Some projects just have a little heart in them, and this one definitely does. The Sister Circles Wall Hanging is made up of two crochet circles (almost like quiet little mandalas) joined one under the other, with a tassel and a few beads to finish it off.
It’s simple, soothing, and looks beautiful wherever you hang it.
This design is one of those “crochet it once and you’ll want to make another” kinds of patterns, the perfect mix of relaxing rounds and instant satisfaction. It’s light, airy, and just a little bit boho without trying too hard.

The Story Behind Sister Circles
This idea started one quiet afternoon when I was crocheting without a plan really, just letting my hook wander. I had a few yarn scraps and ended up with two circles that felt… connected somehow.
So I joined them, added a tassel, and realized they looked like sisters, different in size, but part of the same story.
That’s how Sister Circles got its name. It’s a simple piece that feels balanced and calm, like two voices in harmony. You can see it as a symbol of connection, friendship, or just a pretty piece of wall art, it carries a little meaning in every round.

A Perfect Way to Use Up Leftover Yarn
You know that little pile of yarn leftovers we all keep “just in case”? This is their moment to shine. Sister Circles works beautifully in two shades of the same color, or you can go bold and make each circle a different hue. Neutrals give it a calm, modern look, brights make it playful and full of personality.
If you have yarn with a bit of shimmer or texture, even better. Hang it somewhere the light can catch it, the beads will sparkle a little, and that tassel will dance with every breeze.

Make It Your Own
There’s no one right way to display Sister Circles. Hang it near your craft corner, by your entryway, or even as part of a little handmade gallery wall. It fits anywhere that could use a touch of cozy creativity.
It’s also a lovely gift idea, quick to make but full of intention. Giving it to a friend, sister, or someone who appreciates handmade art, it’s one of those pieces that feels personal.

Finishing
Secure the yarn, weave in the ends, and cut the yarn. Block the Mandala using water or a steaming tool.
Joining the Circles and Adding the Hanging Loop
Once both circles are finished, it’s time to turn them into a wall hanging.
Start by chaining the length you want for the hanging cord. This will decide how far apart your circles will hang. When you’re happy with the spacing, use your tapestry needle to sew the top of the lower circle to the bottom of the upper one.
With the same needle, thread and attach your beads right below the bottom circle (or wherever you like them best). Make sure to tie a small knot after the last bead so they stay securely in place.
To finish, go back to the top of your chain and slip stitch into the fourth chain from your hook to form a small loop for hanging.
And that’s it! your Sister Circles wall hanging is ready to find its spot on the wall!
