Materials Needed

• Worsted weight cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Natural
  • Mustard
  • Rust
• 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Wooden dowel (18 inches long)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base Panel

1. Using the natural yarn, make a foundation chain of 60 stitches (ch 60).
2. Row 1: Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, single crochet (sc) in each chain across. Turn your work. (You should have 59 stitches at the end of this row.)
3. Rows 2-40: Chain 1 (ch 1) to begin the next row. Single crochet in each stitch across the row. Turn your work at the end of each row. Repeat this for a total of 39 additional rows.
4. Once you have completed Row 40, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

2. Fringe

1. Cut strands of yarn measuring 12 inches in length from the natural, mustard, and rust yarns. You will need multiple strands of each color.
2. To attach the fringe to the bottom edge of the panel, take one strand, fold it in half, and pull the loop through a stitch at the bottom edge of the panel.
3. Next, pull the ends of the strand through the loop you created and pull tight to secure it. Repeat this process across the entire bottom edge, alternating colors to create a striped effect.

3. Assembly

1. To attach the top of the panel to the wooden dowel, fold the top edge of the panel over the dowel.
2. Using matching yarn, sew the folded edge in place securely to the dowel, ensuring it is evenly distributed across the length of the dowel.
3. Cut a piece of yarn measuring 24 inches. Tie each end of this piece to the dowel to create a loop for hanging your wall hanging.

4. Optional Tassels

1. If you want to add extra texture, create tassels using the same colors of yarn.
2. Attach the tassels evenly across the bottom fringe by tying them securely to the strands of fringe.

5. Finishing

1. Trim the fringe and any tassels to your desired length for a polished look.
2. To ensure your wall hanging lays flat and even, block the piece by gently stretching it into shape and allowing it to dry.

Congratulations! You have now created your very own boho wall hanging. Hang it in your favorite space and enjoy the handmade charm it brings to your home decor. Happy crocheting!
