Pattern Details

Foundation—Magic Circle

1. Create a magic circle:
   • Wrap yarn around fingers to form two parallel loops.
   • Insert hook under the first loop, pull the second loop through, and complete with a chain stitch.
2. Chain 3 (this will count as the first stitch).
   Save
3. Work 5 puff stitches into the magic circle:
   • Puff Stitch:
     • Yarn over, insert hook through the circle, pull up the loop to match the height of the chain 3.
     • Repeat yarn over and pull through (3 times total), achieving 7 loops on the hook.
     • Yarn over and pull through all 7 loops. Chain 1 to secure the puff stitch.
4. Tighten the magic circle by pulling its tail. Slip stitch into the first puff stitch to close the round.

Round 1

1. Chain 3 to begin.
2. Work a puff stitch into the same stitch as the chain 3 (refer to the puff stitch instructions above):
   • Chain 1 after completing the puff stitch.
3. Continue working puff stitches into the chain 1 spaces all around:
   • You should have 10 puff stitches at the end of this round.
     Save
4. Slip stitch into the first puff stitch (skipping the chain 3).

Round 2

1. Chain 3 to start.
2. Work puff stitches only into previous puff stitches (not the chain 1 spaces).
   • In this round, instead of chaining 1 after each puff stitch, chain 4:
     • This will create the mesh portion of the hanger.
3. Continue working puff stitches and chain 4 across the round.
   • You should have 10 puff stitches at the end, joined with a slip stitch to the first puff stitch.

Round 3—Mesh Section Begins

1. Slip stitch into the first chain 4 space.
   • Chain 1 and make 1 single crochet into the same chain 4 space.
2. Chain 4, then work 1 single crochet into the next chain 4 space.
3. Repeat this pattern (chain 4, single crochet into chain 4 space) all around.
4. Once the round is complete, join with a slip stitch into the very first chain 1 space.
5. Optional: Place a stitch marker at the start of each round for better tracking.
   Save

Building Mesh

1. Repeat the Round 3 mesh pattern for 6 total rows:
   • Chain 4, single crochet into the next chain 4 space.
   • Be sure to join each round with a slip stitch into the first chain 1 space.

Finalizing the Mesh

1. After completing 6 rows of the mesh, chain 1, cut the yarn, and pull through to fasten off neatly.
2. Weave in any remaining ends using the tapestry needle.

Attaching the Chains

Keyring Setup

1. Take the metal keyring and securely tie your yarn onto one side.
   • Double knot for extra security.
2. Insert the hook into the ring and pull up a loop.
   • Chain 60 (or more, depending on the desired hanging length).

Attaching Chains to Mesh

1. Use stitch markers to define attachment points:
   • On the last row of the mesh (single crochet stitches), mark:
     • First stitch, skip 2 stitches, mark the third stitch.
     • Skip one stitch, mark the next stitch.
     • Skip two stitches, mark the last one.
   • This helps evenly distribute chains for balanced hanging.
2. Remove the first marker, insert the hook from front to back into the marked stitch, and slip stitch to join.
   • Chain 1, cut the yarn, and pull through.
3. Save
   Repeat the process for all remaining chains around the mesh. Rotate the body of the hanger as needed to prevent chains from twisting.

Finishing the Keyring

1. Tie yarn securely to the left side of all chains on the keyring.
2. Crochet around the chains to neaten the look and secure ends:
   • Insert hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull through both the chain and ring loops.
   • Yarn over and pull through again to complete single crochet.
3. Continue single crocheting around all chains on the keyring, working in tail ends for a clean finish.
4. Once complete, join the round with a slip stitch into the first single crochet.
5. Chain 1, cut the yarn, and pull through. Weave in any remaining ends.

Tips for Success

2. Secure Knots: Double knot at key points, especially around the keyring, to ensure the hanger is durable.
3. Customization: Add embellishments like tassels or beads to the chains for added style.

Customization Ideas

1. Color Variations:
   • Use different yarn colors for the puff stitches, mesh rows, or chains.
   • Create ombre effects by changing colors gradually across rows.
2. Size Adjustments:
   • For larger pots, expand the initial magic circle by making additional puff stitches in each round.
   • Increase the number of rows in the mesh section for more depth.
3. Alternative Uses:
