Easy Crochet Plant Hanger: A Fun and Quick Project

If you're looking for a fun and quick crochet project, the Jocasta easy crochet plant hanger is the perfect choice. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this pattern will guide you through the process with ease. This plant hanger is not only practical but also makes a fantastic gift. You can customize it with different colors to add a pop of color to any room or even use artificial plants if you don't have a green thumb.

Materials Needed

To make the Jocasta plant hanger, you will need the following materials:

• 100 yards of number five bulky weight yarn
• Size M13 or 9mm crochet hook
• Be So Easy yarn in color cyan (or any other color of your choice)

Be So Easy yarn is a brand new bulky weight yarn that is made from 100% milk cotton. It comes in 20 gorgeous colors, allowing you to choose the perfect shade for your plant hanger. The pattern includes both written instructions and a chart, so you can follow along easily.

Getting Started

Base and Walls

To start the project, you will begin with the base and then work your way up to the walls of the plant hanger. The pattern will guide you through each step, and by the end of round eight, you should have a solid base for your hanger.

If you prefer to have a plant cozy instead of a hanging plant hanger, you can stop at this point and fasten off. However, if you want to create a hanging plant pot cover, you will need to attach it to a ring. If you don't have a ring, don't worry. There is an alternative option that we'll explore later.

Hanging Option

To create the hanging option, you will need a ring or a similar object to attach the plant hanger to. With a ring in hand, you can proceed to round nine of the pattern. This round involves single crocheting in the ring and then chaining 36. By slip-stitching onto the ring and adjusting the tension, you will securely attach the hanger to the ring.

Alternative Option without a Ring

If you don't have a ring, there's no need to worry. The pattern also provides an alternative option for attaching the chains without a ring. By slip-stitching the chains to each other, you can join all the ties together seamlessly. The pattern explains the step-by-step process and ensures that your plant hanger remains secure.

Adjusting the Length

The pattern provides flexibility when it comes to adjusting the length of the plant hanger. If you want it longer or shorter than the standard length, you can easily do so. Simply replace the chain 36 with any number of your choice, bearing in mind that you should have an equal number of chains before the slip stitch or ring. This will ensure that the plant hanger maintains a balanced appearance.

Weaving in Loose Ends

Once you've completed your plant hanger, it's important to weave in any loose ends to give it a polished look. With the thicker yarn used in this project, it can be a bit challenging to insert the yarn needle. However, by bending the yarn in half and pushing it through the needle, you can easily weave in all the strands. It's recommended to weave the ends in multiple directions to ensure a secure fit.

Conclusion

The Jocasta easy crochet plant hanger is a great project for crochet enthusiasts of all skill levels. With its quick and customizable design, it's the perfect way to add a touch of greenery to any room or give as a thoughtful handmade gift. Enjoy the process of creating this beautiful plant hanger and let your creativity flourish!
