10 Easy Crochet DIY Plant Hangers Your Plants will Love
Now that I’m home all the time, I’ve found that a little gardening really relaxes me.
Do you indoor or outdoor garden to relax?
I’m not the best gardener and unfortunately, I’ve killed more than my fair share of plants…(sorry, plants)!
But I do love to try and nurture then a long.
In fact, my current plant obsession is an extra scallion which I placed in a glass of water and I’m watching it grow about an inch per day. I’m finding joy in the little things at home right now!
Anyway, I digress.
Container gardening suits me because I can easily move the plants around. I have potted plants all over the place both inside and out and things are getting a bit out of control.
Outside, most of them are on tables or on the ground.
Inside, they are all on my sunny kitchen windowsill and I’m running out of space.
So I decided to make some easy DIY plant hangers for the kitchen. I also think having plants hanging at different levels will add some nice dimension to the space.
Did you know you can you make a plant hanger with yarn?
It’s actually much easier than you think! I’m going to show you how to crochet plant hangers 10 different ways.
All of these plant hangers can be whipped up in a very short amount of time and they don’t use much yarn - making them great STASH BUSTER projects.
I’ve rounded up the best crochet plant hanger patterns for you to make to keep your little green babies happy.
Use these hanging planters for flowers, greenery, succulents, and cacti. The hangers look great when you use them for trailing or vining plants.
Most of these are small plant hangers but you can easily adjust several of them for medium size plants. In addition, two of the projects are perfect for corralling cuttings and starters.
The first five projects below provide links to written patterns while the last five projects feature step-by-step video tutorials.
I hope you find one or more plant hangers to make for your home!
