Meet Sandra Regev from Sandra Stitches
Sandra Regev lives in the beautiful town of Haifa in the northern part of Israel with her husband. She is a mother of three amazing ladies and a grandma of one little man. She learned to crochet at the age of 7 taught by her mom.
Crochet was a constant part of her life, especially in big decision-making periods when focus and peace of mind were needed.
When Covid hit the world and she found herself at home all day, crochet was her savior. Since then she started designing her own patterns, mostly easy to follow with lots of texture. When not crocheting or designing Sandra travels the world, babysits her grandson, and goes hiking with her family.
Her designs can be found on Ravelry, on her Blog, and on her Facebook community where all the crochet stories come to life

Granny Rectangle Wall Hanging Pattern
FRONT PANEL
Make 3 identical squares- alternating colors as you wish.
Using your 6 mm (J) crochet hook or size for gauge:
Round 1: Ch 4, join with a sI st to form a ring. Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Into the center ring make 2 dc, ch 1, and (3 dc, ch 2) three times. Join with a sl st to the top of first ch 3. [12 dc, 4 corner ch2sp]
Round 2: Ch 4 (counts as 1 dc and ch1sp). In the next three corner ch2sps work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1). In the last corner ch2sp work (3 dc, ch 2, 2 dc). Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the beginning chain 4. [24 dc, 4 ch1sp, 4 corner ch2sp]
Round 3: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc) into the ch1sp just below in the previous round, work 2 dc, ch 1. (This makes the first granny cluster of this round.) *Into the next corner ch2sp work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1). Into the next ch1sp, work (3 dc, ch 1)**. Work from * to ** 2 more times. In the last corner ch2sp work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1). Join with a sl st to the top of the first ch 3. [36 dc, 8 ch1sp, 4 corner ch2sp]
Round 4: Ch 4 (counts as 1 dc and ch1sp). In the next ch1sp work (3 dc, ch 1). Into the next corner ch2sp work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1). *Into each of the next two ch1sp work (3 dc, ch 1). Into the next corner ch2sp work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc, ch 1)**. Work from * to ** around to the last ch1sp (which already has the beginning ch 4). In the last ch1sp work 2 dc. Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the beginning chain 4. Fasten off and cut yarn. [48 dc, 12 ch1sp, 4 corner ch2sp]
TIP: To make bigger squares, repeat Rounds 3 and 4 until you reach the desired size. Note: If you adjust the size of your squares, you will also need to adjust the size of your back panel to match.
BACK PANEL
Using your 6 mm (J) crochet hook or size for gauge:
Row 1: Ch 19, 1 dc in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc in next ch and in each remaining ch across to the end of row, turn work. [17 dc]
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc in next st, 1 dc in each remaining st across to the end of row. [17 dc]
Row 3-28: Repeat Row 2
Row 29: Ch 1 (does not count as a st), 1 sc in 1st st, 1 sc in next st and in each remaining st across to the end of row, fasten off and cut yarn. [17 sc]
STRAPS
Using your 6 mm (J) crochet hook or size for gauge:
The straps can be added directly to the back panel by joining your yarn with a slip stitch to the last stitch of the row (right corner):
Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc in each of the next 3 sts. Turn. [4 dc]
Row 2-4: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc in each of the next 3 sts. Turn. [4 dc]
Fasten off; leave approximately 5 inches and cut yarn.
To make the second strap, count back 4 stitches from the opposite end of the back panel (left corner), then join with a slip stitch:
Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc in each of the next 3 sts. Turn. [4 dc]
Row 2-4: Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), 1 dc in each of the next 3 sts. Turn. [4 dc]
Fasten off; leave approximately 5 inches and cut yarn.
Fold the straps in half to create loops then sew them back to the back panel (see image below).
Measure your pole and determine where to slide the straps across to.
CONSTRUCTION
- Lay back panel right side facing up
- Position all three squares facing right side facing up, on top of the back panel, leaving two rows of the back panel showing at the top (above the top granny square) – there will be some rows at the bottom showing beneath the third granny square as well.
- Sl st all three squares to the back panel on the side edges
- Sew each bottom side of squares to the back panel. Make sure to sew with the color of the border to avoid different colors to appear. By leaving the top edges of the squares open you have created 3 small pockets.
FINISHING
- Weave in any remaining ends.
- You can add fringe, tassels or beads to make it prettier 🙂
