Welcome to the general information section dedicated to my tapestry crochet wall hanging patterns!

To keep my product listings light and easy to read, I have gathered on this page all the common technical elements shared by my single crochet wall creations.

All patterns in this line share an identical structure, such as the required materials, the dimensions of the crochet wall art and chart, video tutorials on the tapestry crochet technique, and written reminders about the technique. Only specific details like the colors used, the exact number of stitches per color, and the chart itself are unique to each model. You will find these details directly on the product listing for the pattern you are interested in.

Read this guide to comfortably prepare your materials for your next wall art project!

Essential supplies for making your wall hangings

To make a tapestry crochet wall hanging, you will need:

  • A crochet hook 1 to 2 sizes smaller than recommended by the manufacturer. I personally use a 3 mm hook instead of a 4 mm hook. This ensures tight stitches so the back of the work doesn’t show through.
  • A pair of scissors
  • A tapestry needle for weaving in ends
  • Cotton yarn (standard weight: 50 g = 75 m / 82 yds) OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (class I is essential for creations intended for babies and toddlers)
  • A hanging rod (a wooden dowel / driftwood for a more rustic look)
  • Stitch markers to help you keep track when working many consecutive stitches in the same color

Dimensions and format of the crochet wall art

  • Average dimensions: approximately 35 cm wide x 45 cm long (14″ x 18″) for a chart of 72 stitches x 96 rows.
  • Customization: To change the final size of your wall hanging, you can adjust the yarn weight, add a wide border around it, or attach tassels/fringes at the bottom.

Skill level and prerequisites

These patterns are intended for intermediate crocheters or passionate beginners who have mastered the basics of crochet.

Required techniques:

  • Making a foundation chain (ch)
  • Mastering single crochet (sc)
  • Making color changes
  • Knowing how to work a slip stitch (sl st)

Tips for a flawless wall hanging

  • Work with a consistent and firm tension: A wall hanging turns out best when crocheted tightly (thanks in particular to the smaller hook size, which—remember—is 1 to 2 sizes smaller than indicated on the yarn label). This ensures a clean and crisp finished look.
  • Blocking your work: Once finished, a good wet blocking is recommended to set the final shape and size of your tapestry crochet.
  • chain 1 before turning: Always chain 1 before turning your work, and always start the next row in the second stitch from the hook.
  • Add finishing touches: Adding fringes or tassels at the bottom brings a lovely boho touch to your creation.
