Chakra Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

I am so excited to have this pattern finally published!!! This pattern literally came to me while I was meditating, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you! It would be a great addition to your home or yoga studio. The Chakra Wall Hanging would look great in rainbow themed room, or even as a Pride flag!

Another amazing thing about this pattern is that it’s a great stash buster! Don’t have rainbow/chakra colors?….use any colors you’d like! Make the pattern your own! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

• Color C-22 inches
• Color D-18 inches
• Color E-14 inches
• Color F-10 inches

Cut 17 strand of Color G measuring 6 inches

Add fringe one strand at a time, by folding the strand in half and adding them across the remaining single crochets that we didn’t work in, and 1 into the corner of the sc with the next color starting. (see images 1-3)

*When adding the fringe to the single crochet with the tail, bring the tail through the loop that you make for the fringe to go through along with the fringe ends. There should be 3 strands hanging from that fringe. (see image 4)

Weave in remaining ends. 

Mounting to the Wood

Using a yarn needle, stitch the top of the wall hanging around a stick of your choice. Fasten off at both ends. 

Tie a long piece of yarn to the ends of the stick to use for hanging on the wall.
