Crochet Plant Hanger Patterns: 5 Designs
A crochet plant hanger needs proportions that fit the planter and a yarn that will not stretch too much under weight. These five original patterns cover tapered pots, multiple pot sizes, a small planter holder, and two different takes on the macrame look.
Since these hold actual weight, a sturdy cotton yarn is worth prioritizing over anything stretchy.
Plant hanger patterns to explore
1. Crochet Plant Hanger
Sarah Stearns at Sarah Maker presents an advanced-beginner hanger for a five-inch tapered pot. The pattern uses cotton yarn and a 5 mm hook, a straightforward starting project if you haven’t made a plant hanger before.
2. Crochet Plant Hanger – 3 Sizes
Jennifer Renaud at A Crocheted Simplicity includes small, medium, and large pot sizes. The pattern offers wooden, milk-jug, and crocheted hanging-ring options, giving it more built-in size and material flexibility than any other pattern on this list.
3. Small Plant Hanger
Nicole Chase designs this advanced-beginner hanger for a four-inch planter and recommends a low-stretch yarn, since a stretchy fiber will sag over time once the pot and soil add weight.
4. Crochet Plant Hanger
Megan Meyer at Left in Knots uses cotton cake yarn on a 5.0mm hook with a metal ring, finishing at 15 inches long for pots 3 to 5 inches across, the longest hanger on this list.
5. Iris & Chains Crochet Plant Hanger
Chantal Campsey at Yarnique uses a double V-stitch technique in worsted cotton on a 4.5mm hook, sized for a wider 8 by 7 inch pot rather than the smaller tapered pots most of the others fit.
Match the hanger to the pot
Measure the pot first, then choose the pattern with the closest stated size. Chantal Campsey’s version is the one built for a wider pot rather than a tapered one; Megan Meyer’s is the longest drop if you want the plant hanging lower. Use the source pattern’s yarn recommendation for the weight-bearing cord or straps.
