Hello Spring CAL – Part 6

Last updated: 15 July 2026

The Hello Spring CAL is now coming to an end; we’ve reached the border.

As you know, I’ve made a wall hanging using the ‘Hello Spring’ pattern. Therefore I worked only five pattern repeats.

When it came to the border, I had to decide how I wanted to hang my decoration.

I’ve seen some rather complicated-looking constructions for hanging wall decorations, but I’ve never found an explanation of how to make them.
At first, I thought about attaching loops to it, similar to how you do with a quilt. There too, however, I wasn’t sure how best to attach them. Then another idea came to me – a very simple one:

First, I crocheted the border as usual. In the final joining round, I left a gap at the top side edges. For the last 7 stitches on both top sides, I worked the slip stitches only on the front layer, without joining the two layers together. After that the corner was worked as usual. This created a sort of tunnel through which I can slide a rod for hanging.

It works perfectly!

Tomorrow I will write a short summary with all details of my test. Stay tuned!
