Why You'll Love This Pocket Wall Hanging Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it teaches you the beautiful diamond stitch technique while creating something genuinely useful for your home. The combination of decorative texture and practical storage makes this project so rewarding to complete. I find the rhythm of the front post treble stitches meditative once you get the hang of them, and watching those diamond shapes emerge row by row is incredibly satisfying. The finishing touches with the tassels and bead give it such a professional, boutique look that you'll be proud to display or gift. Plus, having a stylish spot to stash your essentials near the door or by your workspace just makes daily life a little easier and prettier.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color in this pattern to completely transform its look and feel! Try using a variegated or self-striping yarn to watch the diamond pattern come alive with color transitions, or work in bold jewel tones like deep teal or burgundy for a more dramatic statement piece. You could also create an ombre effect by gradually changing yarn shades every few rows throughout the diamond section.

For a more personalized touch, I sometimes add embroidery details to the front of the pocket using contrasting colors - simple flowers, initials, or geometric shapes work beautifully. The back loop only rows create perfect little valleys that make surface stitching incredibly easy and neat.

Another fun variation I enjoy is making the pocket section in a contrasting color or pattern. You could work it in stripes, add a simple border in a accent color, or even work a different texture stitch while maintaining the same stitch count. The diamond section and pocket don't have to match perfectly to look cohesive and intentional.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to skip stitches after working FPtr or FPtr2tog before the next set of single crochets, which throws off the diamond pattern alignment ✗ Not working into the correct rows when creating front post stitches, causing the diamonds to appear uneven or misshapen throughout the design ✗ Pulling front post treble stitches too tight or leaving them too loose, resulting in diamonds that don't have uniform shape and texture ✗ Missing the transition to back loop only stitches when starting the pocket section, which affects the folding line and pocket structure ✗ Incorrectly counting stitches during increase rounds in the pocket, leading to a pocket that doesn't lay flat or align properly with edges

To make a tassel, fold the 2 strands in half. Insert your hook up through the back of the stitch and pull up a loop of the strands. Pull the ends through the loop and tighten

Step 4 :

Make a tassel using one strand of the 8.5 inch yarn on top of each of the 7 center tassels you already created

Step 5 :

Take one strand from each long tassel (or both if your bead is larger), and thread through the bead. Make a knot underneath the bead if you need to

Step 6 :

Trim the remaining long strands not used in the bead to make them level with the shorter strands

Assembly Instructions

  • Fasten off the pocket section after completing row 67 and weave in all loose ends with your yarn needle
  • Fold the pocket section upward to overlap with the diamond stitch pattern section, aligning the edges carefully
  • Using your yarn needle and matching yarn, sew the two layers together along both side edges to create the pocket opening
  • Fasten off and weave in all remaining ends securely on the wrong side of the work
  • Attach the wooden dowel to the top edge by threading yarn around the dowel and through each stitch across the top row
  • To prevent corners from pinching, secure the hanging yarn to each end of the wooden dowel before hanging on wall
  • If needed for heavier items, use small tacks below the pocket edge to pin the wall hanging flush against the wall for added stability

Important Notes

  • 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout the project, especially during front post stitches to ensure even diamond shapes

FAQs

What is the diamond stitch and is it difficult to learn?

The diamond stitch uses front post treble crochet techniques to create raised diamond shapes on the fabric surface. While it looks complex, it becomes intuitive once you understand the pattern of working around posts from previous rows. Practice the FPtr technique on a small swatch first and follow the pattern carefully for best results.

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?

Yes, but your finished dimensions will change accordingly. If using a different weight, adjust your hook size to match the yarn weight and work a gauge swatch first. Lighter weight yarns will create a smaller, more delicate piece while heavier yarns will make it larger and sturdier.

How do I know where to work the front post stitches?

The pattern specifies which row to work into for each front post stitch. Always work around the post of stitches from two rows below your current row. The key is following the established diamond pattern and remembering to skip a stitch after each front post stitch before working your single crochets.

What size items can the pocket hold?

The pocket is designed for lightweight, small items like keys, mail, pens, small craft supplies, or remotes. It measures approximately 8 inches wide and can accommodate items that weigh up to a few ounces. For heavier items, use the optional tacking method mentioned in the notes.

Can I make the wall hanging without the tassels?

Absolutely! The tassels are a decorative element and can be omitted if you prefer a cleaner, more minimalist look. You could also substitute different finishing options like fringe, pom poms, or leave the bottom edge plain.
