Wasabi green and deep plum make such a fun, unexpected pairing for home decor. Think soft sage-wasabi with rich berry accents on otherwise neutral furniture and wood. The patterns below are all written in other colorways, but you can easily swap yarn shades to match your palette—use wasabi for big blocks of color, and plum for stripes, borders, and tassels. Pick one room or corner to experiment in, then slowly let your new color story spread across your home.

FAQs
1. What yarns work best for Crochet home decor in general?
For cushions, throws, and wall hangings, soft acrylic or wool-blend yarns in worsted to bulky weight are versatile and cozy. For items that need structure or regular washing—baskets, placemats, coasters, plant covers—choose cotton or cotton-blend yarns which hold shape and handle moisture well.
2. Should I machine-wash or hand-wash these projects?
Check your yarn label first. Most cotton and many acrylics can go in a gentle machine wash inside a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry so pieces don’t stretch. Super bulky throws and textured items like bobble wall hangings usually last longer with cool hand-washing and careful squeezing in a towel before drying flat.
3. How can I resize patterns for different furniture or spaces?
For blankets, runners, and placemats, adjust the starting chain using the stitch multiple given in the pattern, then work more or fewer rows. For baskets and stool covers, add or remove increase rounds in the base to match the measurement you need. Always measure your furniture or surface before starting, and keep a tape handy as you crochet.
4. What fibers are safest for kitchen and heat-adjacent items?
Use 100% cotton or mostly cotton blends for coasters, placemats, and table runners that might see warm mugs or plates. Avoid acrylic near high heat; it can melt or deform. Even with cotton, don’t rely on crochet alone as a trivet for very hot pans—pair it with a heat-safe board or pad underneath.
5. How do I make joins and edgings more durable for daily use?
Work final borders in single crochet or slip stitch through both loops to lock edges. When joining pieces, use whipstitch or mattress stitch with a slightly shorter tail and weave in ends in at least three directions. For baskets or stool covers, keep your tension firm and consider going down a hook size to create a tighter, sturdier fabric.
6. How much time and yarn do typical home projects use?
Small items like coasters, mug rugs, and bunting motifs often take under an hour and less than 50–80 yards each. Placemats and pillow fronts may use 150–250 yards and an evening or two. Baskets, plant covers, and stool tops can vary widely but are usually weekend projects. Big throws or full-length runners need the most yarn—often 800–1200 yards—and a few relaxed weeks of stitching.
7. Any tips for photographing my Crochet home decor?
Use natural daylight near a window, turn off harsh overhead lights, and keep backgrounds simple—plain walls, wood, plants, or books. Arrange pieces in their “real” setting (pillows on a sofa, bunting above plants). Take a few close-ups of the stitch texture and a wider shot of the whole space so the colors and styling shine.
8. How can I fix curling, stretching, or wavy edges?
Light blocking works wonders: lay the piece flat, gently shape it to a rectangle or circle, pin, and steam or spritz with water, then let dry. If edges are wavy, you may have too many stitches—try going down a hook size or skipping some increases on the next version. If corners curl under, add a round of single crochet with 3 stitches in each corner to help them relax.
