Crochet Hanger Tutorial
Materials Needed:
- A plain hanger
- Yarn of different colors (mentioned are Charisma yarn from Loops & Threads, and a fleece yarn from Yarnspirations)
- A crochet hook (5 mm is used in the video)
Step-by-Step Guide:
Starting Off:
- Choose the starting end of your yarn. (The video suggests starting with a thicker yarn for ease of demonstration.)
- Position the end of the yarn towards the direction you won't be working towards first to keep it out of the way.
- Hold the yarn in place on the hanger, where you plan to start wrapping.
Making the Initial Loop:
- Fold the yarn over itself to make a loop.
- Using the crochet hook, pull this loop through another loop around the hanger. This creates your initial attachment to the hanger.
- Secure the first loop by pulling the yarn tight but not too tight, allowing some flexibility for further wrapping.
Continuing the Wrap:
- Continue with the slip stitch method by going under the hanger with your hook, grabbing the yarn, and pulling it through to create loops along the hanger.
- Keep wrapping the yarn around the hanger, pulling each new loop through the previous one. Ensure not to tangle the yarn as you work.
Changing Colors:
- When ready to change yarn colors, prepare the new yarn by placing the majority of it towards the direction you'll be working.
- Cut the old yarn (if necessary) ensuring enough tail is left to secure it.
- Introduce the new color by making a loop with it and continuing the wrapping process in the same slip stitch method as before.
Finishing the Wrap:
- Continue adding colors as desired, repeating the process for each color change.
- Once you reach the end of the hanger or your desired stopping point, cut the yarn, leaving a small tail to weave in or secure with a knot.
Neatening the Final Product:
- If you have any loose ends or yarn that stands out, gently tug the surrounding loops to tighten them.
- Adjust any uneven areas to smooth out the final look.
Completing Your Project:
- Celebrate your newly wrapped hanger. This customization adds a fun, personal touch to your wardrobe.
