The Groovy Ghost Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

Hi Again Everyone!

It is officially the most wonderful time of the year, aka Fall/Halloween. All the spooks and chills, it feels like my soul is getting a restart. Along with a change in season it is also time for a change in pattern design themes. Introducing The Groovy Ghost Wall Hanging!

As much as I love dark and spooky, this fun and colorful ghost pattern is such a vibe. I have been loving mixing the spooky with the fun, so much so that I also made a punch needle version of this pattern. Technically the crochet pattern was made from the punch needle design.

What do you prefer? Dark and Spooky or Fun and Creepy? I fall somewhere in the middle. Either way you could totally change the colors of the pattern to fit your preference. Let those creative juices flow and have a little fun with it. With that being said 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 Sky-approx. 60 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Clarity-approx. 60 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in White-approx. 40 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Caution-approx. 5 yards

-We Crochet Brava Worsted in Black-approx. 5 yards

Special Notes

-The wall hanging is worked in rows.

-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 (S) means 8 sc in Sky.

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

Dimensions: 7 inches wide x 7 inches long (not including fringe)

Attaching the Fringe

To create the fringe cut 12 inch pieces of yarn in Sky. You will need 3 strands to complete 1 fringe.

To attach the fringe, grab 3 strands of yarn in White. 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.

Fold the strands through the loop.

Tighten to create the fringe.

Repeat for every other foundation chain.

Hanging the Project

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 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)

ENJOY!
