Netting Row 2

* dc in the first st, ch1, sk next st*, repeat from * around, sl st to the first dc (repeat this row for the larger size)
Leave your hook where it is and now we will place stitch markers in the stitches where the “chains” of the plant hanger will be attached.
From the first dc,* skip the next 5 sts, place a stitch marker in the next st* repeat from * 2 more times.
Now we will make the “chains” to hang the planter
Grab your hook and ch40 (or your desired length)
sl st to the marked st that is directly opposite the beginning of your chain, leave a long tail to weave in
Join your cord to a st that is marked with a st marker
ch 40, sl st to the last marked st, leave a long tail to weave in
Now you can weave in all the ends. Use the long tails to reinforce the joins where the “chain” of the plant hanger meets the “basket”.
