Remember those macrame plant hangers that everyone had in the 70’s? I’ve debated teaching myself how to macrame just so I could make one! Then I realized I could do something similar with crochet and butcher twine! You could use cotton yarn, but it would stretch with the weight of the planter and butcher twine is so much sturdier.
So if you’d love to have a gorgeous kitchen accent hanging by your sink like I do, then this is your lucky day! My first stop was a consignment shop to load up on different size glass bowls and jars. This was surprisingly simple. I was able to gather all the bowls and containers in one shop for less than a dollar each.
I’m happy to share my free pattern with you for a smaller planter and a mason jar as well! Enjoy these other patterns too!

After join, *ch 34 and sc in chain space (through the entire row for sturdiness) after 5th 3dc cluster* Repeat from * to *. Join to bottom of first chain (of the first chain you made). You will now have 4 hanging loops.
Long strings
Chain 100, fasten off. Make 4 long strands.
Loop each chain through the 4 hanging loops (doubling the chain). Gather each chain together in a group at the top and wrap many times over with string until very tight. Weave the end through with needle. It will look like this:
