About This Solar System Wall Hanging Crochet Pattern

This Solar System Wall Hanging pattern is a masterpiece of crochet artistry that brings the wonders of space into your home. Each planet is crafted with attention to detail, from Jupiter's swirling bands to Earth's blue oceans and green continents. The pattern uses various yarn colors and techniques to create realistic planetary textures, while the removable Velcro system allows for interactive play and educational opportunities. The dimensional design with hemispheres gives each celestial body a three-dimensional appearance that truly brings the solar system to life.

Working with multiple yarn weights and colors, this pattern teaches advanced color-changing techniques and precise shaping. The finished piece serves as both a stunning wall decoration and an educational tool for children learning about our solar system.

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

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines my passion for crochet with my fascination for astronomy. Creating each planet feels like a mini adventure, watching them come to life stitch by stitch with their unique characteristics. The satisfaction of completing all the planets and seeing them arranged on the wall hanging is incredible. I particularly enjoy the intricate colorwork on Earth and Jupiter, and the creative challenge of adding Saturn's beaded rings. This project is perfect for crafters who want to make something truly special and meaningful, whether it's for a child's room, a classroom, or their own space-themed décor. The interactive element with removable planets makes it even more special.

Switch Things Up

I love how versatile this Solar System pattern can be with just a few creative modifications! If you want to add more educational value, consider embroidering the planet names on small fabric tags and attaching them to each celestial body. You could also scale up the entire project using bulkier yarn and larger hooks to create a more dramatic statement piece for a classroom or playroom.

For a whimsical touch, I sometimes add tiny crocheted astronauts or spacecraft that can be positioned around the planets using additional Velcro dots. Kids absolutely love being able to 'fly' their astronaut from planet to planet! You could also incorporate glow-in-the-dark yarn or paint on the stars and planets to create a magical nighttime effect.

If you want to make it more interactive, consider adding small pockets behind some planets where you can tuck educational fact cards about each celestial body. Another fun variation is creating different seasonal versions—imagine a Halloween solar system with orange and black planets, or a Christmas version with metallic and glittery yarns!

I've experimented with adding LED fairy lights behind the base fabric to create a stunning backlit effect that makes the solar system glow. Just make sure to plan for battery pack placement before assembly. You could also create individual planet mobiles instead of a wall hanging by attaching each planet to a larger circular frame with invisible thread at varying heights.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not carrying yarn properly on the wrong side when color changing, which can create loose strands and messy backs on the planets ✗ Overstuffing the planet hemispheres which causes them to lose their rounded shape and creates tension on the stitches ✗ Forgetting to leave long tails for sewing which makes assembly difficult and requires additional yarn attachments later ✗ Not marking stitch positions clearly when working in continuous spirals, leading to miscounts and misshapen planets that don't match the pattern ✗ Attaching Velcro before stuffing and sewing planets together, making it difficult to properly shape and finish each celestial body ✗ Using inconsistent tension across different planets which results in varying sizes even when following the same stitch counts

Assembly Instructions

  • Draw planet orbital paths on paper (A3 or two A4 sheets glued together) and cut along the orbit lines starting from the outermost orbit
  • Attach paper template to crocheted base and sew each orbit using back stitch with thin white cotton yarn, securing tails on wrong side
  • Embroider the Asteroid Belt between orbits 4 and 5 using beads of different colors
  • Glue or sew Velcro strips (sharp halves) or buttons at marked planet positions on the orbits
  • Sew the Sun to the base, stitching between rows 9 and 10, stuffing with fiberfill as you sew
  • Sew the Moon with wrong side out near the Earth position on the base
  • Attach wooden sticks to the loops at top, bottom, and center of the wall hanging and sew loops securely
  • Tie string, ribbon, or hanging rope to wooden stick for wall mounting, and apply glitter glue or decorative beads to imitate stars if desired

Important Notes

  • 💡Each planet requires two parts: a flat circle and a dimensional hemisphere that are sewn together after stuffing
  • 💡When color changing during hemisphere construction, carry all yarns on the wrong side to maintain neat appearance
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails on all pieces for easier sewing and secure attachment during assembly
  • 💡Pin all planets in position before sewing Velcro or snaps to ensure proper orbital placement
  • 💡Use monofilament and beading needle for Saturn and Uranus rings to create realistic planetary ring effects
  • 💡The finished size may vary (approximately 28x42cm) depending on individual crochet tension and hook size used
  • 💡Optional embellishments like embroidered stars on Mercury, glitter glue, and extra beads can enhance the cosmic theme

You ask,

we answer.

FAQs

Can I use different yarn weights for this pattern?

Yes, you can substitute yarns, but keep in mind that using different weights will change the final size of your wall hanging and planets. If you use thicker yarn, your piece will be larger, and thinner yarn will make it smaller. Just maintain consistency across all pieces for proportional planets.

How do I prevent the yarn from showing through when color changing on Earth?

The pattern instructs you to carry yarn either behind or in front of work depending on the row. Always carry unused colors on the wrong side (back) of your work and maintain even tension. You can also weave in the carried yarn as you go for extra security and to prevent any show-through.

What's the best way to attach Saturn's rings?

Use monofilament (clear fishing line) threaded on a beading needle to string beads in suitable shades. Sew the beaded ring horizontally around Saturn's equator, making sure the ring is secure but not too tight. You can add multiple strands for a more dramatic effect.

Can I use buttons instead of Velcro for attaching planets?

Absolutely! The pattern mentions both Velcro and sewing snaps as options. Buttons would work well too. Just sew one half of the button or snap to each planet's flat circle backing and the corresponding half to the base where each planet should be positioned.

How do I make the base hang straight without sagging?

Use sturdy wooden sticks or dowels (30-35cm long, 1-1.5cm diameter) as recommended. Make sure your hanging loops are evenly spaced and sewn securely. The three-loop system (top, middle, and edges) helps distribute weight evenly. You can also lightly starch the base for extra stability.

Is this pattern suitable for beginners?

This is an advanced pattern due to the color changing techniques, multiple components, and assembly required. However, a determined intermediate crocheter with some colorwork experience could successfully complete it by carefully following the detailed instructions and taking their time with each planet.
