Tiered Colorblock Wall Hanging – Latch Hook Pattern

June 20, 2018 2 Comments

Even beginner crafters can make their own chic wall hanging with latch hook! Get the free pattern for this Tiered Colorblock Wall Hanging.
Latch hook is a great craft for a few reasons. 1. It’s an awesome way to use up your yarn ends and scrap yarn (hello, knitters & crocheters!). 2. You can make any project as quick and simple or as epic and ginormous and crazy as you like! 3. It’s a craft that’s accessible to so many folks, regardless of age (latch hook is famous for its kid-friendliness) or skill level. You can learn to latch hook very quickly, even if you’re not a super crafty person.

Today, we’re sharing a pattern for a basic latch hook wall hanging featuring three kinds of yarn cut into different lengths. The varying lengths and textures result in a visually interesting finished project that adds some color and whimsy to your home decor.

Tiered Colorblock Wall Hanging Pattern

Supplies
an 8″x8″ square of 3.75-mesh (approx. 4 squares per inch) rug canvas
latch hook tool
sturdy scissors
ruler
yarn in 3 colors and 3 weights (There’s more yarn information below.)
fishing line/sturdy yarn for finishing & hanging
0.125″ dowel cut to 12″ in length
tapestry needle

Yarn preparation information
You can absolutely use whatever yarn colors, styles, combinations, etc. to customize the look of your finished latch hook project. Or you can follow the exact method outlined below if you like!

  • For this design, the Color A (red) section is worked with three strands of Berroco Folio yarn cut into 4″ lengths & held together. (The coloway pictured is called Bailey.) You cut this thinner yarn into 4″ lengths, but hold three strands together as one to for each stitch of this latch hook pattern.
  • The Color B (blue) section is worked with one strand of Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in the Tidal colorway, cut into 6″ lengths.
  • The Color C (yellow) section is worked with Berroco Macro yarn in the Snowy Owl Eyes colorway, cut into 8″ lengths and split in half. You cut this bulky yarn into 8″ lengths and pull them apart into two pieces before latching them onto your rug canvas.

Pattern chart
Using a latch hook tool and standard latch hook stitch (here’s a tutorial if you’re new to latch hook), attach your yarn to your rug canvas according to the following chart. Don’t forget to center your latch hook work on the canvas, leaving a minimum of a 1″ border of unused rug canvas around all sides of your work for finishing.

Finishing
Finish the back of your project according to these directions. To prepare your wall hanging for, well, hanging, you can use a whip stitch to sew your 12″ long dowel to the top of your hanging. After that, simply tie an additional piece of string around the dowel, just left and just right of your latch hook canvas. With that, your Tiered Colorblock Wall Hanging is complete!

    I have wanted to do this for a long time and yes I saw the clown pillow rug hooking kit. I love the hangings with different lengths of yarn and textures. The green hanging pictured is so beautiful with great detail to dimension. My question is, are there patterns already produced that you can buy and then buy rug yarns. I do not want something that you can buy at Michaels and would love to create these beautiful pieces.

      To my knowledge, my own latch hook book is the only currently-available place to buy standalone latch hook patterns intentionally NOT designed to be sold as kits like those at big box stores. Sorry for the plug, but I feel your pain. That’s why I wrote my book to be about patterns, not the equivalent of a yarn paint by number project (looking at you cliche clown kits!). I have lots of thoughts and feelings about the availability of latch hook anything these days, lol! Here’s my book if you’re curious: https://bit.ly/latchhookbook

      Yours in yarn,
      Heidi 😊

“You’re telling me words can be pronounced in “You’re telling me words can be pronounced in different ways and mean the same things?!” 👀 Posting this here, just to make it clear: when anyone says skayne, skeen, or skyne, it can be safely assumed we’re talking about a bundle o’ yarn,  a SKEIN. It’s not necessary to shame someone for using a word that is known to have MULTIPLE common pronunciations. 🧶

Can you plz comment sharing how you say SKEIN and where you learned it? The OED happens to say SKAYNE, but it’s not a personal attack if someone says SKEEN and you say SKYNE or even Saskatoon. I’m legitimately curious. We don’t all knit or crochet the same way, and craft evolves a bit like language - it is passed on. There is so much value in having conversations about & embracing these variations! ✌🏻

Here’s the latest mediocre-but-improving result of my slow quest to learn to set vintage inspired curls. 💇🏼‍♀️ I’m hoping to be able to wash my hair less using a regular vintage set, but we’ll see if it ends up being practical. 😆 Hair frustrates me so much more than crafts!
