Need more gothic decorations for your home? This Hanging Skull Planter is probably my favorite crochet pattern. It’s the perfect size for your small planters; the one pictured is 6 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches high. Straps are about 9 inches and are made to open at the top so that your plants can be lifted out easily and safely.
