This intermediate-level project is a great choice for crafters with some knotting experience. You'll be working with a lark's head, square, and alternating square knots to create a textured, functional pocket. Before you begin, take a peek at our Beginner's Guide to Macrame so you can put your best knot forward. 

Once you master a few simple knots, the question really becomes, what can't you macrame? From plant holders to wall hangings, curtains, and even wearable art, this age-old craft offers incredible versatility. Our Macrame Pocket Plant Holder is a testament to that versatility. It's practical, stylish, and delightfully compact — for displaying cascading plants like this beautiful string of pearls.

The beauty of this project lies in its intricate simplicity. The alternating square knot pattern gives the pocket depth and structure, while the lark's head knot adds stability and a decorative touch. With this project, you'll strengthen your knotting skills and gain confidence in creating dimensional designs — a high achievement in the macrame world. 

Once your Macramé Pocket Plant Holder is complete, the fun can really begin! Hang it near a sunny window, in your kitchen, or even in your bathroom to add life to unexpected spaces. This project also makes a thoughtful handmade gift for fellow plant lovers.
