Tulip Granny Square Wall Hanging | The Unraveled Mitten

Today I have a super quick and fun crochet wall hanging pattern to share with you. The Tulip Crochet Wall Hanging is a quilt inspired design made from little granny squares with some clever color changes. 

When I think of Spring the first thing I think of is Tulips. A couple of years ago I came across a quilt with these pretty geometric tulips on it and my immediate thought was ‘hey, I bet I can crochet that!’ So I did. 

This project has literally taken me 2 years to finish. It was officially my oldest WIP. I don’t know why it took me so long because you can whip this project up in just a few days. 

This wall hanging is similar to this farmhouse quilt crochet wall hanging pattern I did a couple of years ago. My goal eventually is to have a wall hanging for each season/major holiday. Easy decorating! 

I think this would also make a really great Mother’s Day Gift. 

You’re going to need some cotton worsted weight yarn. Lilly Sugar and Cream. You’ll need a skein of off-white color, some green for the leaves and stem and then one or more colors for the flower. I used a coral color, hot pink and a wine color. This is a great cotton scrap pattern!

Joining your Squares

After you complete your squares weave in all your ends. We are going to whip stitch them together using your off-white color. 

You can see a tutorial for the whip stitch here.

Surface Crochet Stem

After your squares are joined, use your green yarn to surface slip stitch a stem on the center seam. To start you’ll have your yarn on the backside of your square. Insert your EMPTY hook through the space you want to start in, pull up a loop, *insert hook into next space, pull up a loop. Repeat from * up to the start of the flower. 

The key here is to keep your tension even. Don’t pull your slip stitches too tight,

Tamara from Moogly has a super quick video if you’re a visual learner.

Border

Once they’re joined together and your stem is made, use your off-white yarn and join in any corner using a sl st. Sc evenly around placing 3 sc in each corner. Join to the top of the first sc with sl st. Weave in ends. 

This is where I blocked my square. I pinned it out and sprayed it down.

Attach to dowel

Lay your piece flat and position the dowel along the top edge. Cut a long piece of yarn (you will be using this to hang the piece as well so make sure its long enough). Thread it on your needle and starting in one corner poke it through from back to front.  Skip 1 stitch, then going around the dowel poke the needle through from back to front and pull tight. You may need to wrap around again on the last stitch.

Move the yarn so it is behind the dowel, tie a knot in the top, hang it up and you’re done

  1. Is there any reason I couldn’t make more granny squares & make an entire blanket? I have more use for a blanket than a wall-hanging, but I’m no expert!

  2. I had made this for my sister-in-law a while back. I wish I could figure out how to make other flowers just like this and make one big afghan of sewn floral squares!

  3. Love it, but why cotton? I have very little cotton in my stash and trying not to buy more yarn!

  4. Having problems with the one set of green leaves. Is that the cnc stitch! Mine is almost finished, but for those two leaves! Can’t seem To get those leaves!

  5. This is so pretty; would love to buy pattern & make for gifts, but one question first, please. Color CA is always off white, but CB is either flower color OR green, depending on which square it is? Thank you!
    Looking forward to seeing other seasons!
