Notes:

Finished White wall hanging is approximately  9.5 inches x 15 inches

Finished Red wall hanging is approximately 9 inches x 15 inches – not including tassels

Gauge –  15 double crochet stitches x 9 rows = 4 inches x 4 inches.

· This pattern uses filet crochet. With this technique you can either follow the written pattern or the chart provided.

· If you follow the chart please be aware that each block of the chart represents one stitch. Each white block is one double crochet. Each black block is a chain.

· The CH2 at the beginning of each row counts as a stitch throughout this pattern. I feel like the CH2 gives a nicer finish at the edge. If you prefer you can substitute this for a CH3 instead.

· Your last stitch is worked into the top of the CH2 from the previous row. It can help to mark this stitch with stitch markers to help locate it.

· If working from the chart all odd numbers are read right to left and even rows are read left to right.

· When working the border, you may want to mark your corner stitches with a stitch marker.

· This wall hanging can be worked in any yarn weight using the appropriate or preferred hook size for that weight but amounts of yarn will vary from what is stated in the pattern and you may need to change the size of the wooden dowel rod used.

· There is also a shorthand version of the written pattern if you prefer this. The pattern is written in a series of numbers and commas. The number represents how many stitches to work and each comma is the CH1, SK1. For example, 2 , 3 , 2 is DC2, CH1, SK1, DC3, CH1, SK1, DC2.

For the White wall hanging continue as follows.

Do not fasten off.

Border:

Rnd 1: CH1 (does not count as a st), turn work 90 degrees, (work 2 SC around each st along the side. Along to bottom, work 2 SC in the first st marking the first SC made with a stitch marker. SC in every st across, working 2 SC in the last st. Mark your second SC made with stitch marker) twice. Slst to the first st.

Rnd 2: CH5, on your 5^th CH pull the loop up and remove your hook, Attach the green yarn with a slst in the next st. CH5, on your 5^th CH pull the loop up and remove your hook, Attach the red yarn with a slst in the next st. CH5, on your 5^th CH pull the loop up and remove your hook.

Insert your hook back into the white loop. SC in the st after the red CH. CH5, on your 5^th CH pull the loop up and remove the hook.

Insert your hook back into the green loop. SC in the st after the white CH. CH5, on your 5^th CH pull the loop up and remove your hook.

Insert your hook into the red loop. SC in the st after the green CH. CH5, on your 5^th CH pull the loop up and remove your hook.

This forms the repeat pattern for your border.

When you get to the first corner (marked by a stitch marker) work the SC for all 3 colours in the same st. This will allow your border to turn the corner with out curling your work.

Continue along the bottom of the wall hanging working through the pattern repeats until the next corner. Work in the same way as the first corner, working the SC for all 3 colour in the same st.

Work the repeating pattern up the last side. When you reach the top right hand corner. Fasten off the red and green.

Continue with the white to attach the wall hanging to the wooden dowel rod.

CH1, (does not count as a st) SC into every st working the st around the rod. At the end of the row CH50 and slst to the first st of the row to create the hanger.

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

If you find the border has made your wall hanging a little wavy blocking it will help.

For the Red wall hanging continue as follows.

Do not fasten off.

CH1, (does not count as a st) SC in every st working the st around the rod. At the end of the row CH50 and slst to the first st of the row to create the hanger.

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

Tassels:

Cut 39 lengths of yarn approximately 40cm. This will create a tassel length of 20cm. If you prefer a longer tassel cut 50 or 60cm lengths instead. You can then trim your tassels to the desired length.

To attach a tassel, with right side of your work facing up, insert your crochet hook into the first st along the bottom of your wall hanging. Fold a length of yarn around the hook and pull the loop through. Insert your thumb and finger into the loop, ensuring the two ends are equal in length, pull through the loop. Pull tight and your tassel is attached.

Repeat this for every st along the bottom. You may wish to steam your tassels, so they are straight before you trim them. I used a steamer to straighten mine and trimmed into a point.

Pompoms: Using your pompom maker make 3 pompoms. Trim and attach to the bottom left corner and weave in the ends.
