A plant hanger can add yarn texture to a green corner while making room on a shelf or table. The projects below range from spare chain-and-knot slings to clustered crochet baskets and a solid wall-hanging cozy. They are eight different complete projects, each linked to its original designer’s instructions so you can compare the construction before choosing one.
About the illustrations: All images and covers are AI-generated styling and color inspiration, not official pattern photos or projects made or tested by Speshtattoo. Stitch repeats, cord numbers, dimensions, attachments and decorative details may differ from the patterns. The notes beside each idea explain key differences; follow the original instructions for the actual construction.
All eight references offered complete free web instructions when checked on October 26, 2026, with no account or download required to read them. Optional paid PDFs are noted where applicable. Pots, plants and wall hardware are separate supplies, and the illustrations do not demonstrate a load rating. Check fit, yarn stretch and attachments with your actual planted container before placing a hanger in use.
1.) A Simple Chain-and-Knot Hanger in Natural Twine
A spare chain-and-knot hanger is a good option when you want the pot and foliage to remain prominent. Nicky’s design uses crocheted chains arranged with knots, giving the piece an open, rope-like appearance. Natural twine looks relaxed beside terracotta, while a sturdy colored yarn would create a different mood. Choose the actual pot before arranging the knots so the cradle fits its outline. Keep the strands even and follow the finishing guidance rather than relying on the picture. A small upright plant makes the open structure easy to see. The simplicity of the design gives careful knot placement a noticeable role in the finished display.

Image and pattern notes: The illustration interprets the visible strand count, knot spacing, chain thickness and overall drop. The complete free tutorial uses six crocheted chain lengths, knotting and a top loop; it is not an all-macramé pattern. The sample is about 42 inches long.
2.) A Woven-Lattice Basket in Warm Ochre
A lattice basket adds more stitch detail while still allowing the pot to show through. Ashlea’s design uses an open woven-lattice surface between a circular base and a finished upper edge, then adds hanging chains. Ochre gives the texture warmth against green leaves and a light wall. Check the pot diameter against the size instructions instead of assuming that any small planter will fit. A trailing plant can soften the overall outline, but leave some of the front clear if you want the stitchwork to stay visible. This design is especially appealing when the pot beneath it has a simple, uninterrupted surface.

Image and pattern notes: The illustration changes the color and approximates the lattice repeat and strap length. The complete free page includes two sizes, base, sides and hangers. Its sizing section lists approximately 3.5–4-inch and 4.5–5.5-inch pot diameters; an optional printable PDF is paid. Its illustrated diamond mesh is more regular and net-like than the pattern’s woven-lattice texture.
3.) A Square-Based Sling for a Rounded Pot
A square can become a surprisingly graceful plant sling when its corners lift around a rounded pot. Esther’s design starts with an open crochet square and adds crossing chain straps, allowing the fabric to cup the container. Muted coral brings a soft accent to a pale room without needing beads or fringe. Pot shape matters here: the designer specifically favors a rounded container over a tall, narrow one. Compare your square with the chosen pot as you work and follow the corner-finishing notes carefully. The result can look simple and light from the front, with the construction becoming more obvious when viewed from below.

Image and pattern notes: The coral image approximates the mesh size and corner lift. The complete free instructions explain sizing the square and adding two crossing chain loops. The pattern is best suited to rounded pots; the pictured ceramic pot is a styling prop, not a crochet project.
4.) A Diamond-Texture Hanger with Wooden Details
A few wooden details can give an airy crochet basket a more finished decorative character. Jennifer’s design combines an open diamond-texture basket with a separate chevron hanger section and adjustable chain straps. A pale sea-glass shade works well with light wood and a white planter, keeping the overall palette calm. Read the whole assembly section before choosing your beads, because their openings must accommodate the chains used in the design. The three pot-size options make this a useful pattern to compare with a container you already own. Let the wooden ring and crochet texture provide the interest rather than adding several unrelated decorations.

Image and pattern notes: The illustration interprets the diamond repeat, chevron hanger, bead placement and strap lengths. The complete free page includes three sizes and wooden, plastic or crochet ring options. Wooden beads are optional; the ad-free PDF is paid.
5.) A Solid Cozy for a Reused Bottle Planter
A solid crochet cover offers a different look from the open hangers in this collection. Rebecca’s project combines a reused plastic-bottle planter with a simple crocheted cover and a single hanging loop. A marled cream-and-grey yarn can make the compact shape feel like a quiet wall accent. Read the bottle-preparation tutorial as well as the crochet section, since the inner container is part of the project rather than an optional detail. Size the fabric to that container and check the loop placement before finishing. This is a useful direction when you prefer a neat fabric surface over a visible network of cords.

Image and pattern notes: The illustration changes the yarn and approximates the cover and loop proportions. The complete free page includes bottle preparation, crochet cover and single-loop finishing. It uses a reused plastic bottle inside; it is not a freestanding crochet pot or a four-strap hanger.
6.) A Minimal Basket with Macramé-Inspired Chains
A dense lower basket and open upper chains create an appealing balance of texture and empty space. Megan’s plant hanger uses a compact crochet base and sidewall, then changes to long chain sections connected around a metal ring. A slate-blue yarn makes the form feel modern beside a pale pot. Compare your container with the stated size range and remember that the finished drop changes when the holder is carrying weight. A small leafy plant works well without hiding the basket completely. Keep the styling restrained so the change from solid crochet to open chains remains the feature you notice first.

Image and pattern notes: The blue illustration approximates the chain joins and number of visible strands. The complete free pattern includes the basket, interconnected chain section and metal-ring attachment, fitting roughly 3–5-inch pots. A paid ad-free PDF is optional.
7.) An Iris-Stitch Holder in a Muted Lavender
Iris stitch gives a plant holder a gentle clustered texture that looks different from a plain mesh. Agat’s design continues the stitch around the pot and forms four hanging sections as part of the final construction. Muted lavender is an appealing choice beside soft green foliage, especially when the pot underneath is neutral. Compare the two finished diameter options with your container before starting. If you prefer a quieter finish, leave off the optional beads and let the clusters do the decorative work. Keep the hanging sections equal in length so the pot sits evenly and the repeating pattern is easy to appreciate.

Image and pattern notes: The lavender image changes the color, omits optional beads and approximates cluster size and strap drop. The complete free pattern includes small and large holders with four hanging sections; listed finished diameters are approximately 4.5 and 6.5 inches. It is not a coaster-only pattern.
8.) An Arched Cotton Holder with Six Cords
A holder with a series of open arches can frame a simple terracotta pot beautifully. Sarah’s design builds the base and decorative sides in rounds, then adds one cord for each arch. Warm cream keeps the shapes clear and gives the orange-brown pot a natural contrast. The pattern is designed around a tapered container and also explains changes for straight sides, so choose the version that matches your pot. Read the cord options before deciding which finish you prefer. This is a good choice when you want a little decorative movement around the pot without using a long fringe or a heavily embellished basket.

Image and pattern notes: The cream image approximates the arches, cord construction and overall drop. The complete free pattern is sized for a 5-inch tapered pot and includes straight-sided adjustments, resizing notes and two cord options. Six cords are used for the standard size; pot and plant are separate props. The image elongates the open panels and adds a gathered top finish; use the source’s arch repeats and cord instructions instead.
Match the Hanger to the Pot First
Choose your container before choosing a yarn color. A square sling, fitted basket and solid cozy support different pot shapes, so the measurements and attachment method matter more than copying a photograph. Think about where the foliage will sit, how you will remove the pot for watering and whether the finished drop suits the space. One well-fitted hanger can provide plenty of texture without filling the whole wall.
