Georgia Tapestry Wall Hanging – FREE Crochet Pattern
I just love handmade home decor, don’t you? It makes a great statement piece for the room. You can give it as gifts, and can rarely go wrong. I’m always looking for that unique piece that ties the room together. It can be a sculpture for a tablescape, a throw blanket for that big comfy chair, or a wall hanging for you gallery wall. Nothing is more unique and stylish than handmade home decor.

I named this wall hanging “Georgia” after an early pregnancy miscarriage I had a couple years ago. In my mind, this baby was a girly-girl named Georgia. She possesses a dainty flair. She is a fan of the finer things. When I was creating this piece, I knew I wanted something with a lot of texture! I wanted something that wasn’t too busy with color, but still caught your eye. I have always loved including cables in my designs and bobbles definitely add texture to any piece.

Special Stitches
Cable Crochet: Created by alternating rows of bpdc, fptr, bpdc, fpdc with skipping stitched to create a “cabled” look. On the WS use back-post, on the RS use front-post. See images.
- Row 1: (WS) Start with 6 bpdc
- Row 2: (RS) Skip 3 st, fptc in each of next 3 st, fptc in each of first 3 sk st
- Row 3: (WS) 6 bpdc
- Row 4: (RS) 6 fpdc
- Repeat!
If you’re more of a still visual learner, I have a neat picture tutorial for how to work up cables. Check out each step and become familiar with it before you move on to the pattern.
Bobble Stitch (bo): Created by working a cluster of 5 partial dc in the same stitch without finishing individual dc. See images.
Yarn over.
Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over.
Pull through stitch (3 loops on hook).
Yarn over and pull through 2 loops to complete 1st partial dc (2 loops on hook).
[Yarn over to start next partial dc, insert hook in SAME stitch, yarn over & pull through stitch, yarn over & pull through 2 loops to complete 2nd partial dc (3 loops on hook)]*repeat until 6 loops on hook.
With color A, yarn over and pull through all 6 loops.
- This completes 1 bobble stitch (bo), making the bobble pop out on the opposite side of your work. In this pattern all bo are followed by a hdc in between the next stitch.
Pattern Notes
When a row begins with a CH1, the ch does not count as a st.
When the row begins with a CH2 or CH3, it does count as a st.
There are 6 rows with 3 bobbles and 5 rows with 6 bobbles.
The hanging cord is optional, at times I prefer to hang it without the cord.
