Thick Woven Hanging Planter

This diy uses a knot that we haven’t seen yet – an Alternating Half Hitch Knot! What’s great about this set of instructions is that it only uses the Half Hitch Knot, so you can practice the knot over and over and not get overwhelmed with needing to know too many things or alternate between a lot of knots.

The finished look is thick, woven and really cool.

craft supplies needed for this easy free macrame basket pattern

• macrame cords (I use two different 4 mm cord colors, my favorite combo is always black and white/ivory)
• craft scissors
• comb
• 1″ or 1.5″ wooden dowel rod

I always use cotton cords for my projects but have used synthetic cords as well for outdoor macrame projects like my solar macrame hanging lantern because it doesn’t rot and disintegrate. The feel and look of a cotton cord are much nicer though.
