Materials Needed

• 3 skeins of super bulky (size 6) chunky yarn in different earthy neutral colors: taupe, beige, and cream
• US size 15 (10mm) knitting needles
• 1 wooden dowel (24 inches long)
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using the first color, taupe. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Rows 1-4: Knit all stitches for four rows. This creates a garter stitch that will form the top of your wall hanging.
3. Rows 5-12: Switch to stockinette stitch. To do this, knit all stitches on the right side (the side facing you) and purl all stitches on the wrong side (the side facing away). Continue this pattern for a total of 8 rows.
4. Rows 13-16: Change to the second color, beige. Continue in stockinette stitch for four more rows.
5. Rows 17-24: Now switch to the third color, cream. Again, continue in stockinette stitch for eight rows.
6. Rows 25-28: Return to the first color, taupe, and knit all stitches for four rows to create another garter stitch section.
7. Bind Off: Once you have completed your rows, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
8. Weave in Ends: Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your wall hanging a clean finish.
9. Attach to Dowel: Fold over the top edge of your knitted piece and sew it securely to the wooden dowel using matching yarn. This will create a neat finish and allow you to hang your wall hanging easily.
10. Add Tassels or Fringe (Optional): For an extra boho flair, you can create tassels or fringe at the bottom edge of your wall hanging using leftover yarn. Cut several lengths of yarn, tie them together, and attach them to the bottom edge for added texture.

Your finished wall hanging should measure approximately 20 inches wide by 30 inches long, showcasing a beautiful blend of taupe, beige, and cream. The alternating textures of garter and stockinette stitches create a subtle striped pattern, while the chunky yarn gives it a plush, inviting feel. Hang it in your favorite space and enjoy your handcrafted decor!
