• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Base

1. Start with a Magic Ring: This will be the foundation of your plant hanger. To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (You should have 6 stitches.)
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st. (You should have 12 stitches.)
4. Round 3: Ch 1, *sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. Join with sl st. (You should have 18 stitches.)
5. Round 4: Ch 1, *sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. Join with sl st. (You should have 24 stitches.)
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until the base measures the desired diameter for your plant container. Make sure to check the size against your container as you go.

Creating the Sides

7. Work Even: Once you have reached the desired diameter, work even in single crochet for 10 rounds. This will create the sides of the hanger.

Creating the Netting

8. Start the Mesh Pattern: Chain 5 (Ch 5), skip 2 stitches, and sc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around the top edge of the sides.
9. Continue the Mesh: Keep working this mesh pattern for 5 rounds or until the desired height is reached. Make sure to maintain consistent tension for an even look.

Finishing Touches

10. Final Round: Finish with a round of single crochet, ensuring that the top is snug around the plant container. This will help secure the plant in place.
11. Create the Hanger: Make three long chains, each about 24 inches in length. Attach them evenly around the top edge of the hanger.
12. Form the Hanger Loop: Gather the three chains together and tie a knot at the top. This will create a sturdy loop for hanging your plant hanger.
