Alpha Wall Hanging

Start your wall hanging by crocheting a rectangle in Tunisian simple stitch, then add textured embellishments like cross-stitch, pom-poms, and playful fringe. A wooden dowel and hanging loop finish things off so you can display your new art in your sweetest spaces. This wall hanging pattern offers you a whole appliqué alphabet to choose from.

This will ensure that you have strong contrast and that your chosen initial stands out from the background.
