Tips for Crocheting Plant Hangers
Now, a few quick tips to ensure your crocheting journey is a successful one:
Choose a durable yarn.
Choosing a strong, durable yarn or cord for your project is a must. Who wants to hang up a beautiful plant just to have it come crashing down? Worsted-weight cotton yarn, macrame cord, and jute twine are good options for crocheting a sturdy plant hanger.
Secure your hanging cord.
You can attach your plant hanger to the ceiling using a metal hook. For wall-hanging baskets, a metal hook or even a strong nail will do. Use the appropriate drywall anchors, or look for a stud before installing.
Personalize your plant hanger.
Lastly, have fun making your plant hanger your own! Whether you’re crocheting one for your own home or for a gift, half the fun of making this project is choosing your favorite color(s) and adding beads, tassels, braids, or other embellishments to personalize the pattern.
