Hello, everyone! My name is Melody, and I’m a fiber artist in New Hampshire. I learned how to crochet when I was around nine years old, and though I’ve since learned a host of other crafts, crochet is the one I know best. It’s so versatile and sculptural - there’s almost nothing you can’t make with a hook and yarn! This summer I’ve been really inspired to make wall hangings and pieces that reflect the outdoors. As we move into autumn, I’m starting to bring in the transitional blooms and greens in vases around my home. There’s a giant field full of Queen Anne’s Lace by my parents’ house that inspired me to create this design, and I hope it inspires you too! This simple crochet wall hanging does double duty as both artwork and a functional vase or plant holder. Get creative with how you use it!

This design is wonderful for vases and skinny jars, but you can also leave off the cinching slip stitches in the last round to create a looser fit for a pot. You can also work fewer rows of the mesh stitch to make a shorter cup! The possibilities are up to your creativity. Have fun!
