Crochet a Lighted Rug or Wall Hanging!

I seem to be very fond of circles lately, and today’s crochet light up mat or wall hanging is no exception.

Basically what you are doing is crocheting a spiral around an LED rope light, to create a crochet work of art that can be used in whatever ways you would like, and that your imagination takes you.|For instructions on how to crochet a basic spiral stitch, you can find numerous tutorials online.

You can make it in more than one color, which looks really nice in a spiral, your could use colored rope lights, and this lit circle would look amazing on a nursery wall too, done in the same colors as the baby’s room!  A nice soft, gentle light for baby as they drift off to dreamland!

You could also use up some of your stash by making this a multicolored spiral, and they would also make phenomenal gifts – or even holiday gifts (ie: Christmas)!  They are such a novelty I can practically guarantee that your friend, family member will not have seen them before, but will love them like crazy!

Special thanks to Johanna Hyrkäs , the original creator, and Carmen Jorissen at CraftyQueens.nl blog for sharing this pattern and their tips and insights with us!

As a note of caution, please please please ensure that you are only using LED lights, because they do not warm up, and conventional holiday lighting could potentially become a fire hazard once covered with yarn, and I do not want that to happen to anyone – and especially not our friends on this blog!

If you make one, please send in pics of it, so that we can all admire your handiwork!  I can’t wait to see them!

Be Well Friends!
