This crochet plant hanger pattern is a free crochet pattern that includes 3 sizes, uses only 1 – 2 balls of cotton yarn, and works up super duper fast!

Oh the Childhood Memories

When I was a little girl, I used to watch my mom work on her macrame projects. I watched in awe as she would create a beautiful macrame plant hanger.

She also made a macrame baby swing that used to hang from the ceiling in my grandparents living room. I have many fond memories pushing my cousins in the swing…. and wishing I could fit too. lol

I never learned how to do macrame as a young girl, but one day I’d love to learn more. I’ve only ever used simple knots to add a macrame accent to my On The Bias Tote Bag.

In the meantime, I decided to make my own crochet macrame plant hanger.

Many Great Uses!

Small enough and quick enough to work up in an evening or during a short car ride, this crochet plant hanger makes the perfect quick crochet gift for friends & family!

These DIY plant hangers also make a great crochet housewarming gift, especially for someone who loves boho decor or macrame… or plants.

I’ve decided to make several small ones to hold glass jars with citronella candles to add a little boho crochet to our campsite this summer and help keep the bugs away!

All 3 sizes of these crochet plant hangers use very little yarn and can be made in a very short amount of time – they’re great stash buster projects!

What yarn to use for a crochet plant hanger?

You’ll want to use a yarn that doesn’t have a lot of stretch to it.

I prefer to use 100% cotton yarns for my plant hanger, but twine and macrame rope would also be great alternatives.

Raffia and t-shirt yarn may also be fun yarn alternatives.

If all you have on hand is acrylic yarn, I would suggest crocheting a shorter hanging strap to accomodate for the stretchiness of the yarn. I’ve included instructions below for shortening and lengthening your hanging straps.

Yarn

Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton yarn is a natural, 100% USA-grown cotton yarn. It’s a versatile worsted weight yarn, that’s great for small projects like dishcloths and hand towels, to home décor, and even accessories. I love to use it for crochet bags!

It’s the perfect cotton yarn for this free crochet plant hanger pattern!

Available in a wide variety of colors, including neutrals, brights, and pastels. It’s machine washable and dryable for easy care.

Skill Level

This pattern uses basic crochet stitches such as chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and slip stitches.

I’ve included a couple different step-by-step photo tutorials with dozens of photos so that even a confident beginner can successfully make this crochet plant hanger!

Sizes

I’ve included 3 sizes in this free crochet plant hanger pattern.

The small and medium sizes both use less than 1 ball of cotton yarn. I LOVE a great one skein project!

The large size uses less than 2 balls of cotton yarn. I was able to use leftover scraps of yarn to make mine.

The small size fits pots that are 3″ – 3.5″ in diameter.

The medium size fits pots that are 3.5″ – 4″ in diameter.

The large size fits pots that are 6″ – 6.5″ in diameter.

I found a great set of plastic pots on Amazon that include all sorts of sizes!

Hanger Options

I’ve also included three different options for the chevron hangers: Wooden Rings, Milk Jug Rings, and Crochet Only Rings.

If you do not have wooden rings at home, no worries! I’ve got you covered with alternate options.

Wooden Beads

Wooden beads are completely optional and are decoration only.

You do not have to use the same wooden beads that I used.

Just make sure that the inner diameter is large enough to pass through a crochet chain twice. (refer to the assembly photos below if you need clarification)

Hanging Strap

The lengths of the hanging straps on the crochet plant hangers shown in the photos are 14″ small (15″ medium, 15″ large).

To adjust the length of your straps, first determine how much longer or shorter you’d like your straps. Multiple that number by 8 and then add it to the length of your chain strap.

Example: If you want to increase the length by 1″, add 8″ to your chain strap.

14″ Straps: With a 4.00mm crochet hook, continue on from the chevron hanger, ch until you have a chain that is 104″ long. Fasten off leaving a 6″ tail of yarn. Continue on to Assembly.

15″ Straps: With a 4.00mm crochet hook, continue on from the chevron hanger, ch until you have a chain that is 120″ long. Fasten off leaving a 6″ tail of yarn. Continue on to Assembly.

After the length of the straps are close to even, secure the hanging strip in the last stitch of the hanger and weave in ends.

NOTE: Even after you’ve woven in your ends, you can continue to adjust the straps.
