Making Your Crochet Rhea Plant Hanger
Materials:
- Cotton yarn in your desired color(s) - amount depends on the size of your plant hanger
- Crochet hook - size appropriate for your yarn weight
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Step by step Pattern
1. Base ring:
- Start with a magic ring or chain 4, slip stitch to join and form a ring.
- Crochet single crochets (sc) around the ring, increasing as needed to create a flat circle. The size of the base ring will determine the size of your plant hanger. A good starting point is 8 sc in the ring, then increasing every other stitch until you have 20-24 sc.
2. Netting:
- Chain 2, and then skip one stitch below.
- In the next stitch, crochet a double crochet (dc).
- Chain 1, and skip one stitch below.
- Repeat dc, chain 1, skip stitch around the entire base ring.
- This creates the first row of netting.
3. Continue building the netting:
- In the second row, you will be crocheting into the chain spaces from the previous row.
- Chain 2, then skip one dc from the previous row.
- In the next chain space, crochet a dc.
- Chain 1, and skip one dc from the previous row.
- Repeat dc, chain 1, skip stitch around the entire round.
4. Shaping:
- As you continue crocheting rows of netting, you can add shaping to create the plant hanger design you like.
- In the image, the hanger appears to have a slight decrease towards the top. To achieve this, you can skip two dc stitches instead of one at regular intervals around the round.
- You can also experiment with different spacing and skipped stitches to create other shapes or designs.
5. Finishing touches:
- Once you have reached the desired length for your plant hanger, fasten off and weave in the yarn ends.
- Add 3 or 4 chains to create a loop for hanging.
- You can embellish your plant hanger with tassels, fringe, or other decorations (optional).
Tips:
- Use a stitch marker to help you keep track of the beginning of each round.
- Pay attention to your tension to create an even and consistent mesh.
- You can adjust the size of the plant hanger by using thicker yarn or a larger crochet hook.
- Get creative with your color choices and shaping to personalize your plant hanger.
