Crochet Heart Wall Hanging Tutorial
The tutorial below for crocheting heart wall hanging has loads of tips for intermediates like stuff lightly to avoid overly chubby shapes, and attaching them. The tutor suggests being careful while weaving the hearts to ensure an even surface and recommends leaving a portion open to insert the stuffing.
Another helpful tip from the tutor is to use a longer strip of yarn for the chain, starting from the tied-up end rather than the loose end, to make the process easier. This wall hanging can be used as a lovely home decor item or a thoughtful handmade gift. So, don't miss following the below step-by-step tutorial. The following are the important highlights of the tutorial:
- Starting the Weaving: The heart starts with 5 stitches on each side, and they are woven together using a single crochet. Be careful to leave an unstitched portion for stuffing later. The crocheter has probably used a previous version of her flat crocheted hearts and does not provide that pattern in the tutorial. Make sure to check that out!
- Filling the Heart: Fill the heart with stuffing. Ensure not to overstuff, which can make the heart too bulky. After filling, continue weaving the remaining edges.
- Adding Design Details: Adds decorative stitching around the heart's edges by performing a slip stitch in each stitch, forming a neat edge design.
- Joining Multiple Hearts: Three hearts are tied together with yarn. They are stacked, and yarn is threaded through each heart to connect them securely.
- Creating the Hanging Loop: A chain of 60 stitches is created to form a loop for hanging. The chain begins from the tied section rather than loose ends for easier management.
- Making Tassels: At the bottom of the wall hanging, tassels are made by wrapping yarn around a box 15 times, tying them off, and trimming for a finished look.
- Finishing Touches: All loose ends are weaved in, and the final piece is neatly finished, ready to hang.
