Finished Size

The finished plant hanger has a base diameter of approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm) for the first 3 rounds. It stretches to perfectly accommodate 4 to 5-inch (10-12.5 cm) pots. The length of the hanging straps and bottom tassel can be customized to your preference.

Gauge

Base diameter of Rounds 1 through 3 should measure approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm) across.

Construction Overview

This plant hanger is worked in a single continuous piece from the bottom up. You’ll start with a solid circular base, then transition into open chain-loop arches to form the diamond mesh sides. Finally, you’ll crochet long chain straps directly onto the top edge, bind them together, and attach a handmade tassel at the bottom for the finishing touch.

Supplies

• Yarn: 54 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn (such as Dishie Cotton or Lily Sugar ‘n Cream). Cotton is highly recommended because it won’t stretch under the weight of your plant!
• Hook: 4.0 mm (US G/6) crochet hook
• Notions: Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch markers (optional, for counting long chains)
• Hardware/Accents: 12mm and 20mm wooden beads with large holes
• Other: A 4-inch or 5-inch plant pot, and a 6-inch gauge ruler or piece of cardboard (for making the tassel)

Stitches & Abbreviations (US Terms)

• magic ring: An adjustable starting loop
• ch: chain
• ch sp: chain space
• sl st: slip stitch
• sc: single crochet
• dc: double crochet
• tr: treble crochet
• st(s): stitch(es)

Special Stitches

No highly complex stitches are required! The mesh is created using standard single crochets anchored into long chains. For the straps, you’ll be chaining 130 stitches at a time, so patience (and maybe a stitch marker every 50 chains) is key.

Pattern Instructions

Quick Reference Notes

• The turning ch-2 counts as a double crochet (dc).
• The turning ch-1 does not count as a stitch.
• Rounds are joined at the end, but you do not turn your work.
• To fit a taller pot, simply repeat Round 5 until the hanger reaches about 1/2 inch from the top edge of your pot.

The Base

Create a magic ring.

Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as your first dc + ch 1), *dc, ch 1* 5 times into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close, and join with a sl st to the first st. (12 sts)

Round 2: Ch 3, *dc, ch 1* in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first st. (24 sts)

Round 3: Ch 2, 2 dc in the first ch sp, *dc in next st, 2 dc in next ch sp* 11 times around. Join with a sl st to the first st. (36 sts)

The Mesh Body

Round 4: *Ch 7, sk 3 sts, sc in next st* eight times around. Then ch 3, and tr into the very first st of the round. (9 chain loops)

Rounds 5 – 7: *Ch 7, sc into the 4th ch of the next loop* eight times around. Then ch 3, and tr into the tr from the previous round. (9 chain loops)

Round 8: *Ch 4, sc into the 4th ch of the next loop* eight times around. Then ch 4, and sc into the tr from the previous round. (45 sts total)

Round 9: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join with a sl st to the first st. (45 sts)

The Straps

Round 10: Ch 1, sc in the first 5 sts. Ch 130 for the first strap, then sc in the next 15 sts on the hanger body. Ch 130 for the second strap, then sc in the next 15 sts. Ch 130 for the third strap, then sc in the remaining 10 sts. Cut your yarn and finish off with an invisible join to the first sc. (45 sc + 3 long chain loops)

Assembly & Finishing

Now it’s time to bring your hanger to life!

1. Add Beads (Optional): Slide your wooden beads onto each of the three hanging chain loops.
2. Secure the Straps: Gather the three long loops together, holding them about 1.5 inches from the very top. Tip: Place your pot inside the hanger now and hold it up to ensure all straps are perfectly even!
3. Wrap the Top: Join a new strand of yarn near the top where you’re holding the straps. Ch 1, then work 20 sc tightly around all the loop strands together. Push these stitches closely together toward the middle to create a neat, sturdy hanging loop.
4. Bind the Neck: Cut a 24-inch piece of yarn. Tightly wrap it around the straps right underneath your group of single crochets. When you have about 6 inches of yarn left, use your tapestry needle to securely weave the ends under the wraps. Trim any excess.

Hardware & Closures

You can use a simple metal S-hook or a wooden ring looped through the top gathered section to easily hang your planter from a ceiling hook or curtain rod.

Making and Adding the Tassel

1. Cut a 6 to 8-inch piece of yarn and lay it across the top of your 6-inch gauge ruler or piece of cardboard.
2. Wrap the working yarn around the ruler 20 to 30 times, depending on how plump you want your tassel.
3. Tightly tie the 6 to 8-inch piece of yarn at the top to secure the loops. Cut the bottom loops to free the tassel from the ruler.
4. Cut a 10-inch piece of yarn and tie it tightly around the entire tassel, about 1 inch down from the top knot, to create the tassel “head”. Trim the bottom fringe so it is perfectly even.
5. Thread a few wooden beads onto the top tie strings of your tassel, then securely tie it to the bottom center of your plant hanger (right at the magic ring). Weave in the final ends.

Styling Tips

This boho plant hanger looks incredible holding trailing plants like a Philodendron Brasil, Golden Pothos, or String of Pearls. Hang multiple planters at varying heights in a corner window to create a layered, cascading indoor garden effect. The neutral cotton yarn pops beautifully against terracotta pots, but you can also use brightly colored yarn to match a specific room’s palette!
