The Bat Crazy Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

Happy Almost Spooky Season Everyone! I finally feel like I am coming out of my shell like a little Halloween butterfly now that my favorite holiday is on its way. For as long as I can remember I have always loved Halloween. All the creepy crawlies, scary movies and of course the sweet treats!

Now that I am a crochet designer this holiday is even more special. So without further chit chat I would love to introduce you to the Bat Crazy Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern! I would absolutely have used its full name but I was afraid a swear word would keep this pattern from being seen, lol.

Maybe it’s just me but whenever I see a cute piece of home decor with a bad word on it it always gives me the giggles. I hope it does the same for you and serves as a fun piece of spooky decor in your home. As long as the kids cant read yet that is, lol.

As always if you need any help with the pattern please leave a comment below or send me a dm on Instagram @loveandstitchh. Happy Crocheting!

Materials

*4.50 mm Crochet Hook

Weight 4 Worsted Weight Yarn (yarn I used is listed below)

*Yarn Needle

*Scissors

Wooden Brach or *Dowel Rod

*Hand Steamer (optional)

Yarn Choice

For most of my wall hanging patterns I prefer to use a thicker and tighter spun worsted weight yarn. I feel like it gives a lot more definition to the piece and details tend to stand out more. I really don’t focus too much on the texture of the yarn because I steam every single one of my wall hangings, which softens the piece and makes it more flexible and flowy. This is especially helpful for tighter crocheters. The brands I tend to gravitate the most towards are Red Heart Super Saver, Loops & Threads Impeccable and We Crochet Brava Worsted.

For this wall hanging I used the following yarn:

-Loops & Threads Impeccable in Lavender- approx. 180 yards

-Loops & Threads Impeccable in Sunny Day- approx. 30 yards

-Loops & Threads Impeccable in Aran- approx. 30 yards

-Loops & Threads Impeccable in Black- approx. 50 yards

Color Abbreviations

L = Lavender

SD = Sunny Day

AR = Aran

B = Black

Stitch Key (US Terms)

Ch = Chain

St/sts = Stitch(es)

Sc = Single Crochet

Special Notes

-The wall hanging is worked in rows.

-The wall hanging is worked from the bottom up.

-The 1st st of each row should be placed into the same stitch as the turning chain.

-The turning chain does not count as the 1st stitch of the row.

-The pattern is written as: # of single crochet stitches (color abbreviation), example: 8 (SD) means 8 sc in Sunny Day.

-The odd rows are the right side rows. Even rows will be the wrong side.

Dimensions: 14.5 in wide x12.5 in long (not including fringe)

Gauge: 16 sts x 19 rows = 4 inch square worked in single crochet.

How to Follow a Crochet Pixel Chart

If you need some help following a crochet pixel chart or need a refresher I have a video tutorial on my YouTube Channel. Click Here or the image below to check it out.

Hanging the Project

Fasten off after Row 63 leaving a 4 foot tail.

To attach the project to a dowel rod or tree branch; using a yarn needle, weave the tail over the dowel/branch and back under into the 1st stitch on the top of the wall hanging.

Repeat for each stitch on the top of the wall hanging.

Knot off and weave in your ends.

To hang the project, drill 2 small holes on either side of the branch/dowel. Thread through both holes with cotton yarn and knot off both ends. Trim the excess yarn. (Feel free to use your preferred method of hanging the project)

Attaching the Fringe

To attach the fringe, grab 3 strands of yarn. With a crochet hook, push the hook through the far left foundation chain. Fold the 3 strands of yarn in half, looping the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook.
