Hanging Herb Holder: Easy Plant Hanger Crochet Pattern

This pattern is worked in joined rounds using basic stitches including the Chain, Single, Double, and Slip!

This plant hanger is worked in one solid piece, including the hanging loops.

The full length of the Hanging Herb Holder is 23” long and about 7” wide, which is perfect for holding most flower posts of the same width.

The six loops used to hang this plant holder are an interesting feature, which also make this design very sturdy.

This can be used indoors or outdoors to hold any of your favorite plants, herbs, or flowers!

This is a great pattern to work up because:

• Hangers like this are quick and easy projects to make.
• You can use most weight 4 yarns you already have in your stash!
• This project works great with cotton yarns!
• You’ll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: joined rounds, stitch tension, gauge & size, chain, single, and triple crochet stitches, finishing techniques & more!
