How to Make a Crochet Plant Hanger: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for a creative way to display your plants? Look no further! In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a beautiful crochet plant hanger that is not only functional but also customizable in size. Whether you want to make a small hanger for a tiny plant or a larger one for a bigger pot, this method is versatile and easy to follow.

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

• 700 grams of rope yarn
• A stitch marker
• A crochet hook (8 millimeters)

Now, let's dive into the step-by-step process of creating your crochet plant hanger:

Step 1: Making the Magic Ring

To start, you'll need to make a magic ring. If you're not familiar with this technique, don't worry! An alternative method is to make two chains and work through the first chain. Once you've made the magic ring or alternative chains, pull up a loop and create a chain stitch or slip stitch, which will not be counted as any stitch.

Step 2: Round 1 - Single Crochets

In the first round, make eight single crochets through the magic ring. After completing the eight single crochets, close the magic ring.

Step 3: Round 2 - Increasing Stitches

For round 2, make two single crochets on the first single crochet and mark it. Working on continuous rounds, it is essential to mark the first stitch of every round. In this round, you will make two single crochets in each stitch.

Step 4: Round 3 - Increasing Stitches

Remove the stitch marker and make three single crochets on the marked stitch. Mark the second stitch, where you'll make three single crochets in each of the following rounds. Additionally, make two single crochets on the next stitch, one single crochet on the next stitch, and two single crochets on the following stitch. This round increases the stitches after every single stitch.

Step 5: Round 4 - Increasing Stitches

Remove the stitch marker and make three single crochets on the marked stitch. Mark the second stitch for future reference. In this round, make two single crochets, one single crochet, one single crochet, two single crochets, and so on. This pattern increases the stitches after every two stitches.

Step 6: Rounds 5-12 - Continuing the Increases

In rounds 5-12, continue the pattern of making three single crochets on the marked stitch and one single crochet on every single stitch. If you want to make a larger pot holder, repeat these rounds a few more times to increase its size. Remember to repeat the rounds based on the desired size of your pot.

Step 7: Rounds 13-16 - Optional Increases for Larger Pot Sizes

If you're using a bigger pot, you can repeat rounds 13-16 to make the hanger larger. The method remains the same, making three single crochets on the marked stitch and following the pattern for each round.

Step 8: Round 13 - Decreasing Stitches

Remove the stitch marker and make three single crochets on the marked stitch. Mark the second stitch and make 16 single crochets starting from the next stitch. After completing the 16 single crochets, perform an invisible decrease or single crochet two together stitch. Continue making 26 single crochets, followed by another invisible decrease or single crochet two together stitch. Finish the round by making one single crochet on the remaining stitches.

Step 9: Round 14 - Decreasing Stitches

Remove the stitch marker and make eight chains. After making the chains, perform 16 single crochets starting from the next stitch. Repeat the pattern of one invisible decrease or single crochet two together stitch, followed by 24 single crochets. End the round by making one single crochet on the rest of the stitches.

Step 10: Round 15 - Half Double Crochets

To start round 15, make two single crochets through the loop of the eight chains. Continue by making 16 half double crochets, followed by 26 slip stitches. After completing the slip stitches, continue making one half double crochet on the remaining stitches.

Step 11: Final Steps and Finishing Touches

Remove the stitch marker and tie a knot at the end of the plant holder. Cut off a long tail of yarn for the knot. And voila! Your crochet plant hanger is complete. Remember to always fit a pot that is tightly fitted inside the plant holder to prevent accidents or damage.
