Materials Required
-
Yarn:
-
Green: For the main body of the wreath.
-
White: To create the spiraled contrast.
-
Red: For the decorative bow.
-
-
Crochet Hook: A standard size suitable for the yarn weight (e.g., 2.5mm or 3.0mm).
-
Tools: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and sewing the bow, scissors, and a stitch marker.
Special Features
-
Yarn-Only Base: By wrapping yarn 8 times, the wreath maintains a circular shape without needing a metal or plastic ring, making it entirely soft and lightweight.
-
Bicolor Spiral: The alternating chain-5 loops create a 3D texture that looks much more complex than it actually is.
Uses
-
Christmas Tree Ornaments: Lightweight enough for any branch.
-
Gift Toppers: Tie them onto wrapped presents for an extra handmade touch.
-
Miniature Decor: Perfect for dollhouses or small tabletop trees.
Crochet Christmas Wreath
The fun starts by wrapping green yarn around your fingers eight times to build a hidden, sturdy foundation.
This soft ring then gets covered in twenty-three single stitches to form a thick, leafy base.
A cool spiral look develops as you switch between green and white yarn, using sets of five chains to form a textured, candy-cane border.
Level of Difficulty
-
Beginner-Intermediate: The base is simple, but the alternating loop technique requires a bit of focus to ensure the colors cross over correctly and the loops don't get tangled.
Tutor's Suggestions
-
Adjusting the Bow: The tutor suggests adjusting and flattening the bow while sewing to ensure it looks symmetrical before finalizing the knots.
-
Stitch Markers: These are essential for the first round to ensure you have exactly 23 stitches, which helps the spiral pattern finish evenly.
Finally, a small red bow, tied from a simple chain of thirty stitches, sits right on the front.
One interesting feature is the long chain of twenty loops at the top, which serves as a handy way to hang your work.
This way of working is fast and results in a professional accessory that captures a happy holiday spirit using just a hook and a few colorful scraps.
Conclusion
This mini wreath is a creative way to use scrap yarn and basic stitches to produce a high-impact holiday ornament. The clever construction makes it durable, while the classic red, white, and green color palette ensures it fits perfectly with traditional holiday themes.
Pro-Tip
If you want the wreath to be extra stiff, you can lightly starch the finished ornament or crochet over a recycled plastic ring (like the ring from a milk bottle cap) instead of the yarn base!
