I was inspired by a photo of a macramé planter on Pinterest for the design of this mini planter. It is simple yet stunning and would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, or it would be a great way to spruce up a camper or a boho dorm room. Using a smaller hook, crochet thread and small ring, you could even have a planter to hang on your rearview mirror in your car (or even glue a fake plant inside and make it a keychain)! They would also make great wedding favors! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Supplies Needed:

  • Wooden ring, 2.75-3” in size
  • Approx. 40-50 yards of size 4 worsted weight cotton yarn, double strands held together (so technically 80-100 yards). I used Peaches & Cream in the color Ecru
  • Size J 6.0 mm hook, or size needed to obtain gauge
  • 7-10 10 mm wooden beads (optional) -scissors, tape measure, yarn needle, stitch markers
