Spring Wall Hanging - Free Crochet Pattern Loops & Love Crochet

This Spring Wall Hanging is such a fun and colorful project that is perfect for spring! Enjoy working it up and finding the perfect place to display it afterwards!

To make this wall hanging, you will be working from a graph using the intarsia/tapestry crochet technique (explained further in the pattern). Once the main panel is worked up, you’ll crochet it to a dowel for hanging. The fringe is added at the end.

This project would also make a great pillow! You’d just need to work up a second panel the same size as the first one and then crochet them together, adding stuffing in the middle.

Materials:

Worsted weight #4 yarn – The spring wall hanging pictured in this pattern was made with WeCrochet/Knit Picks Comfy yarn which is 75% cotton and 25% acrylic. Either cotton or acrylic yarn (or a blend) can be used for this project. This yarn is a little on the thinner side for a worsted-weight yarn. If you are substituting with another yarn, please refer to the gauge as your wall hanging may turn out larger or smaller, depending on yarn thickness. The colorways and yardages used are 135 yds of Ivory (cream), 12 yds of Peapod (green), 12 yds of Lilac (purple), 35 yds of Sea Foam (light blue), 35 yds of Zinnia (pink), and 12 yds of Honey (yellow).
To make the knotted fringe as shown, you’ll need a little bit more purple, pink, blue, green, and yellow yarn cut in strands to attach to the bottom of the panel. The yarn for the fringe is not include in the yardage calculations above.
Crochet Hook – 4 mm size crochet hook
Wooden Dowel (or similar material) – a 5/16” thick dowel was used for the wall hanging pictured. The dowel was cut to approx. 1-1.5 inches wider than the panel. You can also use a pre-cut 18” dowel and trim it down a touch or leave it slightly long on the sides.
Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Stitches Used:

Ch – Chain
Sl St – Slip stitch
SC – Single crochet

Gauge

2” square = approximately 10 rows of 9 SC stitches.

Finished Size:

When finished, the spring wall hanging panel (just the square crocheted piece) measures approximately 13” wide x 14.5” tall. This panel was blocked to make it even on all sides and flat.

Important Notes:

Turned Rows– Each panel is worked in turned rows of SC stitches. At the end of each row, chain 1 and turn. Chain 1 stitches do not count towards stitch count.

Color Changes – You will be changing colors often in this pattern. To change colors, complete the last SC in the first color up until the last yarn over. Yarn over with the new color and pull through last step of the SC stitch. So, your SC will go like this: insert hook into last stitch of the first color, pull up a loop, yarn over with new color, pull through all loops on hook. Now you will be working in the new color until you change colors again.

Intarsia Crochet Tips – For this project, you will be using the intarsia crochet technique. When you change colors, you will not be carrying the unused colors along under your stitches. Instead, you’ll be dropping the color that you are finished with (leaving it attached) and picking up the next color, pulling it over to where you are working the stitches. There will be a right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) of this project. You’ll see the color changes and the yarn traveling over on the wrong side (back of the panel that will be against the wall when hanging), but it will not be visible on the front. You’ll need to make sure you are only dropping and picking up your yarn on the wrong side of the project so it’s not visible on the right side (front). I’ve explained this further in the Graph Notes below.

Video Tutorial – There is not a specific video tutorial for the spring wall hanging pattern, however, to see how a similar wall hanging project is worked up, please see the video tutorial on my YouTube Channel HERE. This video provides more explanation and visuals on how to read a graph, work color changes, pick up and drop yarn, and attaching the dowel for hanging.

Graph Instructions

Below, you’ll see the graph for this project. Each box in the graph counts as one SC stitch. This means you’ll be working 70 rows of 59 stitches, following the color changes in the graph.

IMPORTANT NOTE – To read this graph, you will be starting at the bottom right and working your way across in back-and-forth rows. All ODD numbered rows will have the right side of the project facing you, EVEN numbered rows will have the wrong side facing you. When you are working on the right side (RS) or even numbered rows, make sure you are dropping the yarn to the back (away from you) for the color changes. When you are working on a wrong side (WS) row (odd numbered rows), make sure you are dropping the yarn on the front (towards you) for the color changes. This will ensure that the front of the wall hanging does not show any of the color changes since all the yarn is dropped and picked up on the back (wrong side).

On the wrong side, you will start to see where you drop and pick up each color, pulling it over to where you need it. Yes, it’ll be messy looking with all the ends and yarn carried across, but it’s the back so you won’t see it once it’s hanging on the wall.

Remember to keep consistent tension, even when working with the different colors. This is so your panel comes out nice and even on the sides. However, if it’s a little off at the end, blocking it will help.

I have also provided written instructions below for working all the color changes in the graph.

Color Key: A = Cream, B = Green, C = Purple, D = Yellow, E = Pink, F = Blue

Start the project in color A. Chain 59, SC in 2^nd ch from hook and in each stitch across, ch 1 turn (59) *This is row 1 of the graph.

Each row from 1-70 will be completed in SC stitches with a ch 1 and turn at the end of each row. When row 70 is finished, do not fasten off. Continue to the instructions for attaching your project to the dowel for hanging.

*Do not fasten off. Continue to next set of instructions below to finish the top to get your spring wall hanging ready for hanging.

Attaching to the Dowel and Adding the Chain

After completing row 70, ch 1 and turn so you now have the right side (RS) facing you. Line up your dowel along the top of your project. Now, you’ll work one last row of single crochet stitches, however, you’ll be working these stitches over the dowel. To make your SC stitches, insert your hook into the stitch, passing under the dowel. Yarn over on the other side of the dowel and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on your hook (see video tutorial).

Continue working SC stitches all the way across (59 sts in total). When you get to the other end, do not fasten off. Next, you’ll be making the long chain for hanging your project.

Chain 70 (or your desired length for the hanging chain), join with a slip stitch to the first stitch on the other side of the project. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Adding the Knotted Fringe (Optional)

For the knotted fringe, you’ll need groups of 4 strands of yarn in each color. Start with the first color of yarn (purple, as shown) and cut 4 strands of yarn measuring about 11” in length. I wrapped my yarn around a book four times and then cut them to keep the strands even in length.

Bundle your 4 yarn strands together. Use your yarn needle to pass them through the first stitch on the bottom of the wall hanging. Make sure the two sides are even in length and then knot all the strands together and pull it tight.

To create the same look as the spring wall hanging pictured, all 5 colors were repeated in order, with purple being at the start and the end. After the first fringe knot, the rest of the fringe will be placed in every 6^th stitch. The last fringe knot will be 5 stitches after the previous one, just because there are 59 stitches across the width of the wall hanging.

When you have added all the strands of fringe and knotted them, trim the strands evenly to your desired length.

That’s it! You’re all done your spring wall hanging! I hope you enjoyed working up this fun and colorful project!
