Materials

The materials you will need for a crochet wall hanging can vary depending on the pattern and the size of the project, but here are some general supplies you will need:

1. Yarn:  For wall hangings, the most popular is a Worsted/Aran weight yarn, as it will create a thicker and more substantial finished product.  For mandala designs or appliques, cotton thread is often used.
2. Crochet Hook: You will need a crochet hook in a size appropriate for your yarn. This information can be found in the pattern.
3. Scissors: A pair of scissors will be necessary for cutting the yarn.
4. Tapestry Needle: You will need a tapestry needle to weave in the ends of your project.
5. Dowel Rod or Branch: Depending on the design of your wall hanging, you may need a dowel rod or a branch to hang your project from. This will be used to create the top of the wall hanging, which will be attached to a hook or nail on the wall.
6. Hoop, Wooden/Metal Rings or Wire.  This will be used by mandala patterns to attach your design.  Wire can be used to strengthen the finished project.
7. Optional Embellishments: You may want to add embellishments to your wall hanging, such as beads, feathers, or tassels. These can be added during or after the crocheting process.
