In brief

You’ll craft a sturdy macramé plant hanger with four branches using square and twisting knots—ideal for beginners. The tutorial walks through tying knots to form branches, creating a pot net, and finishing with a clean fringe. Perfect for hanging small potted plants.

Questions & answers

How many strings do I need for a three-branch planter?

Use six strings instead of eight.

Can I adjust the string length to save material?

Yes—cut half the strings shorter for filler strands in each branch.

Description from the creator

Materials: 3mm single strand cotton string, metal or wooden ring (60-70mm)

Cut eight pieces of string to a length of 4.5 yards or 4 meters.

Double the strings over the ring. Use a 24 inch string to create a gathering knot.

To create the first branch, find four strings that are close together. Create about 18 square knots. Repeat with the next four strands to begin the second branch. Continue until all the strings have been used.

To complete the first branch, create twisting half square knots until the length of the twisting knots is the same as the length of the square knots. Repeat with the remaining branches.

Once all four branches have been completed, create the net for the pot using alternating square knots.

Close the net at the bottom with a gathering knot.

Trim the fringe to the desired length.

Note: To make a planter with three branches, begin with six strings.

Note: To conserve materials, cut half the strings to a shorter length. These will be the middle, or filler strings, of each branch.
