Crochet Whimsical Colorful Jungle Parrot Wall Hanging Free Pattern

This adorable wall hanging features a vibrant parrot, perfect for brightening up your home. Made using the corner to corner (C2C) technique, this project is beginner-friendly and can be completed in just a few hours.

Materials Needed:

• Worsted weight yarn in multiple colors (e.g. red, green, blue, yellow)
• Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Optional: wooden dowel for hanging

Gauge:

Not crucial, but aim for 4 C2C squares to equal approximately 4 inches.

Finished Size:

Approximately 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall when completed and blocked.

Stitch Abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• C2C = corner to corner

Pattern Instructions:

1. Create a foundation by chaining 6.
2. Row 1: Create C2C square by DC in the 4th chain from hook and in the next two chains (you should have 3 DC in your first square).
3. Row 2: Start your first color (e.g., red). Chain 6, DC in the 4th chain from hook and in the next two chains. Attach it to the previous square by slip stitching in the top of the previous square’s last DC.
4. Continue building your squares, changing colors as required (making sure to follow your color chart for the parrot motif).
5. Work the parrot’s body using shades of green and blue, and its beak with a bright yellow. Use black for details in the eyes and markings.
6. Once your graph is complete, work a round of single crochet around the entire piece to finish the edges neatly.
7. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle and gently block your piece to shape.
8. Optionally, attach to a wooden dowel for hanging or simply hang it directly to the wall.

Notes:

Feel free to customize the colors to match your decor! This pattern can also be adapted into pillows or bags by adjusting the size.
