Holiday Wreaths
You can make large wreaths with your crochet hook to be in any shape you want. For Christmas, using a coat hanger is easy to shape into a circle and crochet around it.
I love it when our fans get an idea and personalize it to make it their own. Lynn Niehaus, a fan of The Crochet Crowd, saw a different concept in one of the patterns I made.
Instead of making a predictable round wreath, Lynn bent her wire to look like a heart instead. Using pink, she created a fun new wreath design. She another heart pattern and added them as danglers. She made hers for Valentine's Day.
You can do the same thing with our Table Top Wreaths. The only difference is that the circumference of the wreath is much bigger. I actually have two large wreaths in my Christmas Holiday Decor. One in green and one in pink.

I don't tend to make decorations but when I saw this I immediately thought it would be a great gift for my mother, who is 95 and in a nursing home. I haven't read the instructions yet so I don't know the finished size but if it's big I'll just find a way to scale it down. Thanks for passing this along, I don't do Facebook so I would have missed it otherwise.
