Pink and burgundy crocheted flowers and leaves with tassels hanging from wooden dowel.

Blossom Sprig Window Hanging Crochet Pattern

by

This window hanging pairs soft pink six-petal flowers with deep plum leaf sprigs. The motifs alternate down five vertical strands, with natural wooden beads between them and a full tassel at the end of each strand. It has a calm, boho cottage-garden look.

Light pink is used for the flowers and three tassels. Deep plum (burgundy) is used for the sprigs, bead connectors, hanging loops and the other two tassels. The beads and dowel are natural wood.

This pattern uses US crochet terms. The finished hanging measures 23.5 in (59.7 cm) wide across the motifs and 29.25 in (74.3 cm) long from the dowel to the tassel tips. It hangs on a 28 in (71.1 cm) dowel.

You crochet 10 flowers and 10 leaf sprigs and make 5 tassels. Then you link everything into strands with short beaded chain connectors. Each strand hangs from its own chain loop.

Materials

Use a smooth combed or mercerized cotton. It keeps petals and leaf points crisp and does not sag when hung. The quantities below assume about 190 m per 100 g.

  • Light pink: 80 g (152 m) – flowers and 3 tassels
  • Deep plum: 70 g (133 m) – sprigs, connectors, loops and 2 tassels

Both quantities include a margin of about 25% for swatching, tails and trimming.

Tools

  • 4.0 mm (G-6) hook
  • 25 wooden beads, 16 mm (5/8 in / 1.6 cm), hole at least 4 mm
  • Dowel, 28 in (71.1 cm) long and 3/4 in (1.9 cm) across
  • Tapestry needle and a floss threader for stringing beads
  • Card 4 in (10.2 cm) tall for tassels
  • Scissors, stitch markers, ruler, pins and a blocking mat

Abbreviations (US Terms)

  • ch – chain
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • sc – single crochet
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • tr – treble crochet
  • sp – space
  • st(s) – stitch(es)

Special technique – surface vein: With the right side facing, insert the hook through the center line of the leaf, between the two stitched sides. Pull up a loop and draw it through the loop on the hook. Repeat one chain at a time to make a raised vein.

Gauge and Checkpoints

  • Chain gauge: 4 ch = 1 in (2.5 cm)
  • Flower: Rnds 1–4 = 3.5 in (8.9 cm), petal tip to petal tip
  • Single leaf: 1.5 in (3.8 cm) long x 0.75 in (1.9 cm) wide

Make one flower and one sprig first, and check them at these stages:

  • Flower Rnd 1: 1.25 in (3.2 cm) across
  • Rnd 2: 2 in (5.1 cm)
  • Rnd 3: 3.25 in (8.3 cm)
  • Rnd 4: 3.5 in (8.9 cm)
  • Sprig stem of 14 ch: 3.5 in (8.9 cm); whole sprig: 5 in (12.7 cm) tall

If the flower is over 3.75 in (9.5 cm), use a 3.75 mm hook. If it is under 3.25 in (8.3 cm), use a 4.5 mm hook. Change the hook, not the stitch counts.

Flower (Light Pink, Make 10)

The flower has an open center ring, six lacy windows and six rounded, outlined petals.

Rnd 1: Ch 6, sl st in first ch to form a ring. Ch 3 (counts as dc), 17 dc in ring. Sl st in top of ch-3 to join. (18 dc)

Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in same st. Ch 5, skip 2 dc, sc in next dc; repeat from * 4 more times. Ch 5, skip last 2 dc, sl st in first sc to join. (6 sc, 6 ch-5 sps) The ch-5 loops form the windows.

Rnd 3 (petals): Sl st into the first ch-5 sp. In each ch-5 sp, work (sc, hdc, 2 dc, 3 tr, 2 dc, hdc, sc). Sl st in first sc to join. (6 petals x 11 sts = 66 sts)

Rnd 4 (outline trim round): On each petal, work: sl st in sc, sc in hdc, sc in next 2 dc, 2 sc in each of next 3 tr, sc in next 2 dc, sc in hdc, sl st in sc. Join with a sl st. Each petal has 11 sts worked one-per-stitch + 3 extra tip sc = 14 sts. Round total: 66 + 18 = 84 sts (72 sc, 12 sl st). The sl sts keep the notches between petals deep.

Fasten off and weave in ends. On one petal, the top point is the gap between the 3rd and 4th of the 6 tip sc. The bottom point is the same gap on the opposite petal, 3 petals away.

Leaf Sprig (Deep Plum, Make 10)

Each sprig has a doubled central stem with 3 pairs of side leaves and 1 top leaf, for 7 oval leaves in total. You work it from the bottom up.

Leaf (work 7 per sprig):

  1. Ch 7.
  2. Side 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch (nearest the stem). (6 sts)
  3. Base: Ch 1, then rotate to work in the free loops of the same chain.
  4. Side 2: Sc in first free loop, hdc in next, dc in next 2, hdc in next, sc in last (at the tip). (6 sts)
  5. Tip: Ch 2, sl st in the turning ch to form the point.
  6. Vein: Work 5 surface sl sts down the center back to the base, then sl st in the stem ch the leaf started from.

Each leaf has 12 sts, a ch-2 tip, 5 vein sl sts and 1 joining sl st.

Stem:

  1. Leaving a 6 in (15.2 cm) tail, ch 5 (stem chains 1–5).
  2. Pair 1: Work 2 leaves from the 5th ch, one to the left and one to the right.
  3. Ch 3 (chains 6–8). Pair 2: 2 leaves from the last ch.
  4. Ch 3 (chains 9–11). Pair 3: 2 leaves from the last ch.
  5. Ch 3 (chains 12–14). Top leaf: 1 leaf from the last ch, pointing straight up.
  6. Stem return: Sl st in the back bump of each of the 14 stem chains down to the bottom. (14 sl sts) This makes the stem a firm cord.

Fasten off and weave the tails into the stem. Sprig total: 14 stem ch, 14 return sl sts, 7 leaves.

The top point is the top leaf’s ch-2 tip. The bottom point is stem chain 1.

Tassels (Make 5: 3 Pink, 2 Plum)

  1. Wrap yarn 30 times around the 4 in (10.2 cm) card.
  2. Pass a 10 in (25.4 cm) strand under the wraps at the top and tie it tightly. Leave the ends long.
  3. Cut the wraps along the bottom.
  4. With an 18 in (45.7 cm) strand, wrap tightly around the bundle 8 times, 0.5 in (1.3 cm) below the top. Knot the strand and bury the ends inside.
  5. Trim to 4 in (10.2 cm).

Make All Pieces

  • Light pink: 10 flowers, 3 tassels
  • Deep plum: 10 sprigs, 2 tassels, 25 connectors (5 per strand)

Layout grid (F = flower, S = sprig, P = pink tassel, M = plum tassel):

Strand:   1  2  3  4  5
Motif 1:  F  S  F  S  F
Motif 2:  S  F  S  F  S
Motif 3:  F  S  F  S  F
Motif 4:  S  F  S  F  S
Tassel:   P  M  P  M  P

The grid has 6 + 4 = 10 flowers and 4 + 6 = 10 sprigs, alternating in a checkerboard both down and across.

Joining

Each strand uses 5 plum connectors: 1 top connector, 3 between motifs and 1 for the tassel. Thread one bead onto the yarn before each connector.

Connector between motifs:

  1. Sl st into the bottom point of the upper motif.
  2. Ch 2, slide the bead up to the hook, ch 2. The first ch locks the bead.
  3. Sl st into the top point of the lower motif. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Each connector is 1 sl st + 4 ch + bead + 1 sl st, about 1.25 in (3.2 cm) long.

Stitch-to-stitch logic: Flower joins always go into the gap between tip sc 3 and 4, so one petal points straight up and one straight down. Sprig joins go into the top leaf’s tip and stem chain 1, so the stem stays in line with the strand.

Tension: Keep the chains snug. If they are loose, the bead slides and the motif twists. If they are tight, the motif tilts forward.

Size checkpoint: 3.5 + 5 + 3.5 + 5 + (3 x 1.25) = 20.75 in (52.7 cm) per motif column. If a column is off by more than 0.5 in (1.3 cm), redo the connectors.

Border (Top Loops and Tassel Edge)

Border gauge: 4 ch = 1 in (2.5 cm).

Top edge, each strand: Thread 1 bead. Ch 16, sl st in the first ch to form a loop. (16 ch) Ch 2, slide the bead up, ch 2. Sl st into the top point of Motif 1 and fasten off.

Top edge count: 5 strands x 16 ch = 80 ch along the dowel. There are no extra stitches between strands because each loop is separate.

Bottom edge, each strand: Thread 1 bead. Sl st into the bottom point of Motif 4. Ch 2, slide the bead up, ch 2. Fasten off, leaving an 8 in (20.3 cm) tail. Thread the tail under the tassel’s top tie, knot it and bury the ends.

Why the math works: A 16 ch loop is 4 in (10.2 cm) around. A 3/4 in (1.9 cm) dowel is about 2.4 in (6.1 cm) around, so the loop slides on easily and hangs 2 in (5.1 cm) deep. The loop plus a 1.25 in (3.2 cm) connector gives 3.25 in (8.3 cm) at the top. The 1.25 in (3.2 cm) connector plus the 4 in (10.2 cm) tassel gives 5.25 in (13.3 cm) at the bottom. 3.25 + 20.75 + 5.25 = 29.25 in (74.3 cm).

Final Blocking

  1. Before assembly, soak the flowers and sprigs in cool water. Then roll them in a towel to remove the water.
  2. Pin each flower to 3.5 in (8.9 cm). Pin every petal tip and open each window.
  3. Pin each sprig with a straight stem and the side leaves angled about 30 degrees upward, at 3 in (7.6 cm) wide x 5 in (12.7 cm) tall.
  4. Let everything dry completely.
  5. Lightly steam the tassels and trim them to 4 in (10.2 cm).
  6. After assembly, slide the loops onto the dowel 5 in (12.7 cm) apart on center, leaving 4 in (10.2 cm) free at each end. The span is 4 x 5 + 3.5 = 23.5 in (59.7 cm).
  7. Let it hang for 24 hours, then re-steam any motif that has twisted.

Final Quality-Control Checklist

  • 10 flowers, 84 sts in Rnd 4, 3.5 in (8.9 cm) across
  • 10 sprigs, 7 leaves each, each with a visible vein
  • All 6 windows open on every flower
  • 25 beads, locked by chains, 5 per strand
  • Layout matches the grid; tassels go pink, plum, pink, plum, pink
  • Each strand is 29.25 in (74.3 cm), within 0.5 in (1.3 cm)
  • No ends showing on the front

Troubleshooting

  • Petals cup: Rnd 3 is too tight. Use a hook half a size larger for Rnds 3–4.
  • Petals ruffle: check for exactly 3 extra sc per petal in Rnd 4.
  • Leaves curl: work the vein loosely, then wet block.
  • Stem twists: keep the return sl sts in the back bumps only.
  • Bead wobbles: tighten the ch right after the bead.
  • Strand hangs crooked: rejoin the connector at the exact top or bottom point.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water and dry flat before rehanging. To keep the plum from fading, avoid harsh direct sun.

Final Notes

The measurement chain is simple. A 3.5 in (8.9 cm) flower, a 5 in (12.7 cm) sprig and 1.25 in (3.2 cm) connectors make a 20.75 in (52.7 cm) column. Adding 3.25 in (8.3 cm) at the top and 5.25 in (13.3 cm) at the bottom gives 29.25 in (74.3 cm). Five strands spaced 5 in (12.7 cm) apart span 23.5 in (59.7 cm) on a 28 in (71.1 cm) dowel. Check every link in that chain, and the hanging will fall straight and even.

Happy crocheting!
