One of the goals in our house this year is to save money and be healthier by cooking more at home and ordering take-out less. I love to cook with fresh ingredients so I created this pattern so I could have herbs in my kitchen. If herbs aren’t your thing, you could use this plant holder for succulents and small indoor plants too.
This pattern uses Lionbrand re-up yarn. This yarn is my new favorite because it is made from recycled cotton so it is durable and eco-friendly. This pattern is worked by using two strands at once so the holder keeps its shape well.
Save this pattern for later on Pinterest!
