Groovy Bloom Wall Hanging Free Crochet Pattern - Retro Vibes

Learn to make the colorful, customizable, and retro Groovy Bloom Wall Hanging from a free crochet graph by Divine Debris.

Did you know that I haven’t published a wall hanging design since January? I know that it’s not a lot of time but they’re one of my favorite things to make and so I tend to make them a lot. The Celestial Peaks Wall Hanging was fun and colorful but I was like “what about something for Spring?” and so I designed the Groovy Bloom Wall Hanging for April.

When I sat down to design this pattern I didn’t have a clear idea in mind. I wanted something with flowers, with movement, and lots of colors but it took me a minute to figure out what exactly it could be. But after some trial and error drawing out my graph on Stitch Fiddle I finally came up with the design you see here and I’m really happy with it.

Like my other wall hangings this one is worked from the bottom up in rows of single crochets. With wall hangings, especially ones as colorful as this one, I like to use bobbins/ intarsia so I don’t have to carry yarn throughout the whole design. I just change colors on the final pull through of the stitch and carry the yarn up the back (drop it down the WS when not in use and pick it back up when I need it). It just keeps the pattern looking clearer from the front and the back stays a bit tidy but no one really sees it so who cares if it’s messy.

As I’ve said in other posts, when working with many colors like this I always make sure to turn at the end/ beginning of the row back and forth (left, then right, then left, then right) rather than in a circle (left, then left, then left) which helps me keep all my bobbins/ yarn less tangled. Although tangles can be unavoidable at times, it’s best to try though. Oh, and don’t forget to block your color work, it makes a world of difference.

Below the graph is available to view, that way if you’d like to make this as sc or hdc or dc you can do it… but you can also make it in C2C if you want to work the graph on a bias. And if you’d prefer you can knit, Tunisian crochet , and even cross stitch this design using the graph as well. It’s entirely up to you 😀 But, keeping with industry standards, if you’d like written instructions to this pattern you can pick those up in my Ravelry shop (it’s written in back and forth rows so it won’t help you with C2C). I know talking about money makes people uncomfortable but I split up these patterns this way so that people do have an incentive to pick up the pdf, it helps me to keep making patterns here on my blog. I hope you understand.

Overall, I do hope you like this week’s new pattern. It was a joy to make. Color work like this is a bit complicated but if you take your time and go slow (and change colors on the final pull through and block your finished piece) you can definitely make this. I swear, if I can do it anyone can. Thank you so much for checking out this pattern.

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by We Crochet for the purposes of designing the Groovy Bloom Wall Hanging crochet pattern, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I’ve used Brava Worsted many times for home decor, garments, and whatnot and it’s one of my favorite worsted yarns to use – especially for nearly all my wall hangings.
