# Fall Trio Wall Hanging Free Crochet Pattern
Quick game: close your eyes and name the first three things that pop into your head when you hear the word “fall.” For me it was an acorn, a pumpkin, and mushrooms — and the second I thought of them, I knew they belonged together on a wall hanging. This tapestry crochet trio brings all three to life in cozy autumn colors, worked from the bottom up in simple single crochet with color changes. Hang it from a wooden branch with a fluffy fringe, and you’ve got instant fall wall art!
Fair warning: this one uses a pixel chart for the motif (rows 10–35), so it’s best for crocheters who are comfortable switching colors mid-row. The first 9 rows are written out below to get you started.
What You’ll Need
- 4.50 mm crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn — I used Loops & Threads Impeccable:
- Aran, approx. 150 yds
- Walnut, approx. 20 yds
- Chocolate Brown, 30 yds
- Soft Taupe, approx. 70 yds
- Orange Crush, approx. 30 yds
- Pumpkin, approx. 30 yds
- Red Hot, approx. 30 yds
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Wooden branch or dowel rod
- Hand steamer (optional, but lovely for softening the finished piece)
A note on yarn choice: for wall hangings I love a thicker, tightly spun worsted weight — it makes the details pop. I steam every wall hanging when it’s done, which softens the piece and makes it drape beautifully. Red Heart Super Saver and We Crochet Brava Worsted are great alternatives.
Color Key
- AR = Aran
- W = Walnut
- CB = Chocolate Brown
- ST = Soft Taupe
- OC = Orange Crush
- P = Pumpkin
- RH = Red Hot
Pattern Notes
- Written in US terms.
- The wall hanging is worked in rows, from the bottom up.
- The 1st stitch of each row goes into the same stitch as the turning chain.
- The turning chain does not count as the 1st stitch of the row.
- The pattern is written as: number of single crochet stitches (color abbreviation) — for example, 8 (AR) means 8 sc in Aran.
- Odd rows are the right-side rows; even rows are the wrong side.
Size & Gauge
- Finished size: 21 inches wide x 7 inches long (not including fringe)
- Gauge: 16 sts x 19 rows = 4 inch square, worked in single crochet

Rows 10–35: Follow the pixel chart for the acorn, pumpkin, and mushroom trio until you reach Row 35. (Tip: print the chart and check off each row as you go — colorwork is so much easier when you can see the whole picture!)
Hanging Your Piece
Fasten off after Row 35, leaving a 5-foot tail.
To attach the project to your branch or dowel rod: thread the tail onto a yarn needle, weave it over the branch and back down into the 1st stitch along the top of the wall hanging. Repeat for every stitch across the top. Knot off and weave in your ends.
To hang it on the wall, drill 2 small holes on either side of the branch/dowel, thread cotton yarn through both holes, and knot off both ends. Trim the excess. (Or use whatever hanging method you prefer — no rules here!)
Adding the Fringe
Grab 3 strands of yarn. Push your crochet hook through the far-left foundation chain, fold the 3 strands in half, and loop the folded middle onto the hook. Pull the strands through the loop, then tighten to create the fringe. Repeat for every other foundation chain across the bottom. Give it a steam and a trim for a clean, polished look.
Sophie’s Tips
- Carry your unused colors loosely along the back — if the floats pull too tight, the piece will pucker.
- Count your stitches at the end of every row for the first few rows; 89 is your magic number.
- Don’t skip the steam! It relaxes the stitches and makes the whole hanging flow like fabric.
Happy crocheting — I can’t wait to see your trio on the wall! 🍂
