About This Pocket Wall Hanging Pattern
Perfect for displaying in your entryway, bedroom, or office, this wall hanging combines style with function. The wooden dowel hanging system and decorative bead-adorned tassels add finishing touches that elevate this from simple storage to a true statement piece.
Why You'll Love This Pocket Wall Hanging Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it takes your crochet skills to the next level with front post treble crochet techniques that create such a stunning visual impact. The diamond stitch pattern looks incredibly complex, but once you get into the rhythm, it becomes almost meditative to work. What I really appreciate is how this project serves double dutyβit's not just beautiful wall art, it's genuinely useful for organizing those little things that always seem to get lost. The combination of texture, tassels, and that sweet little bead detail makes every finished piece feel special and unique. Plus, there's something so satisfying about working with just one color of yarn and watching such an intricate pattern emerge from simple stitches.
Switch Things Up
I love experimenting with different yarn colors to completely transform the look of this wall hanging. Instead of the classic light grey, I've tried deep burgundy for a rich, autumn vibe, or soft sage green for a fresh, botanical feel. You could even work the diamond section in one color and switch to a contrasting shade for the pocket to really make it pop.
For a more textured look, I sometimes use a variegated or self-striping yarn that creates gentle color transitions throughout the diamond pattern. The geometric design really shows off color changes beautifully. Another fun variation is to add small embroidered details or appliques to the pocket frontβlittle flowers, leaves, or even a monogram make it feel extra special.
If you want to go bigger, try using bulkier yarn with a larger hook to create a statement piece that fills more wall space. I've also experimented with adding multiple pockets by creating several pocket sections and sewing them at different heights, which is perfect for organizing different categories of items.
The tassels offer endless customization tooβinstead of the bead detail, you could add wooden rings, colorful beads in a pattern, or even small charms. Some makers skip the tassels entirely and add macrame fringe or pom-poms for a playful twist. The beauty of this pattern is that the foundation technique stays the same while your creativity makes each piece uniquely yours.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
β Skipping stitches incorrectly after completing FPtr or FPtr2tog stitches, which throws off the diamond pattern alignment throughout the piece
β Forgetting to work into the back loop only during pocket rows, resulting in a pocket that doesn't fold properly or lies flat
β Not counting turning chains correctly or accidentally counting them as stitches, causing stitch count errors that accumulate over rows
β Pulling front post stitches too tight or too loose, creating uneven diamond shapes and distorting the overall geometric texture pattern
