Turn a blank wall into a garden. All it takes is yarn, needles, and ten satisfying hours.
This wall hanging stops people in their tracks. A sunny yellow background. Two bold green flowers with a trailing stem. Three full tassels swinging from the bottom. It looks like something you'd spot in a design shop and pay a lot for. But you made it yourself ā and that makes it better. The finished piece measures 10" tall and 9" wide, hangs from a wooden peg, and looks right at home in any room that needs a handmade touch.
Why You'll Love This Pattern
ā You'll learn to combine knitting with embroidery ā two skills in one project. The background is knit in the round in stockinette. Then you add the flower design by embroidering directly onto the fabric using a color chart and your tapestry needle. It's a genuinely new skill set, and the result looks far more involved than it actually is.
ā The chart does the hard work for you. The flower design is laid out as a clear grid chart ā you follow the squares row by row. No guessing, no freestyle. The chart is included in the pattern with step-by-step photos guiding you through the embroidery process from start to finish.
ā Pure cotton yarn means a crisp, long-lasting result. Eco Cotton is 100% cotton ā it holds its shape, photographs beautifully, and blocks flat with ease. The finished tapestry won't stretch or sag on the wall over time.
Perfect For
ā Advanced knitters ready for a show-stopping home decor piece. You know your way around circular needles and you're comfortable working from a chart. This pattern gives you something worthy of those skills ā a finished piece you'll actually want to display.
ā Anyone who wants handmade art on their walls. This isn't a pattern you tuck in a drawer. It goes straight on the wall. It's a great way to bring handmade style into your home without a single nail or frame.
ā A meaningful, one-of-a-kind gift. Handmade wall art says something that a store-bought gift never can. This tapestry is the kind of thing someone keeps and talks about for years.

Bonus Tips Check your gauge before casting on ā the finished size depends on it. When working the embroidery, keep your tension relaxed so the stitches sit on top of the fabric rather than pulling it. Work the embroidery in good light so you can clearly follow each square on the chart. Blocking makes a big difference with this project ā a quick soak and a flat dry gives you clean edges and a smooth surface. Try swapping the color palette for a completely different mood: cream and rust, navy and pale pink, or black and white all work with the same design.
