the pot when crocheted.

The construction of this piece is quite straightforward: solid bottom, which holds the pot, and very simple mesh body.
