1.Granny Square Hanging Planter

This crochet plant hanger pattern combines traditional granny square motifs with a hanging design, offering a trendy yet functional piece. I know you’ll love this blend of classic crochet techniques and practical use as much as I do!

Construction is straight forward.  Once the three squares are made, the hanging chains are created by simply chaining for the length of the hang which then continue with a flat slip stitch to join the squares with further chains one the squares are joined.   Diagrams are included.

• If you use the recommended yarn of Red Heart Granny Square All In One you’ll have enough to make four hangers.
• This hanger fits 6″ [15 cm] diameter plant pot.
