• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
• Wooden dowel: For hanging the wall hanging

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the charcoal gray yarn, cast on 80 stitches onto your knitting needle.
2. Create a Border:
   • Rows 1-10: Knit every row to create a sturdy garter stitch border.
3. Begin Colorwork:
   • Rows 11-20: Switch to deep forest green yarn. Knit one row, then purl one row to create stockinette stitch.
   • Rows 21-30: Change to midnight blue yarn and continue in stockinette stitch.
   • Rows 31-40: Switch to burgundy yarn and keep knitting in stockinette stitch.
   • Rows 41-50: Return to charcoal gray yarn and knit in garter stitch for a contrasting stripe.
4. Repeat Color Sections:
   • Rows 51-60: Repeat the deep forest green section (Rows 11-20).
   • Rows 61-70: Repeat the midnight blue section (Rows 21-30).
   • Rows 71-80: Repeat the burgundy section (Rows 31-40).
5. Finish with Border:
   • Rows 81-90: End with charcoal gray yarn in garter stitch.
6. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches using the charcoal gray yarn. Make sure to keep it loose for a nice edge.
7. Finishing Touches:
   • Weave in all loose ends using the tapestry needle.
   • Attach the top edge of the wall hanging to a wooden dowel. You can do this by using a simple overhand knot or a slip stitch for a rustic finish.
8. Hanging: Use a piece of yarn or twine to create a loop for hanging the dowel on the wall. Make sure it’s secure so your beautiful wall hanging can be displayed proudly!

The finished wall hanging will measure approximately 20 inches wide by 30 inches long, featuring horizontal stripes in a moody color palette. The combination of smooth stockinette stitch and the bumpy texture of garter stitch creates visual interest and depth, while the natural wooden dowel adds to its rustic, cottagecore charm.
