Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following supplies. Using the specified yarn weight and hook size is crucial for achieving the correct gauge and overall dimensions.

Yarn: Worsted weight cotton or cotton-blend yarn in 4 colors:
- Color A (Sand): Approximately 250 yards
- Color B (Terracotta): Approximately 150 yards
- Color C (Cream): Approximately 100 yards
- Color D (Deep Rust): Approximately 100 yards
Hook: 5.5 mm (I-9) crochet hook
Notions: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and sewing strips together, scissors
Hanging Rod: Wooden dowel or branch, approximately 18 inches long

Gauge: 4 inches = 14 stitches and 10 rows in single crochet (sc). Always check your gauge to ensure your finished piece matches the intended size.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This wall hanging is worked in five vertical strips that are joined together to create the wave pattern. Each strip is crocheted separately, then sewn together side-by-side. The bottom is finished with a fringe. The pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Strips (Make 5 Total)

You will make 5 strips in total: 2 in Color A, 1 in Color B, 1 in Color C, and 1 in Color D. The base of each strip is identical; the difference lies in the placement of the wave pattern (the chain-5 spaces).
