Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in teal, mustard, and cream
• Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches x 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Wooden dowel: for hanging (approximately 18 inches long)
• Scissors: for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot with the teal yarn. Chain 60 stitches. This will be the width of your wall hanging.
2. Row 1: Starting in the second chain from the hook, single crochet (sc) in each chain across. You should have 59 single crochet stitches. Turn your work.
3. Rows 2-10: Chain 1 to start the next row. Single crochet in each stitch across. Turn your work at the end of each row. Repeat this for a total of 9 rows, maintaining the teal yarn.
4. Change to Mustard Yarn: After completing Row 10, change to mustard yarn. Chain 1 to start Row 11. Single crochet in each stitch across. Turn your work. Repeat this for a total of 10 rows (Rows 11-20) using the mustard yarn.
5. Change to Cream Yarn: After completing Row 20, change to cream yarn. Chain 1 to start Row 21. Single crochet in each stitch across. Turn your work. Repeat this for a total of 10 rows (Rows 21-30) using the cream yarn.
6. Repeat Color Pattern: Continue repeating the color pattern (teal, mustard, cream) until your piece measures approximately 36 inches in length. Ensure to keep track of your rows for an even finish.
7. Finish the Top Edge: Once the desired length is achieved, finish with a row of slip stitches across the top edge. This will provide a neat finish and help secure your work.
8. Cut Yarn: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Use your tapestry needle to weave in all ends securely to prevent unraveling.
9. Attach to Dowel: To hang your wall hanging, take the top edge and attach it to a wooden dowel using a lark's head knot. To do this, fold the top edge over the dowel and pull the yarn through to create a loop, then pull the ends down to secure it.
