The Cool for the Summer Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

August is right around the corner which means it is just about summerween, or whatever the kids are calling the time between July and October these days, lol. But summer is not over yet so I going to squeeze the last bit of creative juices I have left to pop out a few more summer inspired designs. With that being said let me introduce you to the Cool for the Summer Wall Hanging!

It’s been a while since I did something beach inspired and I have been loving playing around with crocheted letters lately. So why not combine 2 of my current obsession into one awesome word play crochet pattern! I have actually never seen a real palm tree in person before or rode a surf board before, but they are on my never ending bucket list.

In case you were wondering, yes that is indeed suppose to be a volcano and I based this wall hanging design heavily on the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Which are most definitely also on my bucket list. Come to think of it, its not a bad idea to work up some crochet design ideas all based around what I have on my bucket list!

Now that I have my creative side of my brain nice and stimulated, lol, I am going to leave you guys to try out the pattern for yourselves. As always if you have any questions feel free to comment below or send my 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 Branch 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:

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in White – approx. 150 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Caution – approx. 30 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Almond – approx. 10 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Marina – approx. 5 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Sky – approx. 40 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Cotton Candy – approx. 2 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Lady Slipper – approx. 2 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Brindle – approx. 5 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Clarity – approx. 2 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Peapod – approx. 30 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Alfalfa – approx. 5 yards

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 37 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.
