Is This Crochet Wall Swag Beginner-Friendly?
If you know how to crochet a simple granny square, you can make this boho wall hanging with ease! The cacti multicolored design is created with granny square and half granny square motifs. What’s crucial here is the strategic use of colors and proper block placement.
Once you have all pieces ready, you join them together using whip stitches. Then you can finish your wall hanging with a playful tassel fringe by pulling the yarn through the loops along the bottom edge.
Which Colors Work Best For A Desert-Inspired Look?
The designer used brown, green, lime, yellow, cream, and fuchsia colors to create this beautiful colorwork design. If you want your wall hanging to be the same size, be sure to choose worsted-weight yarn and a 5 crochet hook. You will also need a wooden dowel that you can buy at Walmart or Michaels.
Does The Wall Swag Need Blocking?
If you want to make sure that your finished project has a nice, neat look, consider blocking your square piece before joining them together. For this, soak them in lukewarm water for 15 minutes. After that, you can pin them down to a blocking mat or a piece of cardboard. This method helps even out the stitches and will improve the shape of your squares.
