🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Ensure all knots are tight and evenly spaced around the ring
  1. Setup
    Cut 4 strands of yarn, each 120 inches long. Fold each strand in half and loop through metal ring using lark's head knot. You now have 8 working strands.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Post stitches create the macrame-style texture. Keep tension consistent for even appearance
  1. Strand Setup
    Working with 2 adjacent strands, tie them together 3 inches below ring with overhand knot. Repeat with remaining 6 strands to create 4 pairs.
  2. Row 1
    With one pair of strands held together, attach yarn with sl st 1 inch below knot. Ch 1, work 30 sc around both strands held together as one cord. (30 sc)
  3. Row 2
    Ch 1, turn. Sc BLO in each st across. (30 sc)
  4. Row 3
    Ch 1, turn. *FPdc around next st 2 rows below, sc in next 2 sts; rep from * across. (30 sts)
  5. Rows 4-6
    Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across. (30 sc)
  6. Row 7
    Ch 1, turn. *BPdc around next st 2 rows below, sc in next 2 sts; rep from * across. (30 sts)
  7. Rows 8-10
    Ch 1, turn. Sc in each st across. (30 sc)
  8. Final Row
    Sl st in first st. Fasten off, leaving 6-inch tail. Repeat entire strand section for remaining 3 pairs.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Measure carefully to ensure basket hangs level. Adjust knot positions before tightening permanently
  1. First Tier Knots
    Measure 8 inches below the end of crocheted sections. Take right strand from one pair and left strand from adjacent pair. Tie together with square knot. Repeat around all 4 sections to create 4 connection points.
  2. Second Tier Knots
    Measure 4 inches below first tier knots. Again take right strand from one knot and left strand from adjacent knot. Tie with square knot. Repeat around. This creates the basket shape.
  3. Bottom Gathering
    Gather all 8 strand ends together 3 inches below second tier. Wrap one strand tightly around all others 10 times, creating wrapped knot. Thread end through wraps with yarn needle to secure. Trim excess strands to 4 inches for tassel or trim flush.
Row counter:
  1. Optional Beads
    Thread large wooden beads onto individual strands before tying tier knots for added detail.
  2. Tassel Bottom
    Leave strand ends long at bottom gathering and comb out for fringe tassel effect, or trim neat for minimal look.

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all ends from crocheted sections using yarn needle. Check that all knots are tight and secure, especially the ring attachments and tier knots. Test the hanger strength by gently pulling on the ring before adding a pot. Place pot into basket opening from top, resting it on the second tier knots. Adjust tier knot positions if needed for your specific pot size - move knots closer together for smaller pots or further apart for larger pots. Hang from secure hook or ceiling mount rated for appropriate weight.

🧺 Care Instructions

Spot clean as needed with damp cloth. If using cotton yarn, hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry. Remove plant before washing. Check knots and ring attachment periodically for wear and tighten as needed. Maximum recommended pot weight with soil is 5 pounds.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Bulky). You'll need about approximately 175 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Bulky yarns work up fast and have more visible stitch texture — try wool or wool-blend for best results.
This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, sc, dc, hdc and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "12 sc x 13 rows = 4 inches in single crochet". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Spot clean as needed with damp cloth. If using cotton yarn, hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry. Remove plant before washing. Check knots and ring attachment periodically for wear and tighten as needed. Maximum recommended pot weight with soil is 5 pounds. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
