• Other Supplies: Wooden dowel for hanging, scissors, tapestry needle for weaving in ends and sewing pieces together

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base Panel

1. With the forest green yarn, make a slip knot and chain (ch) 60.
2. Row 1: Double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across. You should have 57 dc at the end of this row.
3. Rows 2-30: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), turn your work, and dc in each stitch across the row. Repeat this for a total of 29 rows.
4. Once you complete Row 30, fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.

2. Floral Motifs

1. Using the lavender yarn, create a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as dc), then work 11 dc into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then *dc, chain 1, dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to complete the round.
4. Fasten off the lavender yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Make a total of 5 floral motifs.

3. Leafy Accents

1. With the cream yarn, chain 10.
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook, half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain, then dc in the next 5 chains, hdc in the next chain, and sc in the last chain.
3. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Make a total of 10 leafy accents.

4. Assembly

1. Arrange the floral motifs evenly across the base panel. You can place them in a straight line or in a staggered pattern for a more organic look.
2. Using the long tails from each floral motif, sew each one onto the base panel securely.
3. Position the leafy accents around each floral motif and sew them in place using the long tails as well.

5. Finishing Touches

1. Take a wooden dowel and attach it to the top of the base panel for hanging. You can sew or tie the top edge of the panel to the dowel.
2. For a decorative fringe, cut lengths of yarn in all three colors (forest green, lavender, and cream) and attach them to the bottom edge of the panel. Vary the lengths for a cascading effect.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length to complete the look.

6. Hanging

1. Cut a length of yarn and tie each end to the dowel for hanging.
2. Find the perfect spot in your home to display your beautiful wall hanging and enjoy the serene beauty it brings to your space!
