This project has been on my to-do list for years now, and I could never seem to get it designed and out before Star Wars Day. (May 4th)

This year is the year! I was so pleased with how it turned out. It was fun choosing all the colors and I hope you enjoy that part of your project.

I wanted it to have an Andy Warhol-esque look to it, so pink and yellow were a must. I started with way more colors to decided a pared-down version looked better.

The pattern includes 4 graphs with the different color changes, and also includes helpful color tips to help you decide when to drop or carry the colors, and of course how to put the wall hanging together.

Because the wall hanging is made up of squares, you can also take the individual squares and make other projects like tote bags, wash cloths, or even a full blanket!

Can’t wait to see your creativity!

Every spring and summer I try really hard to work ahead and get a bunch of winter and fall designs finished. AND every spring and summer I can’t make myself do it! I can’t pull myself away from crocheting fun summer projects.

This cute Beach Please summer crochet wall hanging has been on my to-do list since last year. I originally wanted to use an ombre yarn that melted softly between 4 beachy colors, but I could not find yarn with the right colors. I decided to ditch the ombre idea and go with a bit more retro look of chunky stripes. Now I was able to choose my own palette!
These colors are exactly what I was hoping for: warm colors that are reminiscent of a lazy, summer sunset and cool colors that look like tropical ocean waters.

I have used Dishie, a yarn by WeCrochet, in a few projects before, so it popped into my mind when I was brainstorming yarns for this project. Dishie is 100% cotton, which is really great for wall hangings. I like using cotton because I love the matte look it has; it also doesn’t give or stretch, which is perfect for the longevity of decor projects.
The colors I chose were Conch, Creme Brûlée, Mint, and Kenai, with Linen as the neutral tan color.

I really liked working this project, it includes a bit of colorwork that creates the words, but then it has the ease of simple sc for the chunky stripes. The graph part is simple colorwork and only alternates between 2 colors, so this is perfect for advanced beginners.

WALL HANGING:

  1. Begin with Kenai. Work a ch-less sc foundation of 40 sts. Turn. (40 sts)

2. – 13. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Cut Kenai. Join Mint.

14. – 26. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Cut Mint. Join Linen.

27. – 50. Work graph. Treat each square as a sc. Turn after each row. Begin each round with a ch 1. Work using Linen and Kenai.


Cut Linen and Kenai. Join Creme Brûlée.

51. – 63. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Cut Creme Brûlée. Join Conch.

64. – 76. Ch 1. Sc in each st across. Turn. (40 sts)
Tie off.
You can choose to weave in ends, but this piece has a right and wrong side, so you can choose to simply knot some of the ends on the back to keep them out of the way.

CONSTRUCTION:

From here, I recommend you block your wall hanging before attaching it to a dowel. The colorwork section may pull in a bit at the sides, so blocking it will help the edges remain clean and straight.

I use a Blockz All, handcrafted by Chetnanigans. Spritz with water before blocking to ensure a lasting effect.

From here, you can add two little tassels in the bottom corners (or add fringe across the bottom)

Then, string a long-ish length of Conch yarn on a darning needle. Work a cast-over stitch across the top row and around your dowel, attaching the fabric to the dowel. Cut another length of yarn, tie both ends to either end of the dowels to hang it from.

I’ve been gluten-free (not by choice) for about 2 years now. Ah, I miss donuts. My kids love them and have requested them for birthdays in leu of cake a few times.
Donuts are such a lovely dessert because they are both delicious and darn adorable.

Even though I can’t eat donuts (the GF ones just aren’t the same), I can still enjoy their cute aesthetic! These crochet donut coasters are a cute way to add faux-sugary, whimsical fun to your decor.

When looking through my stash, I knew I wanted to use Shine for these coasters. It’s one of my very favorite cotton yarns. For one, Shine has a color palette of 300 colors so it usually has exactly what I need. It also has a luxurious silky sheen and soft feel to it that I adore. It’s blended with Modal all-natural beechwood fiber.

I decided to go with classic flavors colors: Cream, Blush and Coffee. I also found a slightly lighter brown called Thicket in my stash after I took this photo so I used that one too. I have dark chocolate and milk chocolate!

Where can you get this fabulously silky and soft cotton yarn? At WeCrochet! Not only do they have a vast array of affordable everyday yarns, fabulous and gorgeous dyed yarns and luxurious fiber yarns, they also have crochet-specific accessories! You need to check out WeCrochet!

These crochet donuts were pretty fun to decorate. At first I thought it would be neat to use those long barrel-shaped seed beads as sprinkles, but the ones I had were too tiny and I couldn’t fit my needle through the hole.

I scrapped that idea and decided to simply sew on the sprinkle shapes with yarn. I tried both yarn and embroidery thread and they both turned out great. You can decide which look you prefer and go with it.

I also decided to make these crochet donut coasters double-layered. I like my coasters to be substantial, but you are welcome to make yours with just one layer. Simply skip making the second layer and go straight to attaching the icing to the one layer.

CROCHET DONUT COASTERS – CROCHET PATTERN

What you need:
– 4 mm Hook
– 2 Skeins of WeCrochet Shine Worsted in Willow; 1 skein of Blush, Coffee, Cream (or other icing colors you would like)
– Embroidery thread or contrasting yarn for sprinkles
– Darning needle
– Hot Glue (optional)

CONSTRUCTION:

Place the crochet donut halves wrong sides together, with the attached half on the back. Pull the loop through the top layer. Sl st all around the outside, sewing the two donut halves together. Tie off.

Using the long tail you began with, hand sew around the inside hole, sewing the two layers together. Tie off.



Next, add the sprinkles or toppings to the icing pieces. I liked the look of both embroidery thread and yarn, so just choose which one you prefer. Simply sew in and out in a random pattern so it looks like sprinkles.

You can also mix it up with different colored yarns to have rainbow sprinkles!


I tried sewing a line that looks like a frosting drizzle! To do this a bit more authentically, make sure the line looks like the drizzle goes across the hole and back, instead of zig-zagging up one side of the hole and down the other.

Once your icing pieces are decorated, you can attach them to your crochet donuts. You can use your long tail to sew them on, or you can weave in all your ends and simply hot glue it in place. I used hot glue and its worked perfectly.
For best results, glue around the inside hole first, then work your way around the outside of the icing, putting your glue as close to the outside as possible without it squishing out. Use small lines of glue or even dot shapes all around the outside.
