Boho Knit Wall Hanging
Hello Friends! It’s Dani, the designer, and blogger behind Danii’s Ways & CJ Design
Today’s pattern is the perfect home decor for all of you Boho style lovers!
In this tutorial/pattern I will show you how to knit this beautiful wall hanging.
This pattern is actually beginner-friendly, so if you are a complete newbie to knit, this will be a good opportunity to learn a few new stitches.
This pattern is worked from the bottom-up, then we attach it to the wooden dowel, and last but not least we add the fringes.
This is a very simple project. If you are a newbie at knitting, this project would be ideal for you!
This Boho Wall Hanging is made with two simple, yet very pretty, stitches.
Stitches you should know:
- Cast on
- Knit
Materials:
- Cotton yarn (I used Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton)
- No. 10 (6 mm) knitting needles with 48″ cord – Art. No 3016/48-10
- Tapestry Needle – Art. No 219
- Scissors – Art. No 493/CW
- Tassel Maker (Small) – Art. No 9940
- Wooden Dowel

Pattern
Let’s begin with the triangle. If you don’t want to have a triangle at the bottom you can make it straight instead. Just start casting on 30 stitches.
If you are doing the triangle follow the pattern:
Row 1: Cast on 1 and place it onto your left needle.
Row 2: Increase 1 (increase by knitting into the front and the back of your stitch) (2)
Row 3: K, Inc (3)
Row 4: K, Inc, K (4)
Row 5-30: Repeat row 4 until you have 30 stitches on your needles.
Once you’re done your 30 rows, we will now continue working without increases; straight to the top
Note: If you’d like your wall hanging to be wider, go ahead and continue increasing until you reach the desired width. If you are doing it straight, cast on more than 30 st.
Now onto the simple lace stitch. Knit the first stitch, wrap the yarn around the right needle twice, then knit again, then wrap the yarn around twice (or yarn over twice), and continue doing this.
You will notice that you have a bunch of stitches on your needles. Don’t worry, we will be eliminating those stitches in the next row and you should have the same 30 initial stitches that you started with.
In the following row, knit the first stitch, then you will drop or undo those two “yarn over” fake stitches that we made. That is how we create those very long laces.
Continue doing this until you have the same 30 stitches that you had initially and all those extra/fake stitches have been dropped.
Note: The more “Yarn over” that you make, the longer the lace will be, so let’s say you wrap the yarn around 3 times instead of 2, your lace will be much longer 🙂
Now I will leave you the pattern exactly how I made it, the exact amount of times I wrapped the yarn around, and the number of garter rows I made in between laces.
If you want your wall hanging to have the same dimensions and look exactly the same as mine, then knit the following:
After finishing the triangle:
– K1, yarn over twice. Repeat
– 4 Rows of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over once. Repeat
– 2 Row of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over twice. Repeat
– 2 Rows of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over twice. Repeat
– 4 Rows of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over twice. Repeat
– 2 Row of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over once. Repeat
– 2 Rows of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over twice. Repeat
– 2 Row of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over twice. Repeat
– 2 Rows of garter stitch
– K1, yarn over 3 times. Repeat
– 10 Rows of garter stitch
Once you have done it, we will be passing the stitches onto the dowel. To do this I will be using a crochet hook (you don’t have to but I think this is a little bit easier).
Start grabbing your stitch as if you were knitting (with the crochet hook) and passing it onto the dowel. Continue doing these until all the stitches are now on the dowel.
Make sure not to do it extremely tight as this will make it really hard for you to move the stitches and accommodate them in the middle.
Now all you have to do is cut the yarn and weave in the end.
You can leave your wall hanging like that or you can add fringes! I love fringes as much as I love tassels and pompoms! They are the perfect touch and I personally think they give it the “Boho” look.
To do the fringes, I will be using the Clover Tassel Maker. This tool is really cool and allows you to make them very quick and even. This is another tip; you can use the tassel maker not just to make tassels, but fringes as well!
Adjust the size depending on the desired length of the fringes. Mine is set in the middle.
Watch the video tutorial to see exactly how I made them.
When you are done with the fringes, it’s time to attach them to your wall hanging. I used a crochet hook to make this process easier.
And that’s it! Voi-láh! You have now a beautiful Boho-style knitted wall hanging to decorate your home!
I hope you enjoyed it. If you make this project please tag me on social media, I would LOVE to see your final product!
