I am a crochet designer, macramé maker and a crafter who also loves doing MATH.

Alongside being zero-maintenance and eternal, a crochet hanging pot can be made as colorful as you wish. (With the crochet flowers, of course). You can hang it almost anywhere (no dirtiness), from the car to the kitchen.

It probably first appeared as the popular “Crochet Hanging Vines Pattern,” and now there is a flood of its variations.

But, below, I have tried to discuss the REALLY best ways to crochet hanging potted plant patterns, from the classic Wisteria hanging vines to a pot filled with crochet flowers. You will not want to miss even a single one of them for spring, with the charm they offer.

How to Make hanging mechanism for crochet hanging pot?

Option A: Three-Strand Suspension

3 equal-length crochet chains that can also be an I-cord or half I-cord. All joined at the top into a single loop. Attached evenly around the pot rim.

Option B: Four-Strand Basket Style

4 chains from four points More stability for heavier pots

Once all strands are attached, gather them at the top. Insert a metal ring, wooden ring, or crochet loop and make a knot.

Crochet Pot Pattern

• Start with a magic ring and work 6 single crochets (sc) into it. Pull tight and continue increasing in rounds to make a flat base.
• Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (12 stitches).
• Round 3: 1 sc, 2 sc repeat (18 stitches).
• Continue increasing evenly until the base reachers the diameter you are looking for.
• Stop increasing and start making the sides. Work single crochet in each stitch around without any increases. This naturally makes the edges rise upward and form the pot shape. After stuffing, you will also want to decrease to close the top.

Crochet Basic Flower

Start with a magic ring and work 5 single crochets (sc) into it.

Start, the petals: chain 2, then in the same stitch work (1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 single crochet). Slip stitch. Repeat this petal pattern in each stitch around until you have 5 petals total. Each petal will naturally fan out from the center.

Way #1: Bell Crochet Hanging Pot Plant

Lily of the Valley flowers always face down when blooming, as if they were hung from their stems. So, they naturally make and have been one of the most reasonable and elegant inspirations for a crochet hanging.

However, not until recently came this Lily of the Valley hanging plant pattern, which has all the features of a classic crochet hanging vine. So, it features a stuffed pot from which the Monstera leaf vines and strings of bell flowers are popping.

For the leaf, you actually have to follow the one-round heart pattern. On the other hand, the flowers will need puff stitches and should be crocheted in three shades of pink.

Way #2: Crochet A Hanging Wisteria Plant

Wisteria grows in long, drooping clusters; exactly what we need for a crochet hanging. In fact, this has been the most popular flower to add to a crochet potted hanging.

This will feature the Wisteria in three shades of purple (dark, medium, and light purple) and a pot in dull white.

The clever pattern lets you crochet the complete flower along with the stem as a single piece. Decorate your porch, window, or garden with this eternal potted plant.

Way #3: Crochet A Hanging Rose Plant

Hang this potted roses hanging in your car using three-strand hanging cords. The large portion of this potted plant features the hanging vines with loopy leaves with 10 basic crochet roses.

You need the same base pot pattern that you are seeing from the beginning. The clever pattern will let you crochet the rose by first making a 5-petal flower and then gluing it into the rose.

This is not a difficult hanging variation and in fact easier than most. Don’t miss crocheting it this spring.

Way #4: Crochet Hanging Potted Plant

Looking for a hanging pot for spring? Crochet this colorful and bright mini flower hanging pot with an easy pattern. The idea is to crochet a ribbed pot overfilled with crochet basic flowers and a leaf with a three-cord hanging.

This hanging is just so special that you will want to crochet it now. Whether you choose pink, purple, or blue, you have to use many shades of the same color along with white.

You actually don’t have to fill the whole pot. Just stuff it and then attach the flowers all around like covering.

Way #5: Leaf Crochet Hanging Pot

This is a hanging with vines of 4-leaf clover leaves and two small blooms. It has the vines of varying lengths, which for sure, makes it a realistic decoration for your home garden.

A soil yarn provides a natural contrast with the green and the pink. You can easily crochet the vines of tiered leaves without sewing if you follow the pattern carefully.

You should also focus on the arrangement a lot because it may look artificial otherwise. The pot is again ribbed, which looks quite elegant.
