Geometric Wall Hanging

Geometric Wall Hanging by Veronika Cromwell

What is Being Made

This downloadable crochet pattern creates a decorative wall hanging composed of geometric motifs. The design features multiple shapes including circles, triangles, squares, and hexagons that can be arranged and displayed together. The finished wall hanging is suspended from a bamboo cane or dowel rod, making it an ideal piece for home decoration and interior styling.

Finished Measurements

The individual motifs are sized as follows:

• Circle: 5 cm diameter
• Triangle: 6 cm per side
• Square: 5 cm across
• Hexagon: 6 cm point to point

The bamboo cane or dowel rod support is approximately 30 cm long.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used

This intermediate-level crochet project employs several fundamental techniques and stitch types. The pattern uses magic loop construction to begin motifs, which is a popular method for creating seamless circular shapes in crochet. The primary stitches featured in this design include:

• Chain stitch (ch) – the foundational stitch used to create the base chains and chain spaces throughout the pattern
• Double crochet (dc) – a basic stitch that forms the body of the geometric shapes
• Slip stitch (ss) – used to join rounds and create seamless transitions between stitches
• Puff stitch (puff st) – a textured stitch created by repeating yarn over and pulling up loops five times before completing the stitch, adding visual interest and dimension to the motifs
• Chain space (ch-sp) – gaps created by chain stitches that allow for openwork and structured spacing within each geometric shape

The pattern uses UK crochet terminology, which differs from US crochet terms, so crafters should ensure they are working with the correct stitch definitions.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Geometric Wall Hanging is designed using Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Cotton, a 100% Pima cotton yarn that provides a soft, breathable, and durable finished product. Each ball weighs 100g and provides 200m of yardage. The pattern calls for one ball each of seven coordinating colors:

• Yarn A: Color 3718
• Yarn B: Color 3801
• Yarn C: Color 3729
• Yarn D: Color 3831
• Yarn E: Color 3743
• Yarn F: Color 3764
• Yarn G: Color 3748

The yarn weight is DK (double knitting), a medium-weight yarn that works well for creating defined geometric shapes with good stitch definition. A 4 mm (US G/6) crochet hook is used throughout the project to work with the DK weight yarn.

Additional Materials and Tools

Beyond yarn and the crochet hook, this project requires a bamboo cane or dowel rod approximately 30 cm long to serve as the hanging support for the finished motifs. A tassel maker or piece of cardboard is needed to create decorative tassels, which add a finished embellishment to the wall hanging.

Difficulty Level and Tension Notes

This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with some experience beyond basic stitches. The pattern notes that tension is not critical for this project, allowing for more flexibility in execution while still achieving the specified finished measurements. This makes it a forgiving project for those still developing consistent tension control.
