The Love, Joy, and Peace Wall Hanging pattern was first published last year, on the blog of Clover-USA. It was a collaborative project.

NOTES

1. Read through the whole pattern before starting.
2. Each row begins with chain 2 but this beginning or turning chains DO NOT count as a stitch.
3. This pattern is worked from the bottom up, from right to left, and turning each row (back and forth).
4. This pattern is worked using FPDC or BPDC stitch except for the border which uses SC stitch. Odd Number Rows are worked with FPDC stitch while Even Number Rows are worked with BPDC stitch.
5. Numbers in ( ) at end of each round indicate the number of stitches in that row.
6. A chart is provided for your reference.
7. With all the colors and numbers, I recommend using a highlighter to track your progress.
8. When changing colors, you can just float the non-working yarn at the WS of your work and pick it up when you need it.
