Have you heard of air plants? I discovered them several months ago and fell in love. These adorable little desert plants don’t have roots, so they don’t need dirt. They just sit around looking cute. The most common type is called Tillandsia, and they’re quite affordable and easy to care for. Macrame plant hangers have been regaining their popularity, and I was inspired to crochet one. All you need is a hook to suspend the nest from. I’m going to make one for each of the plants in my ever-expanding collection; the one in the picture is my very first Tillandsia.

Gauge: First 3 rounds of pattern measure approximately 1″ (2.5 cm) in diameter. Exact gauge is not critical for this project. For reference, air plant pictured is 2″ (5 cm) long.
