Boho Chic Aztec Crochet Wall Hanging by Nihal Salem

Hey Lovely makers! I am so happy to be part of this lovely community! 

I am Nihal Salem from Topknotch Crochet. I have been crocheting for almost 17 years. My journey with crochet started when my grandmother taught me the very basics of knitting and crochet when I was 10 years old. Then I went on and learned to read patterns and crochet new stitches mainly from crochet bloggers who shared their beautiful work and tips online on their blogs and YouTube channels!! 


In addition to my love of doing things with my hand, my addiction to progress is what makes me love crochet this much. I love to see the transformation of a ball of yarn to a piece of crochet cloth to finally an adorable dress, a scarf or many other possible creations. 


One of my goals is to inspire others to create things with their hands to experience the satisfying sense of accomplishment when they finish a crochet piece as well as the therapeutic effects as they work on it!


That's why when I started designing my own patterns, I started my blog, to share my creations with this lovely online makers community!

Because I love the idea of inspiring people to make things with their hands the exact same way I was inspired by other people who shared their work, tips, tutorials and patterns online!


I design a lot of things in different categories like baby and adult wearables as well as bags , but my favorite thing to design and crochet is home decor! If you enter my room you will find tons of crochet pillows, baskets and wall hangings! I actually shared a whole room makeover using mainly crochet on my blog. You can check it here if you wish!

Notes


I recommend that you use a cotton acrylic blend yarn that is not too stiff. Or any type of cotton sport yarn that has a little bit of elasticity.

Finally I recommend that for Color A and B you use colors that doesn’t have too much contrast so that you don’t have a dark shadow under your base. and if you want to create contrast you can use color C for that. The same way I did with my wall hanging.

Finishing

Work one last row of single crochet on the side edges of the wall hanging (one sc in each row)

Attach your wall hanging to the wooden dowel as you see


The last step is to make some Decorative Tassels (you can check how I made mine here) and attach it to the bottom edge! 


I hope you enjoyed making this crochet wall hanging pattern. If you made one, share it with me on Instagram. I would love to see how you adapted it and what variations you made!
