This free crochet wall hanging pattern is the fourth and final entry, at least for now, into the “To the Point” series.
Sometimes you just need a four-letter word to really tell the world how you feel #shrug. This entire series was created with that in mind!
Hell isn’t a personal favorite of mine. But I know lots of you out there use this one plenty often enough 🙂 So this is for you my friends!
I had such a blast designing this series!! And I hope you have a hell of a good time WIP’ing it up!

You’ll see this called Intarsia in the video, but I have since learned that, after all this time of doing this thing, this method is actually called Fair Isle.
Intarsia is specifically where you would use a separate bobbin for each and every section where the color changes (using the video’s example, the H, I, ! and Background would all have a separate bobbin in Intarsia. Where Fair Isle, the colors are carried across the wrong side of the work.

Materials
Yarn -
-
- (A) Lion Brand – Comfy Cotton Blend(50% cotton, 50% polyester; 392y/358m; 7oz/200g): Whipped Cream, 1/3 skein/122y
- (B) Lion Brand – Ice Cream Cotton Blend (53% acrylic, 47% cotton; 225y/206m; 3.5oz/100g): Orange, 1/5 skein/25y
Hook -
-
- 4.5mm/#7 – Clover Soft Touch are one of my favorites!
Notions -
-
- Yarn Needle
- 12″ length of 1/2″ dowel rod, preferably a smooth one
- Extra length of yarn in color of choice to create hanger
Gauge
Using US #7 (4.5 mm) and yarn (A) 15 single crochet stitches and 17 rows = 4”
Why gauge? If you want your piece to fit on the 12″ dowel rod, gauge matters. If you are fine with needing to cut a larger/smaller dowel, then it matters less.
Sizes
Finished size of tapestry itself – 10″ x 14″
Abbreviations
beg – beginning
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
hdc – half-double crochet
rep – repeat
RS – right side
sc – single crochet
sl st(s) – slip stitch(es)
sp(s) – space(s)
st(s) – stitch(es)
tc – triple crochet
WS – wrong side
Pattern Notes
- Try playing with different size yarn and corresponding hooks to achieve different tapestry sizes, just remember you’ll have to adjust the dowel rod to match
- Ch at beg of row counts as 1st stitch, unless noted otherwise, throughout entire pattern.
- Graph is worked in single crochet.
Special Stitches
Crossed Triple Crochet (ctc) – sk1, tc, cross hook behind tc just created, insert hook into previously skipped st from front to back, work another tc into skipped st

Finishing
Hanging Cord
Choose a color, I prefer to use the same color as the background, but you do you. We’re going to create a cord using a simple crocheted chain.
Leave a generous tail at the beginning and end of this piece, it will be used to help secure the cord to the dowel in the final step. I like to leave about 18in.
ch 10, sl st in first ch, ch 70, sl st in tenth ch from hook, fasten off.
You should have a long chain with a loop and a long tail at each end. See 1st photo on Page 8 for visual.
Block
Sew in those ends and then BLOCK IT with the main piece (not including the hanging loops/tube) measuring around 10″ x 14″
I know, I know, blocking is no fun. But blocking can mean the difference between a nice rectangular flat piece and a wall hanging that looks like it belongs in a fun house. Block it damn it! Love you <3
I find that I prefer steam blocking for these pieces, it dries faster. BE CAREFUL with steam if you go with an acrylic yarn, overheating acrylic will “kill it” making it super shiny and drapey (totally a real word right? Right.) Unless, of course, that’s the look you want, then kill away 🙂
These are the mats I use and I love them!
Thread Dowel Rod
Thread the dowel rod through the loops/tube at the top of the piece. You may need to bust out a bit of sandpaper if the dowel is not smooth and the threads catch. Don’t have sandpaper? Try a nail file to at least smooth out the worst spots.
Now high five yourself because you're done my friend!
Now share your amazingness with the world!
