Plant Hanger Frequently Asked Questions
How to crochet a plant hanger?
The basic premise is straightforward, but there are numerous construction options. First and foremost, your hanger should be strong enough to hold the pot securely. Second, it should keep it in such a way that it does not fall out or rotate too much.
When you’re ready to hang your plant, make sure you choose the proper location. It should not be too drafty (or the plant will swing too much), nor should it be too close to household members’ preferred routes. Always check that the hook or nail is secure and that the planter’s knot is tight.
What yarn to use for a plant hanger?
You can really use any yarn you like with your plant hanger. However, I would select a thick, bulky-weight yarn for this project. Synthetic fibers, such as acrylic hold up best with general wear and tear. Cotton loses elasticity over time, and wool may warp with water and friction.
How long does it take to crochet a plant hanger?
Working with super bulky yarn means that you can hook up one and have your plants hanging in an hour or two. You won’t need to know any special techniques because a plant holder pattern uses only very basic crochet stitches.
How do you crochet a succulent plant?
Crochet plants provide a solution for those of us without outside space of our own and no time to tend indoor plants. With just a couple supplies, you can create a no-maintenance, handmade garden, and these crochet cactus and succulents will help inspire you to start right away!
Why crochet a plant hanger?
If you’re anything like me, you can’t leave the grocery store without picking up a new plant, no matter how small. You simply run out of space after a while! That’s where hanging planters come in, because all you need to display your plants is a hook in the ceiling or a nail in the wall.
Furthermore, crochet plant hangers are a fun alternative to macrame, which is great but not for everyone. However, if you already know how to crochet, you’ll be able to pull it off with ease.
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THESE CROCHET HANGING PLANT HOLDERS IS THAT THEY’RE EXTREMELY EASY AND AFFORDABLE DIY PROJECT THAT ANYONE CAN CREATE.
Also, don’t miss these crochet plants, crochet cactus, and crochet flower patterns. Once finished, share your makes on our Facebook Page. We’d love seeing your creations!
Keep your crochet plant hanging holders for yourself or wrap them up and deliver to a friend who loves plants and gardening. Happy crocheting!
