All of these crochet patterns have been designed with Jute string
in mind. Jute is fast becoming a popular material to work with, it is durable and has a natural neutral tone, which is very popular with decor and fashion right now. Just works out cheaper than most yarns and is an interesting medium to work with.
One thing I did find is the Jute dried out my hands a little so make sure you have some moisturizer on hand or wear your compression gloves
if you use those. So what exactly is Jute? Jute is a natural vegetable fiber grown in tropical climates such as India. It is a grass-like natural fiber. It often reminds me of horse hay or hessian. Jute is also a good yarn to crochet with for anyone who is strictly vegan and prefers not to crochet with animal products.
So overall I love working with jute and found it an interesting and durable texture to Crochet with. All of these patterns were free at the time of writing this article.

Just a thought for next year, or even for a gift this year–in place of coco shell liners for wire planters, I crocheted jute liners. That was especially helpful for the oddly-shaped planters, and for the unconventional planters, like any decorative wire basket that can hold plants.
