How to Start the Plant Hanger
To start the plant hanger, you'll need to create a foundation using a magic ring. If you're not familiar with the magic ring technique, there are tutorials available on the Crochet Society website to guide you. Once you have mastered the magic ring, you'll start by working ten treble crochets (known as double crochets in US terms) into the magic ring. Make sure to use the stitch marker to mark your first stitch.
Creating the Spiral
After completing the first round, you will continue working in a spiral pattern. For rounds two to six, you will simply crochet one treble crochet in each stitch around. This will create a nice curve in your work. In round seven, you'll treble crochet into each stitch again, but this time, you'll slip stitch into the first stitch to end the spiral.
Adding the Handles
Once the spiral is complete, it's time to add the handles. You'll switch to a different color (Color B) and join it with a slip stitch into any stitch. Then, chain 100 stitches and skip the next 14 stitches. Slip stitch into the 15th stitch, creating the first handle. Repeat this process to create the second handle. After attaching the handles, weave in the loose ends for a clean finish.
Finishing Touches
To give your plant hanger a unique touch, you can create a tassel and attach it to the bottom. The step-by-step instructions for making a tassel can be found in the mini magazine provided with the Crochet Society Box 14. Once your plant hanger is complete, don't forget to tag the designer, Gemma from littlegemscraftshop on Instagram, and share your finished project using the hashtags #crochetsociety and #crochetsocietystar. We would love to see your beautiful creations!
