Macrame Patterns: Plant Hanger with 2 Tiers

Plant Hanger by Kristen T.

This lovely plant hanger features 2 levels and consists mostly of square knots and half knots. Might be considered slightly beyond a beginner, but if you can do the basic macrame plant hangers, then you should be able to handle this one!

Materials Needed:

-4 yds. of 3-ply natural jute
-Four ^3/4in. wooden beads
-Eight ^1/2in. wooden beads
-Four 3in wood rings
-Four 1 ^1/4in wood rings

1. Cut 16, 4 yards, long cords of 4 ply or #72 natural jute. Take eight cords and fold in half, tie a scrap piece of cord around the middle to hold in place.
2. Cut a 1^yd. long peace of 4 ply or #72 natural jute and tie a wrapping knot for two in. Trim the ends and seal.
3. Divide cords into four groups of four cords each.
4. Tie a half-knot sinnet for 6 ^1/2in. (about 22 knots)
5. Take one of the ^1/2in. wooden beads and thread it onto the two filler cords, followed by on of the ^3/4in. wooden beads, with a second ^1/2in. wooden bead under it. Giving you three beads two ^1/2in. and one ^3/4in.
6. Tie a half-knot cross over; (make the knotting cords the filler cords and the filler cords the knotting cords).
7. Tie another half-knot sinnet for 4 ^1/2in. (about 14 knots)
8. Take one of the 1 ^1/4in wood rings and put the two filler cords through it. Tie a square knot under it to hold in place.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 for the other three groups of cords.
10. Drop down 3in. and tie a row of alternating square knots to make the basket.
11. Tie two more rows of alternating square knots up close to close the basket.
12. Cut a 1^yd. long peace of 3-ply natural jute, and tie a wrapping knot for 1 ^1/2in. up close to the last row of alternating square knots.

Cut cords ends to 1 ^1/2in. and frizz.
