Plant Hanger Extender Crochet Pattern

I Bought This beautiful

pot of petunias

 to hang up on my Deck....

But it was so high...

I couldn't reach it to water it,

without a ladder.

So I made this...

A Planter Hanger extender.

Now I can water them

and enjoy them.

Here is what I did:

With a thick yarn and a J hook

Ch 13, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and

in each ch across, ( 12 sc)

 then ch 6, turn,

working down the other side of the ch,

1 sc in each ch(12 sc)

Then ch 6 , join with a sl st and tie off.

Be sure to weave in ends securely

 for a strong hold.

Thanks!
