The Yarn


For this plant hanger crochet pattern I used a great yarn from Lion Brand Yarn. It’s their yarn called Kitchen Cotton. It’s a sturdy cotton yarn that works well with any home decor, kitchen accessories (as the name suggests) & of course also crocheted plant hangers.

This yarn is what I typically call a “dry” cotton, which means it’s not as soft as other cottons. What’s great about this is that the stitches won’t move a lot, because the surface isn’t smooth.

For that reason the Kitchen Cotton from Lion Brand is perfect for the crochet Easy Plant Hanger.

Unfortunately this yarn is discontinued, however most cotton yarns will work well for this pattern.

THE PERFECT HOME DECOR CROCHET PATTERN


The idea of crocheting plant hangers is definitely a crochet idea that’s perfect for summer, mostly because you bring your pots decorated with your plant hangers outside.

But there’s no reason not to make the crochet plant hanger at any time of year. Place it in a window during winter & give your plants as much sun as possible.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?


How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
