Materials
- Sturdy cotton or cotton-blend yarn
- Crochet hook that creates a firm fabric
- Small lightweight plant pot for fit testing
- Optional wooden or metal ring
- Stitch markers, scissors, and yarn needle
Step-by-step instructions
- Make a flat cotton circle or square that is slightly smaller than the pot base.
- Mark three or four evenly spaced strap points around the edge.
- Work plain single crochet straps upward from the base.
- Join the straps into a firm top loop or ring.
- Place the pot inside and adjust strap tension before weaving in ends.
Fit and finishing tips
Keep the base snug and the straps even. This version works best with sturdy worsted cotton and a lightweight plant pot.
Safety note
Test the hanger with the full pot weight before hanging it high. Include the weight of soil, water, and the container, not just the empty pot.
