Table Top Crochet Wreath
Using Red Heart’s Holiday Yarn or Bernat’s Holiday Yarn, create this simplistic idea that can be used year after year to decorate your candles and vases. These make interesting center pieces for your table too!
Materials Needed:
- Size J or 6.0 MM Crochet Hook
- 1 Ball of Green – Red Heart Holiday Yarn or Bernat Holiday Yarn 100 g, 3.5 oz
DC = Double Crochet, SL ST = Slip Stitch, BEG = Beginning, SC = Single Crochet
Instructions
- Form a ring using a clothes hanger or other wire around the object you want to put a wreath around.
- Make sure the ring isn’t matching the shape 100%. You need some gapping between the ring and object to allow for yarn allowance around the ring. Leave about 1/4″ gap on all sides.
- Ensure the ring is secured so it won’t open up. Tip: If using wire, have a generous overlap and tie the overlapping areas securely together in 3 spots. The wire will be covered and won’t be visible.
- Fasten onto ring, SC around the ring. Do it tight enough so that the stitches are covering all of the wire. It doesn’t need to be compressed extremeley tight. Just enough to ensure the wire is covered. SL ST when you get back to the start.
- CH 3, then DC 3 Times into each stitch going around the ring. SL ST at the end to the top of the CH 3.
- CH 3, then DC 3 Times into each stitch going around the ring. SL ST at the end to the top of the CH 3.
- CH 3, then SC into the next stitch, *CH 3, SC into the next stitch. Repeat * all the way around. SL ST at the end.
- Fasten off and weave in ends.
Fasten off, weave in ends.
