This rectangular project combines rows of half double crochet with an uncomplicated fringe along the bottom. Use a natural cotton yarn and a narrow wooden dowel for a calm, modern piece suitable for a reading nook or craft room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials &amp; tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Worsted cotton yarn, approximately 100\u2013160 yards<\/li>\n\n<li>5 mm crochet hook and yarn needle<\/li>\n\n<li>A smooth wooden dowel around 14 inches (35 cm) long, scissors, and hanging cord<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Size &amp; gauge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A panel approximately 12 inches wide is a reasonable target. An initial chain of 37 gives 36 half double crochet stitches; adjust according to a gauge swatch and the space available on your dowel. Height depends on the number of worked rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-step instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chain 37 and half double crochet into the second chain and every chain across, giving 36 stitches.<\/li>\n\n<li>Chain 1, turn, and half double crochet across the next row. Continue for 22 rows, or until the panel has pleasing rectangular proportions.<\/li>\n\n<li>If you want a subtle stripe, change yarn color for rows 12\u201315, then return to the main shade.<\/li>\n\n<li>Work one row of single crochet across the top edge to make a stable hanging edge.<\/li>\n\n<li>Cut approximately 36 equal fringe strands and attach folded strands along the lower edge with lark&#8217;s-head knots, spacing them to avoid bulk.<\/li>\n\n<li>To mount the piece, stitch the top edge around a wooden dowel with a tapestry needle, securing the yarn securely at both ends.<\/li>\n\n<li>Tie a separate length of cord to the dowel ends for hanging and trim fringe to a consistent length.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finishing &amp; care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hang the textile from a securely mounted hook appropriate to your wall. Keep this purely decorative piece away from a baby&#8217;s crib or any space where loose cords can be reached by a child or pet. Dust gently or wash the textile only after removing wooden pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helpful notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uneven fringe often makes an otherwise tidy wall hanging look unsettled. Measure the strands first, attach them loosely, then trim them together after the panel hangs straight. A slim dowel looks lighter than a thick branch and fits minimalist interiors. Avoid overly bulky yarn if you want the surface stitches to remain visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make it your own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add a short row of surface slip stitches in a contrasting neutral across the center or make the fringe graduated into a shallow V shape. If you need a larger hanging, add foundation chains and rows proportionally, checking the panel does not extend beyond the supporting dowel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photography on this site is illustrative; the written instructions describe the project. Results vary with yarn, gauge, and individual technique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small fiber wall hanging introduces a handmade texture without covering an entire wall.
