14. Ch 1, sc in each st to end of round, working 3sc in each hanger opening, sl st to join. Finish off and weave in ends. Set aside.
Hanger
This is made with loops at the end of each of the three hanger straps to slip over a carabiner hook or something similar that opens.
With K hook and 2 strands nylon held together, *ch 6, sl st in first ch to create a loop, ch 60, sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across*, repeat for a total of 3 straps. Finish off and weave in ends.
Lay hanger piece on a flat surface and make sure it is not twisted. Pull one end through a hanger opening on the top edge of the holder. Fold end of hanger piece back against itself. With matching yarn and yarn needle sew layers together, approximately 2” from end.
Repeat for all three hanger pieces, making sure straps are not twisted or hanging weird.
Slip top loops over carabiner.
Insert a pot, fill with your favorite flowers and hang from a hook. Enjoy!
