Crochet Wall Art
For those new to the art of crocheting, a wall hanging is the perfect project to start with. Unlike a scarf or sweater, wall hangings require minimal shaping and can be created with just a few basic stitches. Also, the result is a stunning piece of crochet wall art that can be proudly displayed in your home.
Materials for Yarn Wall Hanging
When it comes to choosing the right materials for your crochet wall hanging, keep in mind that the options are endless. From soft yarn in pastel colors to using the leftover yarn you have in storage, each choice you make will impact the outcome of your masterpiece.
Firstly, consider the texture, weight, and color scheme you want to achieve, as these elements will come together to create a unique piece that fits your home decor and reflects your artistic vision.
In fact, for this crochet wall hanging we used the Lion Brand Yarn Mandala Baby Yarn, Diagon Alley which was as a leftover yarn for this Crochet Baby Blanket. Most importantly, its weight and fiber are ideal to hold the texture. As a result, you’ll easily create these beautiful puffs you see on the photo.
In summary, to create this simple crochet wall hanging, you’ll need:
- any yarn (used the Lion Brand, weight #3, light);
- corresponding crochet hook (in this example, G6 4mm) & tapestry needle ;
- scissors;
- wooden dowel.
Crochet Wall Hanging – Free Pattern
First, let’s list the basic crochet stitches you’ll use for this easy crochet wall-hanging pattern (according to Craft Yarn Council, US terms).
Abbreviations
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- bo – bobble stitch
- st – stitch
Most importantly, check out a very detailed tutorial on BOBBLE STITCH if you are not familiar with it. Furthermore, make your bobbles pretty tight. As a result, you’ll have a texture that is characteristic of this wall-hanging pattern.
Foundation Chain
Ch 30 (multiple of 29).
Row 1
Next, sc into the 2nd ch from the hook and every ch (29 sc st), ch 1.
Rows 2 – 4
Repeat row 1 by making 29 sc sts, ch 1.
Rows 5 – 25
Next, refer to the diagram to create a puff heart. Correspondingly, the diagram indicates the number of sc st you make in between each bobble (puff) stitch. Furthermore, there is a row of sc st after each puff st row.
As illustrated, each even row is a single crochet row: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24. However, each odd row is a bobble stitch row: 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25.
Rows 26 – 29
Ch 1, 29 sc st to the end of the row. In brief, the last 4 rows are just an easy repeat of single crochet stitches.
As a result, you have a beautiful square of textured heart (29 st x 29 rows). As illustrated, each heart needs 21 stitches, with 4 stitches in the beginning and the end. Also, you can adjust your crochet wall hanging width by increasing (or decreasing) the number of stitches before and after the heart.
That’s it! Finally, continue following the diagram to create 2 more squares (three total). Add 7 more sc cr rows at the end. Next, fold your work and put your wooden dowel inside. Lastly, slip stitch to finish.
Adding Finishing Touches
As illustrated, you can add a fringe on the bottom of your wall hanging. To do that, cut equal pieces of yarn, fold each in half, and tie them to each stitch of the foundation chain.
Next, spray the fringe lightly with water from the spray bottle and let it dry so it is nice and straight. Lastly, cut the ends with scissors to even them up. Finally, admire your work and find it a proper place among your spring home decor.
