FAQ: How To Crochet Plant Hanger
What do I need to crochet a plant holder?
The materials will vary depending on the pattern, but for an easy plant hanger crochet, you will need the following:
1. Scissors
2. Plant Pots
3. Crochet Hook
4. Yarn
5. Macramé ring
6. Tapestry needle
7. Tassels and beads
What is the best yarn for a crochet plant hanger?
You should use the yarn that the pattern tells you to use.
Generally, the best yarn would be one that wouldn’t stretch even after being pulled down by the weight of all that dirt and pot. Your options are yarns such as macramé ropes, cotton, t-shirt yarn, cotton cord, twine, or linen.
Another good option would be nylon string. This fiber dries rather quickly if it gets wet, doesn’t encourage mold growth, plus nylon is incredibly robust.
However, if the tutorial specifies a certain type of yarn, it is best to stick with it to get the most desirable outcome.
How do you crochet a plant hanger in general?
A crochet plant hanger pattern is not the hardest thing to pull off. You can decide the complexity of your crochet plant hanger pattern according to your skill level.
Here are a few things to take note of when choosing a pattern:
1. The crochet plant hanger free pattern has to be sturdy enough to hold up a ceramic or glass pot filled with dirt; ensure you use quality yarn and the right yarn.
2. The construction of the plant hanger has to fit the shape and size of your pot so it will hold it in place and not rotate too much.
With just a couple of materials, some basic knowledge of crocheting (check out the complete guide to crochet for beginners if you need some guidance), and some patience, you’ll be able to create a beautiful hanging display of your own.
