Alpha Wall Hanging
Start your wall hanging by crocheting a rectangle in Tunisian simple stitch, then add textured embellishments like cross-stitch, pom-poms, and playful fringe. A wooden dowel and hanging loop finish things off so you can display your new art in your sweetest spaces. This wall hanging pattern offers you a whole appliqué alphabet to choose from.

NOTE
When choosing colors for your letter and using a light-colored background as I did here, use your lightest color for the main letter, the darkest color for the outline, and the mid-tone color for the shadow. This will ensure that you have strong contrast and that your chosen initial stands out from the background.
