1. The Classic Square Knot Hanger

Let’s start with the foundation of macrame — the square knot. This timeless pattern is the go-to for beginners and a favorite for seasoned makers who love a clean, geometric look.

A classic square knot hanger typically uses four cords grouped into sections. You’ll create repeated square knots down each section, leaving enough space between them for an airy design. The pot is held by a cradle made of interlinked knots near the bottom.

This pattern works perfectly with natural cotton rope and a simple terracotta or ceramic pot. Hang it by a bright window, and let the clean symmetry of the knots elevate your plant’s beauty.
