About This Solar System Wall Hanging Decor Pattern

This pattern teaches you to crochet a wall hanging decorated with detachable crocheted planets inspired by the solar system. You will make a rectangular base in back-and-forth rows, then crochet each planet as a circle and matching hemisphere. The pattern includes detailed color-change instructions, bead and Velcro attachment tips, and finishing notes for mounting on wooden sticks.

Suitable for intermediate crocheters comfortable with amigurumi techniques and working in rounds and rows. All planets include a circle and hemisphere part plus instructions for securing with Velcro or glue.

Why You'll Love This Solar System Wall Hanging Decor Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple crochet stitches into a playful, educational wall hanging that sparks curiosity. I enjoy mixing small-scale amigurumi planets with a larger textile background to create a striking contrast. The project uses fine cotton yarns and small hooks, which lets me practice precision and color-work in a fun context. Seeing the finished hanging on a wall makes me proud — it feels like a miniature handmade universe.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this wall hanging by changing yarn colors; try pastel palettes for a nursery-friendly look or bright contrasting colors for a playful decor piece.

If you want larger planets, I often use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook to scale up sizes while keeping the same round/row counts for a chunkier effect.

To make mini keychain versions, switch to thinner thread and a smaller hook and omit Velcro, finishing planets completely closed and attaching a keyring.

I sometimes add embroidered details or felt appliques for continents and cloud bands instead of carrying yarns to the wrong side — this gives a flatter, more illustrative look.

For a more realistic solar system display, vary bead sizes and colors for the asteroid cluster area and scatter tiny seed beads densely to mimic a star field.

Consider making a matching garland by crocheting smaller planets and stringing them on a cord to hang across a wall or window.

If you want the planets permanently attached, sew them directly to the base instead of using Velcro, which is better for wall-only pieces rather than play objects.

I sometimes add a backing fabric or felt to the base for extra stiffness and tidy edges; glue or stitch the backing to the wrong side before adding loops.

Try adding battery-operated LED fairy lights stitched behind the base to create a glowing starfield; stitch carefully so the lights sit flat against the fabric.

For a mixed-media version, swap the wooden sticks for painted dowels or driftwood to match your room’s aesthetic and create a more organic hanging style.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the turning chain when working hemispheres can distort row counts; always start each row with the stated turning chain to maintain shape. ✗ Not carrying color yarns on the wrong side will create messy fronts and loose strands; carry and secure unused yarns neatly on the wrong side as instructed. ✗ Forgetting to leave long tails for sewing can make assembly difficult; cut yarn with a generous tail and secure ends for easy stitching. ✗ Overstuffing hemispheres and spheres results in a deformed planet shape; add stuffing gradually and shape as you go for a smooth finish. ✗ Neglecting to test the wooden stick diameter with the crocheted loops can lead to tight or loose loops; try the stick and adjust loop rows before sewing.

— The base :

Info :

Work in back and forth rows with a 3.0 mm crochet hook. Begin each row with a turning chain.

Round 1 :

Chain 65, start working in the 3rd chain from hook: 1. 63 sc, turn (63)

Round 2-107 :

1 t-ch, 63 sc, turn (63)

Info :

The finished wall hanging using the materials stated in this pattern is 28*42 cm. (The width and size could be different due to the different crochet density.)

Info :

To attach the crocheted piece to your branch/wooden stick, you will need to crochet the loops. We need to make three loops from above, below, in the center, and on the edges.

Round 1 (loops) :

If you use the wooden stick of a similar diameter, then work as follows: 1. 9 sc, turn (9)

Round 2-11 (loops) :

1 t-ch, 9 sc, turn (9)

Info :

Leave a long yarn tail for sewing. If you use the branch of a different diameter, then make the required number of rows. Try on if needed. Do not sew now. Complete assembling the base.

Assembly Instructions

  • Put some stuffing material into each hemisphere and sew the hemisphere and circle parts together using the long tails left for sewing.
  • Glue or sew a soft half of a round Velcro to the inside of each planet circle and attach the matching Velcro piece to the base where you want the planet to sit (I glued the soft half and glued the sharp half to the base).
  • Crochet three loops on the top and three loops on the bottom of the base for sliding wooden sticks through; leave long tails and sew loops securely after checking the stick diameter.
  • String beads on monofilament for Uranus vertical ring and for Saturn horizontal ring and sew the beaded ring to the planet before stuffing and closing the parts.
  • Pin placements for planets and decorative beads onto the base to determine composition, then sew or glue beads and secure planets with Velcro or sewing snaps as preferred.

Important Notes

  • 💡Carry yarns on the wrong side when changing colors to keep the right side neat and avoid long loose tails.
  • 💡Begin each hemisphere row with the stated turning chain and follow the hold-yarn BEHIND/IN FRONT instructions for color placement.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails for sewing circles and hemispheres together to make assembly easier and neater.
  • 💡Test the wooden stick diameter with the crocheted loops and adjust loop rows as needed before sewing loops in place.
  • 💡Use beads and monofilament carefully and secure bead rings well so they do not come loose during handling.

This Solar System wall hanging makes a whimsical, educational decor piece that brightens any room and sparks imagination. The set of crocheted planets is tactile, colorful, and detachable for play or display. Finished with beaded rings and Velcro-fastened planets, it is both decorative and interactive. 🌟🪐🧶

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The finished wall hanging using the specified materials measures approximately 28 x 42 cm, though size may vary with crochet tension and yarn choice.

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can use different yarn weights but this will affect the finished size; adjust hook size accordingly and make a gauge swatch to estimate final dimensions.

Do I need prior crochet experience for this pattern?

This pattern is rated intermediate and assumes you are comfortable working in continuous rounds, basic increases/decreases, and simple color changes.

How are the planets attached to the base?

Planets are secured using round Velcro pieces (hook and loop) which can be glued or sewn; alternatively you may use sewing snaps to attach them to the base.

What tools are needed for the planet rings?

You will need monofilament, a beading needle, and small beads to make rings for Uranus and Saturn; sew the bead string to the planet as instructed.
