Floral Crochet Wall Hanging

Materials:

• Yarn:
  • Lightweight cotton yarn in various colors (beige, pink, yellow, purple, blue, green) - approximately 50g of each color.
• Hook:
  • 2.5mm crochet hook.
• Base:
  • 12-inch embroidery hoop or similar round frame.
• Scissors.
• Tapestry needle for weaving ends.
• Hot glue gun (optional, for securing flowers).

Gauge: Gauge is not crucial for this project. However, aim for a tight stitch to maintain structure. To measure gauge, crochet a swatch of 10 stitches and 10 rows in single crochet. It should measure approximately 2 inches square.

Abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• dc = double crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• st(s) = stitch(es)

Instructions:

Creating the Flowers:

1. Choose your yarn color. Start by making a magic circle. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. In the magic circle, make 11 additional double crochets (12 dc in total). Pull the magic circle tight to close. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3. (You will create a flower shape.)
3. Chain 2, *make 1 double crochet, chain 1, 1 double crochet in the same stitch*; repeat from * to * around for 6 petals. Close off and weave in the ends. Repeat for different colors to make about 15-20 flowers of varying sizes and colors.

Creating the Leaves:

1. With green yarn, chain 10. In the 3rd chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet. In the next chain, make 1 single crochet, chain 1, and turn.
2. In the next chain, make 1 single crochet in the first chain, chain back up to the top chain of the original chain and finish off.
3. Make 10-12 leaves in total.

Assembling the Wall Hanging:

1. Open the embroidery hoop and tighten it around the frame to create a taut surface for attaching flowers.
2. Start gluing the flowers and leaves onto the frame, arranging them as desired to create a vibrant mixed bouquet. Allow the glue to dry completely.
3. Once dry, you can add additional flowers or leaves to fill in any gaps. Make sure everything is securely attached.

Finishing Touches:

Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. To block, dampen the flowers slightly and shape them before letting them dry completely. This will help maintain the shape and give a polished finish. Hang your beautiful floral wall hanging using the attached hanger or choose a decorative ribbon for a touch of elegance.

Optional Variations:

Experiment with different flower patterns such as daisies or roses, or add a personalized message at the base of the wall hanging. Use variegated yarn for an interesting color blend.
