FAQ
What yarn is best for a crochet wall hanging?
Cotton gives crisp stitches and hangs straight, so it is a top pick for boho pieces. Acrylic is cheap and comes in lots of colors. Super bulky yarn and T-shirt yarn work up fast for big pieces. Since a wall hanging is not worn, you can use any fiber you like.
How do I hang a crochet wall hanging?
Most patterns are worked onto a wooden dowel or a branch. Tie a length of yarn to each end of the dowel and hang it from a small nail. Mandalas go inside an embroidery hoop or on a metal ring, which you can hang straight from a nail.
How do I keep the fringe neat?
Lay the piece flat, comb the fringe with your fingers, and trim it with sharp scissors along a ruler. For cotton, a light spray of water helps it hang straight. Trim again after a day if any strands relax and look uneven.
Pick a pattern, grab a dowel, and give that empty wall some handmade charm.
