• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base Panel

1. Using the charcoal yarn, make a foundation chain of 60 stitches (ch 60).
2. For Row 1, double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn your work. You should have 58 double crochets.
3. For Rows 2 to 20, chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then dc in each dc across. Turn your work at the end of each row.

2. Floral Motifs

1. Using the deep teal yarn, create a magic ring.
2. For Round 1, chain 3 (counts as your first dc), then make 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. For Round 2, chain 2, then in each stitch around, work *1 dc, ch 1*. Join with a sl st to complete the round. Fasten off the yarn.
4. Repeat the above steps to create a total of 5 flowers in deep teal and 5 flowers in dark plum.

3. Assembly

1. Arrange your floral motifs on the base panel in a scattered pattern that you find visually appealing.
2. Using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, sew each motif onto the panel securely.

4. Finishing

1. With the midnight blue yarn, crochet a border around the entire panel:
   • For Round 1, single crochet (sc) evenly around the panel, making sure to work 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape. Join with a sl st to complete the round.
2. Weave in all loose ends using your tapestry needle.
3. Finally, attach a wooden dowel to the top edge of your wall hanging for easy hanging.
