If you want to have such handmade tapestry let’s knit/crochet it yourself!

You need to know how to make double knit or intarsia crochet. And if you a very very beginner, you need to practice a little, but don’t be intimidated by the new stitches and tools. It really is very simple if you already know how to knit / crochet.

If you’re interested in purchasing this crochet wall hanging pattern or any of my other patterns in a downloadable, printable PDF format, they’re available for purchase on my Payment Page below.

SIZE

Size of the tapestry depends entirely on your gauge and uses yarn.

I knitted on size US 4 needles and Drops Lima yarn.
My gauge was 19 x 22

After wet blocking hanging vertically (so tapestry was stretched a little in tall) the size was:
23 x 45 cm / 9 x 17”

COLORS:

Color 1– 1 skein;
Color 2 – 1 skein;

Designate your two colors as Color A and Color B. There is no RS or WS to your work, as it is reversible.

KNITTING

HOW TO DOUBLE KNIT
Double knitting is knitting a fabric with two stockinette sides simultaneously. On each row you are working alternating stitches from each side, knitting one and purling the other.

STICH GLOSSARY

P = Purl
K = Knit
Rnd(s) = Round(s)
Rem =Remain(ing)
st(s) = Stitch(es)
BO=Bind Off

MATERIALS:
CIRCULAR NEEDLE (40 cm / 16”) SIZE 3.5 mm/US 4
Any Aran/Worsted yarn suitable for US 3.5 (4 mm)

Cast on 46 stitches with circular needle size 3.5 mm / US 4 (or any you prefer)
A cast on of 46 means there will be actually 92 loops on the needle, 46 for each side.

Knit rnds 1 to 102 of A1, A2, A3 reading rows from right to left.

As this pattern requires a lot of attention to detail, I suggest you print out the PDF and use a row tracker or highlighter, or pencil to mark which rows you have worked on.

BO and leave a long tail.

Thread the tail through a tapestry needle and thread it around what youʼre hanging it on, then through one of your BO stitches and around the piece of wood again. Keep doing this until you have completely connected it to whatever youʼre hanging it from.
