Easy Men's hat. Allen Williams I wasn’t expecting to crochet any hats today but this one snuck in to my afternoon.
We started Veteran’s Day (Remembrance Day here in Canada) by visiting Michael’s Crafts Store as it was having a two-day sale. Braided macrame plant hanger. Not much is needed in the way of materials.
The only thing you'll really have to get is some twine (which is dirt cheap; you can get a good 100m or so for about $5, and I used about half of it) and a pair of scissors. Depending on how you're going to attach the hanger to the ceiling, you might want to also add in a metal ring. I chose to leave my options open, so built a loop into the top of the hanger and for the moment I'm using a carabiner hooked into it. The carabiner then easily attaches to the hook in the ceiling. I also used some masking tape for step 4 (wrapping the pot), but this was not entirely necessary.
Why twine? The knots and techniques I used for this hanger are extremely simple. Finally, I found that it's good to build the hanger around a pot that is slightly smaller than the one you'll actually be using. Crocheted blocks. Baby throw. Hexagon table runner.
