2. Skeleton Banner

With Halloween around the corner, maybe you are looking for ways to add some spooky style to your home decor scheme. No bones about it, this skeleton banner is sure to do just that! I really like the jagged edges of this design and I think it makes it even more interesting. The pattern calls for stockinette stitch and stranded colorwork.

3. Knitted Lights

This next one is more of an idea for a project instead of a fully fleshed out design but it was just too cool of a concept to not include in the list. I love seeing unexpected things that have been used to knit with (like ramen noodles) and this string light experiment is seriously cool. If you have an extra pair of knitting needles you could even include them in the wall hanging for something extra special.

Knit wall hanging patterns are a great way to make a statement in your home decor – literally. Banners with words and phrases like this one that says “Read Banned Books” can help you express yourself in a whole new way. This pattern calls for stockinette stitch and stranded colorwork. There’s only 2 colors to juggle so it’s fairly accessible for newbie knitters.

5. Pin Pennant

Do you have lots of pins and nowhere to put them? Adding them to bags and jackets can be fun but I’m always a bit worried that they will fall off. Keep your favorite pins safe with a pin pennant like this one. The chevron shape and differing textures from the garter and stockinette stitches make this design marvelously modern. I especially like the combination of the fringe and tassel.

There is only one word to describe this next wall hanging and that word is epic! This fantastic sword depiction calls to mind epic quests of old.

You may be surprised to find out that this next wall hanging was actually knit in the round.
