Crochet terms used

The instructions in Boho Crochet Plant Hanger Pattern use US terms: ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), hdc (half double crochet), dc (double crochet), inc (two stitches in one), and dec (decrease). Counts in parentheses show the stitches expected after that row or round.

Crocheted pot sling

Use firm worsted cotton with a 4 mm hook for a dense, low-stretch fabric. The sample fits a pot whose base is about 12-14 cm; stop earlier for a smaller pot.

Base and mesh basket

1. Round 1: 8 hdc in a magic ring. (8)
2. Round 2: Inc in every stitch. (16)
3. Round 3: Repeat (hdc, inc) 8 times. (24)
4. Round 4: Repeat (2 hdc, inc) 8 times. (32)
5. Round 5: Repeat (3 hdc, inc) 8 times. (40)

The disk should be about 1 cm smaller than the pot base. Mesh round 1: Ch 3, which counts as the first dc; ch 1, skip the next stitch, then repeat (dc in next stitch, ch 1, skip next stitch) 19 times and join to the third starting chain. (20 dc and 20 ch-1 spaces) Later mesh rounds: Sl st into the next ch-1 space, ch 3, ch 1, skip the next dc, then repeat (dc in the next ch-1 space, ch 1, skip the next dc) 19 times; join. Continue until the basket reaches two-thirds of the pot height, then work 1 sc in every dc and ch-1 space. (40)

Four suspension cords

Mark the top edge every 10 stitches. At each marker, join yarn, chain 90-120 cm, sl st in the second chain and every chain back, then secure through three adjacent top-edge stitches. Gather all four cord ends through a smooth ring rated for the wet plant weight and sew each end back along 5 cm of its own cord. Test over a padded floor with at least 1.5 times the expected load for several hours. Never hang over a bed, seat, walkway, or fragile object.

Tips & troubleshooting

Count at the shaping points

Place markers before every increase, decrease, join, or attachment in this pattern. Confirm each checkpoint stated in Boho Crochet Plant Hanger Pattern before moving forward because finishing cannot correct missing structural stitches.

Compare shape as well as count

Lay the work flat without stretching and compare paired pieces from the same viewing angle. Match the silhouette and measurements described in Boho Crochet Plant Hanger Pattern, rechecking a washed swatch before seaming fitted work.

Reinforce structural joins

Necks, handles, hanging points, hardware tabs, and baby-item attachments need more than one yarn pass. Reinforce every load-bearing join identified in Boho Crochet Plant Hanger Pattern, weave tails in two directions, and inspect the finished piece before use.
