I had this vision for Valentine’s decorating this year, and that was this wall hanging above my entryway table with a vase full of tealish blue flowers next to it, and a metal pick up truck under it full of something pink in the bed. It turned out exactly as I pictured it! But the lighting in my house is not good, and I could not get a picture of it in action that I was happy with so flat lay it is… For now… I have a big backdrop coming any day now, and I have plans for future my home decor pictures.

Materials:
- 570 Yards Total of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart’s Super Saver in Buff (255 Yards) and Soft White (315 Yards)
- H8/5mm Crochet Hook
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
- 12″ or Longer Wooden Dowel for Hanging – I got mine at a local bird shop
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value. I like these and Red Heart Super Saver for my home projects because it’s durable, and machine washes and dries ok.
If size isn’t essential to your project you can use any yarn from your stash with respective crochet hook.
Red Heart Super Saver is an inconsistent yarn. While the overall gauge isn’t important, it is important that the gauge for both yarns that you use are the same. I had to use an H8/5mm for my Soft White, and I9/5.5mm for my Buff.
Time Spent:
This wall hanging took me about 7-8 hours to complete.
Measurements:
- Fabric: 10 3/8″ Wide
- From Nail to Dowel: 10″ Tall
- From Nail to Bottom: 44″ Tall
Gauge:
5 Boxes = 4.25″ Wide by 4.13″ Tall
Abbreviations (US Terms):
- DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
- SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
- C2C – Corner to Corner [in DC] (Photo Tutorial)
Pattern Notes:
Project grows from the bottom right corner upward.
Row 6 is the right side of the fabric. Bring all tails to the wrong side.
This pattern is written with colors and boxes only. If you would like more details on how to work the corner to corner technique, check out my Corner to Corner in Double Crochet Photo Tutorial.
Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet, but beginning chain 1 doesn’t.
A box is comprised of four double crochet’s.
The “space under the same chain joined to” is defined as the space between the last two double crochets of the previous rows box.
Working the final double crochet into the top of the chain from the previous row helps to keep the edge more even. After completing the first box, you may also need to lightly tug on it to keep it even as well. The border will cover up any unevenness in the end.

R56 – 57: Decrease in White down to 1 Box.
Border: Chain 1, turn. SC into the space just to the right, in between two boxes, (chain 2, SC into the next space in between boxes) around, working a (SC, chain 2, SC) into each corner. When back around, work a final chain of 1, and then join to the 1st SC.
R2: Chain 1. SC into the 1st SC, 2 SC into the next chain space, (SC into the next SC, 2 SC into the next chain space) across, [(SC, chain 1, SC) into the next corner stitch, 2 SC into the next chain space, (SC into the next SC, 2 SC into the next chain space) down the side], (SC, chain 1, SC) into the next corner stitch, 2 SC into the next chain space, (SC into the next SC, 2 SC into the next chain space) across, (SC, chain 1, SC) into the next corner stitch, 2 SC into the next chain space, (SC into the next SC, 2 SC into the next chain space) up the side, (SC, chain 1, SC) into the next corner stitch, 2 SC into the next chain space, (SC into the next SC, 2 SC into the next chain space) across. Slip stitch to the 1st SC, and fasten off.
R3: With right side facing, reattach the yarn in the top right chain space. Chain 3 (counts as first DC + chain 1), skip 1 SC, DC into the next SC, (chain 1, skip 1 SC, DC into the next SC) 14x, chain 1, skip 2 SC, DC into the next SC, (chain 1, skip 1 SC, DC into the next SC) across working the last DC into the left corner chain space. (25 DC)
R4: Turn. Chain 60 (or desired length), then slip stitch into the last SC.
Fasten off. Before weaving in ends, I recommend threading dowel and testing to make sure it hangs the way you like, then weave all the ends in. Thread the dowel through Row 3 of the border with the two outside DC behind the dowel to help keep the shape.
