About This Pocket Wall Hanging Pattern

This pattern creates a textured pocket wall hanging featuring a diamond stitch panel and a sewn-on pocket with tassel trim. You will learn front post treble techniques and how to construct a neat pocket that overlaps the diamond section. The finished piece measures approximately 8" x 17" including tassels and provides stylish storage or decor for small items.

Worked in worsted weight yarn with a 5 mm hook, the design uses back loop only rows for the pocket and post stitches for texture. Clear stitch-by-stitch instructions and tassel assembly steps are included to complete the project.

Why You'll Love This Pocket Wall Hanging Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a striking textured diamond stitch with practical pocket storage in one elegant wall piece. I enjoy how the front post treble stitches create dimension and movement that looks like macrame but is fully crocheted. The pocket construction adds a functional element that lets you display small plants or treasures while keeping walls interesting. I also appreciate how versatile the design is — you can change yarn weight, color, or tassel length to suit any decor.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this wall hanging by switching colors—try a gradient of neutrals or bold contrasting stripes.

You can make the piece larger or smaller simply by increasing or decreasing the starting chain; add or remove diamond repeats to change width.

Use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook to create a chunkier, more sculptural version that works as a statement piece.

Make a miniature version using lighter yarn and a smaller hook for a set of pocket hangings to display in a gallery wall arrangement.

I sometimes add a fabric lining inside the pocket for increased strength and to protect delicate items I place inside.

Try adding wooden beads, shells, or small crocheted flowers to the tassels for a boho or coastal look—thread them through the long tassel strands before knotting.

If you want an even cleaner edge, try blocking the finished piece gently to shape the diamond panel before attaching the pocket.

I also experiment with different hanging rods: a thin stick, a driftwood piece, or a painted dowel can totally change the finished aesthetic.

For plant safety, place a plastic liner in the pocket before adding any real plants, or use faux plants for zero maintenance.

Try alternating tassel lengths or grouping tassels in clusters to create more visual interest along the bottom edge of your wall hanging.

You can replace some of the tassels with short macrame-style knots or mini pom-poms for a playful texture mix.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the turning chain instructions can cause incorrect row starts and miscounted stitches; follow the turning chain guidance exactly and do not count turning chains as stitches. ✗ Failing to skip the required stitch after a FPtr or FPtr2tog will distort the diamond pattern; always skip the stitch as instructed before working the next sc 3. ✗ Not stopping the FPtr before completing the final stitch when instructed will leave extra loops on the hook; stop with 2 loops left and work the slip stitch finish as described. ✗ Sewing the pocket layers without aligning the diamond pattern can result in a crooked pocket edge; fold and pin the pocket section so it overlaps evenly, then sew along the edges with a yarn needle.

Info :

to make a tassel, fold the 2 strands in half. Insert your hook up through the back of the stitch and pull up a loop of the strands. Pull the ends through the loop and tighten.

Info :

make a tassel using one strand of the 8.5 inch yarn on top of each of the 7 center tassels you already created.

Info :

take one strand from each long tassel (or both if your bead is larger), and thread through the bead. Make a knot underneath the bead if you need to.

Info :

trim the remaining long strands not used in the bead to make them level with the shorter strands.

Info :

attach the dowel to the top edge by threading the yarn around the dowel and through each stitch with a yarn needle

Info :

weave in any loose ends

Info :

TIP: To keep the yarn used for hanging your finished work on the wall from pinching the corners of your work, secure the yarn to each end of the wooden dowel.

Info :

NOTES: This pocket wall hanging is not meant for very large or heavy items. If the items inside your pocket are a bit too heavy, use tacks to pin either edge of the wall hanging to the wall, placing the tacks just below the inside of the pocket to hide them. This will make the wall hanging a bit more flush with the wall and add stability.

Assembly Instructions

  • Fold the pocket section up to overlap the diamond pattern, aligning edges carefully before sewing to ensure even placement.
  • Using your yarn needle, sew the two layers of the pocket together along both side edges to create the pocket; weave in ends when finished.
  • Place 15 tassels along the bottom edge on every other stitch starting in one corner, then add an extra long-strand tassel with an 8.5 inch piece to each of the 7 center tassels and add beads if desired.
  • Attach the wooden dowel to the top edge by threading yarn around the dowel and through each top stitch with a yarn needle, then secure and weave in loose ends.
  • If pocket contents are heavy, use tacks to pin either edge of the wall hanging to the wall just below the inside of the pocket to hide the tacks and add stability.

Important Notes

  • 💡Fasten off and weave in all ends after completing the pocket and tassels to keep the piece tidy and secure.
  • 💡This pocket wall hanging is not meant for very large or heavy items; avoid overloading the pocket to prevent stretching or damage.
  • 💡If items inside the pocket are heavy, pin the edges to the wall just below the pocket to hide tacks and improve stability.
  • 💡Secure the hanging yarn to each end of the wooden dowel to prevent the corners of your work from pinching when hung.
