Finishing the Wall Hanging

Fringes

Cut several strands of yarn to approximately 30 cm in length. Insert your crochet hook through the stitch from the back side of your work, fold 1 strand in half, and pull it through using the hook. Then, pull the 2 short ends through the loop you just created and pull tight.

Use a needle to string a wooden bead onto both strands. Tie a knot below the bead. I spaced out the fringes with beads by skipping one stitch between each placement. If you leave out the beads, you can add a fringe to every stitch.

Now, it’s time to unravel the strands, a bit of a task, but worth the effort! I used a very thin crochet hook to pull apart the strands and then separated them individually. You can also try using a comb or a brush.

Blocking

To enhance the stitch definition, I blocked my wall hanging by pinning it onto a yoga mat and misting it with water using a spray bottle. I also sprayed the fringes and brushed them through gently. Then, I let everything dry completely.

Once dry, gently comb or brush the fringes again and trim them to an even length.

Stick

My wooden stick measures approximately 54 cm (21 inches). Lay it along the top edge of your crochet work and secure it by sewing around it using the remaining yarn, skipping one stitch each time. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

For the hanging cord, I opted for a simple yet secure method. I folded a long strand of yarn in half, knotted it around one side of the stick, then repeated the process on the other side. A final knot, cut the yarn and it’s ready to hang!
