How to Make Mock-rame Hangers – Free Crochet Pattern
I’ve always been a fan of the macramé plant hangers, so I knew I had to make something like it. Seeing that I crochet, my only option was to make these Mock-rame Hangers.

I made them with the idea of camping or outdoor gatherings. They would even be great decorations for an outdoor wedding. Of course they can also be hung inside too and the candle holders can be replaced with potted plants.
These hangers were originally made using Red Heart Cordial yarn, which is now discontinued, but you could use any macrame cord.
