Why You'll Love This Pocket Wall Hanging Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a beautiful textured diamond stitch with a functional pocket, making a decor piece that is both pretty and practical. I enjoy how the front post treble techniques create a rich, dimensional surface that really stands out on the wall. The tassel and bead details let me add a handmade flourish that feels special and customizable. Making one of these is relaxing and rewarding — it comes together quickly but looks like a carefully crafted artisan piece.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this wall hanging by changing yarn colors and textures; swapping light grey for a warm cream or dusty pink totally alters the vibe.

I sometimes use a bulky weight yarn with a larger hook to make a chunkier, more sculptural hanging that stands out on the wall.

I also like to make a mini version using fingering or sport weight yarn for a delicate pocket perfect for small faux plants.

I often add embroidery over the diamond panel for a personalized touch, using contrasting yarn to trace simple shapes or initials.

I recommend experimenting with different dowels or branches for hanging; a driftwood stick gives a rustic look while a painted dowel feels modern.

I sometimes switch the tassel placement and use all long tassels with mixed beads to create a layered boho fringe effect.

I like to mix fibers like cotton and wool for a textured finish; cotton holds structure well while wool adds softness and loft.

I sometimes mount the pocket panel onto a lightweight backing fabric before sewing to make it sturdier for slightly heavier items.

I also enjoy adding small pockets or loops on the inside to hold tiny plant pots or tools securely without shifting the hanging.

I often change bead types and sizes; a larger wooden bead creates a focal point while multiple small beads add subtle detail.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the turning chain guidelines can cause uneven row heights and misaligned stitches; follow the Turning chain instructions exactly and do not count them as stitches. ✗ Crocheting into the wrong loop (not the back bump or BLO when instructed) will change the texture and fit of the pocket; pay close attention and work into the back bump or BLO where specified. ✗ Rushing the FPtr and FPtr2tog steps often leaves incomplete loops and loose posts; take time to follow each FPtr/FPtr2tog step and keep the yarn overs (YO) even for consistent post stitches. ✗ Failing to count stitches after increases and decreases creates row mismatches and pattern drift; count your stitches at the end of each row, especially after brackets of repeated sequences. ✗ Not trimming or leveling tassels correctly will make the fringe look uneven; measure and trim tassel ends evenly and test bead placement before knotting to achieve a balanced look.

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.

— Tassels :

Infos :

• cut 30 strands of 5.5 inch yarn, and 7 strands of 8.5 inch yarn. • use 2 strands of the 5.5 inch yarn for each tassel. There will be 15 tassels placed on every other stitch, starting in one corner. • 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. • make a tassel using one strand of the 8.5 inch yarn on top of each of the 7 center tassels you already created. • 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. • trim the remaining long strands not used in the bead to make them level with the shorter strands.

Infos :

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

Assembly Instructions

  • Fold the pocket section up to overlap the diamond pattern and align the edges before sewing.
  • Using your yarn needle, sew the two layers of the pocket together along both side edges to create the pocket opening.
  • Attach tassels along the bottom edge by inserting tassels into every other stitch; add center long tassels and thread bead strands through the bead before knotting.
  • Attach the wooden dowel to the top edge by threading yarn around the dowel and through each top stitch, then secure and weave in ends.
  • If your pocket contents are heavy, use small tacks just below the inside of the pocket to pin the hanging to the wall and hide the tacks.

Important Notes

  • 💡This pocket wall hanging is not intended for very large or heavy items; limit contents to lightweight decor or small plants.
  • 💡Fasten off and weave in all ends after finishing each section to secure your work and create a neat finish.
  • 💡When adding tassels and beads, trim and align tassel lengths before knotting to ensure a balanced, even fringe.
  • 💡Secure the hanging yarn to each end of the wooden dowel to prevent the yarn from pinching the corners of your finished work.
