Colorful Crochet Wall Hanging

Materials:

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn (approx. 100g each in Pink, Light Blue, and Beige)
• Hook: 4mm crochet hook
• Wooden hoop: 30cm diameter
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge:

Gauge is not crucial for this project but aim for 14 stitches and 10 rows in double crochet (dc) to measure 10cm x 10cm. To measure gauge, make a small swatch of double crochet and count the number of stitches and rows in the specified area.

Abbreviations:

• ch - chain
• dc - double crochet
• sl st - slip stitch

Instructions:

Part 1: Base of the Wall Hanging

1. Using your beige yarn, make a foundation chain of 30 ch.
2. Row 1: Starting in the 4th ch from the hook, dc in each ch across. (Total: 28 dc)
3. Row 2: Ch 2 (this counts as the first dc), turn, dc in each stitch across. (Total: 28 dc)
4. Repeat Row 2 until the piece measures 20cm in height. (Approx. 10 rows)
5. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Part 2: Color Waves

1. Attach pink yarn to the bottom of the beige piece, repeat the same foundation chain of 30 ch.
2. Row 1: dc in the 4th ch from the hook, dc in each ch across. Switch to light blue yarn at the end of this row.
3. Row 2: Attach light blue and dc in each stitch across (you can hold onto the pink yarn to create a wave effect as you carry it over).
4. Row 3: Change to pink, and dc in each stitch across.
5. Row 4: Change to beige and dc across.

Continue this pattern until you reach a total height of 10cm in each color block, alternating every 2 rows (Approx. 10 total rows). Finish with a beige row for the top edge.

Part 3: Attachment to the Hoop

1. Lay the crochet piece flat against the wooden hoop, and fold the top edge over the hoop.
2. Using sl st, attach the folded edge to the hoop, making sure it’s secure.
3. Trim excess yarn if needed and weave in all ends.

Finishing Tips:

For an extra polished look, block your piece by gently washing it and laying it flat to dry. This helps define the stitches and shape. Alternatively, you can spray it lightly with water and stretch your crochet piece into shape, pinning if necessary.

Optional Variations:

For a different look, try using vibrant colors or add embellishments such as beads or tassels to the bottom of the wall hanging for a boho touch!
