About This Solar System Wall Hanging Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates a decorative wall hanging featuring the solar system: a crocheted background and individual planets that attach with Velcro. You will crochet the rectangular base in rows, make loops for wooden rods, and craft each planet from a circle and a hemisphere. It includes color-change tips, bead rings for Saturn, and step-by-step hemisphere shaping.

Detailed instructions cover materials, stitches and assembly, with photos to guide placement and finishing touches. The finished piece measures approximately 28 x 42 cm using the recommended yarn and hooks.

Why You'll Love This Solar System Wall Hanging Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns simple crochet shapes into a playful and educational wall piece I can hang anywhere. I enjoy combining tiny amigurumi planets with a textured background — it feels like building a miniature universe with yarn. I love that the planets are removable using Velcro, so you can change the arrangement or make sets for gifting. I poured attention into the color changes and bead rings to give each planet character, and I hope you enjoy those creative details as much as I did.

Switch Things Up

I love how easily this pattern adapts to different colors and styles; try pastel shades for a soft nursery version or bold neons for a modern playroom.

Change the size by switching yarn weight and hook size: bulky yarn and a larger hook make a chunky version, while thinner yarn and a smaller hook create miniature planets for keychains.

I often add embroidered landmasses, tiny beads for stars, or felt appliques for unique surface details; these small touches add tons of character to each planet.

For Saturn, experiment with wooden beads, tiny sequins, or crocheted chains to create different ring textures and finishes.

If you prefer a more permanent display, sew the planet velcro halves directly to the base instead of using removable Velcro so planets are firmly attached.

I sometimes swap the dark background color for a lighter or gradient sky to match room decor; contrast improves planet visibility and overall effect.

Make a matching mobile by attaching wooden embroidery hoops and suspending planets on fishing line for a 3D display instead of a wall hanging.

Try using metallic or sparkly threads for the embroidered star trails to catch light and give a magical shimmer to your wall hanging.

I like to personalize each planet with stitched names or small tags — a lovely addition for classrooms or as a gift for a space-lover.

Consider creating a series of bases in different sizes and exchanging planets between them to create seasonal displays or educational setups for lessons and play.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not using a turning chain at the start of rows; always begin each row with the specified turning chain to keep row counts consistent and edges even. ✗ Forgetting to leave long yarn tails for sewing; leave generous tails for attaching hemispheres and Velcro to avoid rethreading or fragile joins. ✗ Carrying multiple yarns without managing tension; carry yarns on the wrong side and secure floats to prevent puckering and uneven stitches. ✗ Skipping stitch markers during shaping; place markers at key points (color changes, beginning of round) to prevent missed increases or decreases. ✗ Overstuffing hemisphere pieces which causes bulging seams; stuff gradually and evenly for smooth round planets and cleaner joins.

Solar System Wall Hanging Amigurumi Pattern

Create a charming solar system wall hanging with crocheted planets and a textured starry background. This pattern guides you step-by-step through crocheting the base, individual planets (circle + hemisphere), and finishing touches like beads, Velcro rings and sewn-on planets. Perfect for a nursery, classroom or science-themed decor, this project combines simple amigurumi techniques with colorwork and assembly for a delightful handmade display.

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the earth. Use gray yarn and a 1.5 mm crochet hook.

Round 1 :

Round 3 :

16 sc (16)

Info :

Cut yarn. Leave a long tail for sewing. Sew velcro to the circle and hemisphere, stuff, and join parts.

Assembly Instructions

  • Sew the three crocheted loops around the wooden sticks and secure them to form the top and bottom rods before attaching the rest of the base; leave tails until rods are fitted and centered.
  • Attach Velcro circles: glue or sew the soft half (loop) to the back of each planet circle and the hook half to the base where you want each planet to be placed; glue can be used for a fast fix, then reinforce with stitches if desired.
  • Stuff hemispheres lightly, then sew hemispheres to circles using the long tail left from the circle; secure stitches and weave in ends neatly so the planets are smooth and round.
  • Embroider small stars or sew beads onto the base to create starfields and comet trails; use a beading needle and monofilament for tiny beads and wooden beads to make Saturn's ring.
  • Arrange planets on the base and test placement before final attachment; use sewing snaps instead of Velcro if you prefer a non-adhesive fastening method.
  • When attaching Saturn's ring, string beads on monofilament and sew or glue the bead ring to the circumference of the planet so it sits evenly.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers or a scrap yarn marker at the beginning of rounds to keep track of spirals and round counts, especially when working small circles.
  • 💡Carry color changes on the wrong side and secure floats regularly to avoid long loose strands appearing on the right side of hemispheres.
  • 💡Do not overstuff hemispheres; stuff gradually and evenly to maintain a smooth and round planet shape and to make sewing easier.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails after crocheting circles and hemispheres: these are used for sewing and securing Velcro without adding extra knots later.

This pattern is rated intermediate; basic crochet skills (MR, sc, inc, dec, working in rows and spirals) and some experience with color changes and small amigurumi pieces are recommended.

How long does this project typically take to complete?

Most crocheters complete this project in 5-7 hours, though time may vary depending on the number of planets you make and your familiarity with small amigurumi shaping.
