The Retro Valentine Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

Whose ready for the next addition to the retro wall hanging series? Introducing the Retro Valentine Wall Hanging pattern! A little retro, a little valentine-y. The perfect match, but I’m biased so I will leave that up to you guys.

What I love most about these retro wall hangings is that they are great for beginners to practice their color changing skills without looking like a beginner project. New to color changing or even crochet all together? Would have never guessed if you pulled this adorable project out of your stash?

Its also a great weekend project if your looking for something that you don’t want to spend too much time on. Where are my fellow lazy girlies at? Can’t stomach the thought of crocheting a whole blanket but need to fill your crochet fix? I’m your girl! Any who, I think you have heard just about enough from me so hows about we get into the pattern. Happy Crocheting!

Materials

*4.50 mm 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:

-Loops & Threads Impeccable in Peach – approx. 120 yards

-Loops & Thread Impeccable in Red – approx. 120 yards

Stitch Key (US Terms)

Ch = Chain

St/sts = Stitch(es)

Sc = Single Crochet

Color Abbreviations

PP = Peach Pink

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 (PP) means 8 sc in Peach Pink.

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

Dimensions: 12 inches wide x 11 inches long (not including fringe)

Gauge: 14 sts x 19 rows = 4 inch square worked in single crochet

Fasten off after Row 55 leaving a 3 foot tail.

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.

Fold 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 the top of the wall hanging, switching colors halfway through if you would like to mirror my design.

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!
