Inspiration:
I’ve always had a deep connection with mountains. They have an instantly calming and grounding effect on me. I wish I could say that this idea came to me on my own – BUT if I’m being honest (which I always am!) this design was inspired by YOU, a follower! I had a message come through Etsy wondering if I had more mountain theme wall hangings in the works and suggested the quote ” The mountains are calling and I must go.” After creating the You’ll Move Mountains Blanket, I knew trying to squeeze the word “mountain” on a wall hanging wouldn’t fit… unless it was HUGE. However, that little seed had been planted in my mind and I couldn’t stop thinking about how to make it work.
I originally designed the bold version but I felt like maybe it was yelling at you. Haha. So I designed the cursive version…. Then I couldn’t decide which one I loved more! After sending out a little survey to family and friends, the poll was divided. “Can you offer both?” What a fantastic idea! Why not do both?? So that’s what I did. I hope between the two styles, you find one that speaks to you!
The Yarn:
I used a combination of L&T Impeccable and Craft Smart Value for both designs. You can use any worsted weight (4) yarn that you love! An acrylic yarn is best, as it’s affordable and washes well. Get creative with your color combinations!
Cursive Font: I used Loops & Threads Impeccable in Gold & CreamBold Font: I used Craft Smart Value in Clay and Loops & Threads Impeccable in Cream.

Tapestry crochet is done using the basic single crochet stitch, and a technique of holding 2 strands of yarn. The tutorial below will walk you through all the basics while you make a little tree sampler! If this is your first time trying tapestry crochet, I highly recommend making the tree sampler first. This will give you some practice with holding both strands of yarn and getting your tension right before starting a large project.

Scissors
Darning needle
Spray Bottle
Pins
Foam mat
Gauge:
15 stitches x 15 rows = 4 inch square in SC
Size:
Designed to be oversized – Measuring at approximately 70 x 21 inches – One size fits most.

I hope you enjoy these patterns!! Don’t forget to tag me on social media when you make them – I love to see my patterns being enjoyed!
We are all a little weird, and life’s a little weird. And when when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.
Dr. Seuss
Inspiration:
The inspiration for this wall hanging was my sisters recent wedding. I wish for everyone to be able to find that special soul that loves them truly. The one that never thinks you are “too much”. The one that loves your dance moves, your terrible jokes, your enthusiastic stories. Maybe you’ve already found them? Stitch this for the wonderful weirdo in your life!
The Yarn:
For this design (and most of my tapestry patterns) I’m using Loops & Threads Impeccable. I love to use an affordable, stiffer yarn for my wall hangings. We want the tapestry to hold its shape for months/years on the wall, so save that fancy, gorgeous draping yarn for a garment! I like to stitch mine in black and white to showcase the design but please feel free to use any creative color combinations you like! The Impeccable line has SO MANY beautiful colors to choose from. Comparable yarns for substitutions include:
Red Heart Super Saver
Big Twist Value
Phentex Worsted
Bernat Super Value

Pattern Instructions
CH62 with MC (I suggest going up .5mm hook size just for the chain)
**Start working over your contrast color from the first row to the last row. This will ensure an even look throughout the project.**
← Row 73 [RS]: [MC] 61.Cut contrast yarn. Move on to border.
Border
[MC]: CH1, 1/4 turn so that you are working down the left side – *1SC in each row, (SC, CH1, SC) in corner, 1SC in each ST*. Repeat until you’ve reached starting point. 1SC in CH1 space, SLST to next ST. Tie off. Weave ends.
Blocking
Wet block work by misting with water on both sides until damp, then pin in place according to finished measurements. Leave in place until dry. You can speed up the process if you have a fan to run beside it.
Attaching stick / dowel
With RS facing, join two stands of yarn at top right corner. Pull up a big loop and insert your stick.Insert hook into next stitch, yarn over.Pull through stitch.Pull the loops up taller than the stick.Remove your hook.Slide loops over stick, then pull snug but not too tight. Repeat for each stitch, sliding stick along as you go.
Add Fringe (Optional)
With WS facing, insert hook from back to front.With fringe folded in half, pull up a loop.Remove hook, grab yarn with your fingers and pull through. Pull snug. Alternate using one, then two pieces of fringe to keep it from getting crowded/looking to sparse.If you want to shape the fringe, I recommend using masking tape to help hold your yarn as you cut. I chose a triangle shape but this is a great chance to get creative!
Add a Hanger
RS – Cut 4 pieces of yarn to approx. 24 inches or your desired length. Make a slip knot over one end and pull snug, tie a knot. Repeat with second side.WS – You could put a dab of hot glue or cut/file a notch behind where your hanger string sits, so it doesn’t squeeze your work in from the sides.
I would love if you tag me in your photos, so I can see your finished projects! I do a little happy dance each time I see you enjoying one of my patterns!

Today’s pattern release is extra special because its a DOUBLE pattern release! You’ll get both the ‘Wild Moon’ & ‘Stay Wild Moon Child’ wall hanging patterns. I designed them to be the same size so you could hang them side by side as a statement piece, stagger them, or hang them separately! From the nursery to the living room, these wall hangings will be the perfect addition to any moon lovers decor!
Inspiration:
This series of patterns was created for one of my dear friends. She’s a fellow Moon Child and a wildly creative soul. She’s one of the people that the universe placed in my path at the perfect time. If you think you can’t find real friendships through social media – you’re wrong! We originally bonded over the fact that we were both artists, then we found out that we were pregnant just 6 weeks apart. When we met for the first time, everyone around us thought we had been friends for years because the connection was so instant. Her birthday is coming up and when I think of her, I think of the moon. After I showed her the first design (Wild Moon) – she suggested making a second one the exact same size – then they could hang over her bed like a headboard! I loved the idea and the challenge was accepted! The Stay Wild Moon Child design was born!
The Yarn:
For the both these designs (and most of my other tapestry patterns) I’m using Loops & Threads Impeccable. I love to use an affordable, stiff yarn for my wall hangings. We want the tapestry to hold its shape for months/years on the wall, so save that fancy, gorgeous draping yarn for a garment!

On Wednesdays we wear pink. You can’t sit with us.
We have all experienced cliques at some point in our lives. Be it in high school, The Cool Moms group (you know the one), or in the workplace. They exist. Often with cliques I find that your worth is determined by your stature and what you have to offer rather than who you are or how you contribute.
If people were able to set aside their differences and focus on working together, how different a place the world would be. A sentence that we have all heard but sometimes rarely think about. The notion behind “being exclusive” is only really fun for those on the inside. For the rest of us looking in, we are left feeling like we have to have that or we are missing out.
That is where the idea of sharing this pattern with you all came from. This pattern was initially created to be featured in Kristy’s KYC Yarn Party Crochet Subscription Box. We worked together on this idea until it was something we both loved. Together we decided that by sharing it here in this form it would give us the ability to focus on community rather than competition. The people over profits mentality can build up not just one or two businesses but also all those who benefit. It takes it from an idea to a reality. It turns it into potential; a gift for a friend, that missing piece of decor for a nursery or perfect background for your office plant.
So much of life is focused on what we can do to get ourselves ahead, sometimes at the expense of tearing others down. We get much further building each other up if we take the time to focus on truly loving our neighbor and being a good human. The simplest thing can change someone’s whole day, a compliment, a smile; sharing a pattern. While it may not be in the same capacity as those who ordered the subscription box, it is still a labor of love from us to you. Our gift to you. After all, no one wants to be excluded.

Diamond Daze 2 in White & Orchid Mist
Pattern Instructions – Diamond Daze 2
CH22 with MC
**Start working over your contrast color from the first stitch.**
Cut yarn. Weave ends. Move on to blocking section.
Blocking
Wet block work by misting with water on both sides until damp, then pin in place according to finished measurements. Leave in place until dry. You can speed up the process if you have a fan to run beside it. Or follow along with the video below.
Attach to stick / dowel
With RS facing, join two stands of yarn at top right corner. Pull up a big loop and insert your stick.Insert hook into next stitch, yarn over.Pull through stitch.Pull the loops up taller than the stick.Remove your hook.Slide loops over stick, then pull snug but not too tight. Repeat for each stitch, sliding stick along as you go.
Add Fringe (Optional)
With WS facing, insert hook from back to front.With fringe folded in half, pull up a loop.Remove hook, grab yarn with your fingers and pull through. Pull snug. Alternate using one, then two pieces of fringe to keep it from getting crowded/looking to sparse.If you want to shape the fringe, I recommend using masking tape to help hold your yarn as you cut. I chose a triangle shape but this is a great chance to get creative!
Add a Hanger
RS – Cut 2 pieces of yarn to approx. 18 inches or your desired length. Make a slip knot over one end and pull snug, tie a knot. Repeat with second side.WS – You could put a dab of hot glue or cut/file a notch behind where your hanger string sits, so it doesn’t squeeze your work in from the sides.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these free tapestry wall hanging patterns! I can’t wait to see all your beautiful creations! Make sure to tag me on social media so I can swoon over your work and share with my followers!
How many times have you listened to a song and you’ve been taken back to a moment? How many times has it brought back a memory you might have otherwise forgotten? Few things have the ability to anchor you to a moment the way music does. For me, this is where the inspiration for this pattern comes from.
It comes from the carefree summer days spent cruising through the mountains with my best friend. We would drive through the sunshine, singing at the top of our lungs, nothing existing outside of that moment. These lyrics, while untraditional in the ways of nursery rhymes, have always been a favorite to sing to my daughter. I hope that one day she hears this song and that she is brought back. Back to the sunbeams, back to the story in our laps; back to me rocking her. I hope she remembers the safety of my arms and the simplicity of this moment. How beautiful happy is.
If this song isn’t one of your favorites, that’s alright. The words are a gentle reminder that our babies are only little for a short while. Read them one more story. Rock them a little while longer. Sing them one more song. Time travel exists, every moment has a soundtrack of its own. Don’t skip yours, let it play.
The Yarn:
When making a wall hanging, I like to use a cheap, stiff yarn. I find it really helps the project hold its shape. For this pattern, I used less than one skein each (285y/260m) of Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn in colors: White & Black. The Impeccable line has SO MANY great color options, the combinations are endless! Other comparable yarns to use would be, Red Heart Super Saver, Bernat Super Value, or Big Twist Value. Of course, you can always substitute any worsted weight (4) yarn of your choice, it may just have a different drape when completed.
Materials:
> 570 yards, worsted weight ( 4 ) yarn. I used 2 skeins, Loops and Threads Impeccable, 4.5 oz/127.5 gm, 285 yds/260 m, in colors:
1 White [MC] & 1 Black [CC] (or your preferred color choices.)
US Size 7 Crochet Hook (4.5 mm)
Scissors
Darning Needle
Dowel / Stick
Measuring Tape
Spray Bottle
Pins
Foam Mat
Skill Level:
Advance Beginner / Intermediate
Size:
16 x 20 inches (without fringe)
Gauge:
15.5 stitches x 15.5 rows = 4″ square in SC
*Not super important for this project.*
Stitches / Abbreviations Used:
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
SLST – Sip Stitch
ST(S) – Stitch(es)
RS – Right Side
WS – Wrong Side
MC – Main Color
CC – Contrast Color
Approx – Approximately
Notes:
All stitches are done in SC using the tapestry crochet technique of carrying two strands of yarn.
Turn your work at the end of each row.
CH1 at the beginning of each row. (Does not count as a ST)
TIP: The PDF comes with a chart to follow along!
Changing Colors:
Insert your hook into the last stitch for that color, pull up a loop.Then with second color, yarn over.Pull through both loops to complete the stitch. You are now ready to use your second color.
RS & WS
When working RS, bring contrast color around to back to crochet over.When working WS, bring contrast colour up front of work to crochet over.

Row 68 [WS]: (MC) x 59 ← Row 69 [RS]: (MC) x 59. Cut contrast yarn. Move on to border.
Border
(MC): CH1, 1/4 turn so that you are working down the left side – *1SC in each row, (SC, CH1, SC) in corner, 1SC in each ST*. Repeat until you’ve reached starting point. 1SC in CH1 space, SLST to next ST. Tie off. Weave ends.
Blocking
Wet block work by misting with water on both sides until damp, then pin in place according to finished measurements. Leave in place until dry. You can speed up the process if you have a fan to run beside it.
Attaching a stick / dowel
With RS facing, join two stands of yarn at top right corner. Pull up a big loop and insert your stick.Insert hook into next stitch, yarn over.Pull through stitch.Pull the loops up taller than the stick.Remove your hook.Slide loops over stick, then pull snug but not too tight. Repeat for each stitch, sliding stick along as you go.
Add Fringe (Optional)
With WS facing, insert hook from back to front.With fringe folded in half, pull up a loop.Remove hook, grab yarn with your fingers and pull through. Pull snug. Alternate using one, then two pieces of fringe to keep it from getting crowded/looking to sparse.If you want to shape the fringe, I recommend using masking tape to help hold your yarn as you cut. I chose a triangle shape but this is a great chance to get creative!
Add a hanger
RS – Cut 4 pieces of yarn to approx. 24 inches or your desired length. Make a slip knot over one end and pull snug, tie a knot. Repeat with second side.WS – You could put a dab of hot glue or cut/file a notch behind where your hanger string sits, so it doesn’t squeeze your work in from the sides.
I truly hope you have enjoyed this pattern. I would love if you tag me in your photos, so I can see your finished projects! I do a little happy dance each time I see you enjoying one of my patterns!
