Behind the Design: Car Hanging Plants

I got the idea to design car hanging plants after numerous people requested that I create some. This crochet hanging plant pattern is a fun way to add a touch of greenery to your car! You can choose from three variations: string of pearls, fern, and succulent. It's a quick craft project that will definitely draw attention! This crochet pattern is perfect for those looking to use up their yarn stash or for selling at craft markets!

Save it for Later!

The Car Hanging Plant Collection was my very first published crochet pattern. It has also been my best selling pattern since it's release! I love crocheting these cute little hanging plants, that serve as a beautiful decor piece. Check out some of my other crochet patterns!
