Hey Everyone! I’m back and with a new free wall hanging pattern! To no surprise at all, this pattern continues on with the lunar theme I’ve been pretty much obsessed with for the past month or so (hope you aren’t sick of the theme yet :)) This pattern is actually inspired by my most recent full sized wall hanging pattern release, The Moon Ridge Wall Hanging. I am so in love with the pattern and I knew I wanted to make a smaller and similar version to be able to offer for free and my blog! To purchase the full size Moon Ridge Wall Hanging pattern click here! The Rolling Hills Wall Hanging pattern is slightly different to the Moon Ridge with the addition of the sun. I had so much fun creating this pattern. I hope you all love it as much as I do. Also, feel free to get creative with the color story! Happy Crocheting!

You’re welcome to save it using my Pinterest pin by clicking here or the image below! You can purchase the inexpensive Printable PDF on Etsy here! The PDF includes the complete step-by-step pattern so you can follow along on paper, highlighting and making notes as needed. It is a total of 8 pages including the front and back cover pages. I’ve also included a PDF download of the chart for this pattern. Materials *5.00 mm Crochet Hook Weight 4 Worsted Weight Yarn (yarn I used listed below) Dowel Rod or Tree Branch *Yarn Needle *Scissors Yarn Choice For most of my wall hanging patterns I prefer to use a thicker and tighter spun worsted weight yarn. I feel like it gives a lot more definition to the piece and details tend to stand out more. I really don’t focus too much on the texture of the yarn because I steam every single one of my wall hangings, which softens the piece and makes it more flexible and flowy. This is especially helpful for tighter crocheters. The brands I tend to gravitate the most towards are Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound and Loops & Threads Impeccable. *KNITCRATE: Get 1 free crate (you pay shipping) and 1 item in the shop for 20% off when you use my code LOVEANDSTITCH at checkout at knitcrate.com. For this wall hanging I used the following yarn: Craftsmart Value (Michaels) in Clay Craftsmart Value (Michaels) in Ginger Loops & Threads Impeccable in Soft Taupe Loops & Threads Impeccable in Putty Loops & Threads Impeccable in Gold Loops & Threads Impeccable in Aran Loops & Thread Impeccable in Claret Stitch Key (US Terms) Ch = Chain St/sts = Stitch(es) Sc = Single Crochet Color Abbreviations C = Claret Cl = Clay G = Ginger S = Soft Taupe P = Putty Go = Gold A = Aran Special Notes -The wall hanging is worked in rows. -The wall hanging is worked from the bottom up. -The 1st st of each row should be placed into the same stitch as the turning chain. -The turning chain does not count as the 1st stitch of the row. -The wall hanging is worked in single crochet. -The pattern is written as: # of single crochet stitches (color abbreviation), example: 8(G) means 8 sc in the color ginger. Dimensions: 9 inches wide x 11 inches long (not including fringe) Gauge: Not necessary for this pattern. To learn how I do a seamless color change click here!

Here is the free online version for you to use. CH 35 in Claret Row 1: sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each ch across. Ch 1, turn. (34) For a cleaner edge, sc in the back hump of the chain.

You will need 3 strands of yarn to complete 1 fringe. To attach the fringe, grab 3 strands of yarn. Use a crochet hook to push through the far left foundation chain. Fold 3 strands in half and loop the middle of the strands onto the crochet hook and pull the loop of strands through the chain about 2 inches. Fold the strands through the loop. Tighten to create the fringe. Repeat for every other foundation chain. Trim the fringe to your preferred length. Hanging the Project To attach the project to the dowel rod or tree branch: using a yarn needle, weave the tail over the dowel/branch and back under into the 1st st on top of the wall hanging. Repeat for each stitch on the top of the wall hanging. Knot off and weave in your ends. To hang the project, drill 2 small holes on either side of the piece. Thread through both holes with cotton yarn and knot off both ends. Trim excess yarn. (feel free to use your preferred method of hanging the project) ENJOY!
