Trendy hanging basket

We have created our hanging basket for a terracotta pot with a height of 12.5 cm. For the reworking you cut natural coloured 6 threads Cotton cord into approx. 2,5 m long threads.

Pull it halfway through the wooden ring with approx. Ø 10 cm and knot it as follows

First fix each thread with a knot on the wooden ring. You have 12 threads in front of you. Start by knotting the two outer left threads together. Now take the right thread from this knot and knot it with the 3rd thread from the left. Take the right thread from the new knot again and knot it with the 4th thread in the row. Continue in this way until all threads are knotted. Make another row with this technique.

Then combine all the threads into one big common knot.

Place your flower pot under the threads as a test and use the flower to determine the length of the thread to the next knot. Now knot two threads together. Set another row of knots always with the right and left thread of the last row of knots. This way you get the great grid pattern.

Set a third row of nodes and then combine all the nodes into one particularly strong node. This will later carry the weight of the flowerpot and must therefore be made with special care.

Finally you only should cut off the thread ends

Matching this idea, you can create another hanging basket Macramé-with a only little chalky paint, small wooden rings and mini terracotta pots: read our instructions no. 1469
