Red Heart Cordial is a sturdy yarn, that sort of reminds me of round shoe laces. It's perfect for projects that will be holding heavy objects. It also comes in an array of fun colors, like the All-Star and Jazzy (as shown in photos).
These hangers can be used as planter or candle holders. I immediately think "Outdoor Wedding".

NOTES
*Puff sts are worked in chain
spaces and chain space are worked skipping over puff sts.

candle hangers, make sure to use a container that is twice the height of the
candle so the flame does not reach the yarn or any trees around it. Do not
leave unattended.

FINISHING
Pair

the chains, slide 6 pony beads over 2 joined long tails and tie a knot at the
top to secure* 3X. Trim tails to same length and tie the 3 basket hangers to
the ring.
Optional:
Weave 3 strands of yarn through the bottom between rounds 1 & 2, for a
total of 6 tails. *Slide 2 beads over 2 adjacent tails and tie a knot to
secure* 3X. Tie all tails together in one big knot and trim to same length.
Optional:
Slide a charm over one strand, weave the strand through the bottom between
rounds 1 & 2 so each tail goes through to the inside of the hanger on
opposite sides. Tie the tails together on the inside.
