Wall Hanging Assembly

Right sides facing, lay the pockets right side facing up, on the right side of the fabric. Starting from the right side of the top part of the pockets, sc the two layers together down the sides, sc 2 in the corner, sc along the bottom part of both pieces, sc 2 in the second corner, sc up the left side of these pieces. If you prefer, you can sew the sides instead of sc.

Count 20 sts from the left side of the pocket fabric, place a stitch marker, count 20 more, place another marker. To create pockets – sew from the marker down to the bottom of the piece. You can also create just 2 pockets – then you will need to count 30 sts from the left side of the pocket fabric to the middle of it and sew that way.

Attaching the dowels

Place the dowel in the middle of the top part of the wall hanging – make sure it’s well centered (especially if you are using a “rough” stick) since the sts won’t move around. Insert your hook into the first st, yarn over and wrap it around the dowel, sc this way across. Weave in all the ends.

Here is a good video on that by Teresa of DeBrosse:

To attach the dowel with rings – use the needle. Insert the needle in the first st, wrap around the dowel, place 1-2 rings on the dowel (depending how many you would like to have total), insert the needle into the next st, and keep going this way till the very end of the piece. Weave in all the ends.

Clip Holders (Optional)

Make as many holders as you would like.

Style 1: Chain the length from the top of the piece till the pockets, tie it to the top.

Style 2: Cut 12 strands of yarn and braid them until the braid reached the pockets, secure both ends and tie to the top dowel.

Style 3: Crochet a basic cord, my favorite cord is this one:

Ch 2, insert your hook into the back loop of the second ch from the hook, sc, rotate your work and insert the hook going from top to bottom into the vertical bar on the back, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull up a loop again, now rate your work and you will see two horizontal bars, insert your hook through both of them, pull up a loop, yo, pull through both loops. Keep working this way till the length reaches the pockets of the wall hanging. Tie this holder to the top dowel.
