About This Christmas Wreath Ornament

If you are looking for Christmas ornaments to make and for ways to use up the odd bits of yarn then this might be the pattern you are looking for:

  • It is a relatively quick project that can be made in about 1 ½ - 2 hours, depending on your experience.
  • This lovely pattern uses very little yarn making it a great stash-buster pattern.
  • Use it to decorate your Christmas tree or home, make them for gifts, or to sell them at craft fairs.
  • You can easily customize this by adding other embellishments like beads, mini Christmas decorations, ribbons, flowers, and more.
  • This is a free pattern and you will find a printable pattern card at the end of this post.

How Do You Make An Easy Crochet Wreath?

This simple pattern is worked over three simple rounds. The most important part is the first round which covers the ring in yarn.

The yarn should fully cover the ring so that it covers the ring in a smooth single layer.

The second round is a series of treble crochets that are worked into each stitch of the previous round creating.

Because multiple stitches are placed into each stitch of the previous round, they bunch to create a ruffled look around the ring.

The third round is a decorative pico edging that finishes the wreath.

The mini wreath is decorated with a simple crochet bow that is sewn on.

The Type Of Yarn Needed

To make these wreaths, I used #3 light (DK, light worsted, 8-ply) acrylic yarn, because it is not overly thick.

You could even you a lighter weight yarn like #2 fine (spork, baby, 5 ply) or even #1 super fine (sock, fingering, baby, 4 ply) yarn.

If you choose to use a finer yarn weight you will need more yarn and increase the stitch count in the pattern.

I would not recommend worsted weight (#4 medium, Afgan, aran 10 ply) because it is too thick and bulky for a small project like this.

Rings to Crochet Around

The base for this project is a solid thick ring and I recycled some old wooden curtain rings, about 2.75 inches (7 cm) in diameter.

You can buy wooden rings from most hardware stores, craft stores, or online.

But the rings you use don't need to be wooden; you could use foam rings, crochet around thick solid bangles, or something similar in any size you want.

Crochet Stitches

You will need to know a few basic crochet stitches like chain stitch, single crochet, treble and slip stitch to make this mini crochet wreath pattern.

Crochet Picot Stitch

The easy crochet project uses a picot stitch as a decorative feature. If you do not know how to make this read our blog post on how to crochet picot stitch to learn more.

Color Combinations

For this project, I used the standard Christmas colors of green, red, yellow, and white.

However, there are some other great color combinations that you could use, consider these:

  • Blue, Orange, Silver, and Purple: This modern and eclectic combination adds a twist to the traditional Christmas colors. Blue and orange provide a bold contrast, while silver and purple add depth and sophistication.
  • Burgundy, Forest Green, Cream, and Brown: For a warm and rustic Christmas palette, consider these colors. The rich burgundy and deep green create a cozy ambiance, while cream and brown add natural and earthy tones.
  • Teal, Coral, Champagne, and Navy: This unique and vibrant combination adds a contemporary flair to Christmas colors. Teal and coral create a lively contrast, champagne adds elegance, and navy brings depth and sophistication.
  • Red, Gold, Silver, and Black: This dramatic combination exudes glamour and elegance. The vibrant red stands out against the metallic tones of gold and silver, while black adds a sophisticated touch.
  • Emerald Green, Ruby Red, Ivory, and Copper: This rich and opulent combination brings together deep jewel tones with metallic accents. The emerald green and ruby red create a striking contrast, while ivory and copper add warmth and luxury.
  • Navy Blue, Silver, White, and Mint Green: This elegant and cool-toned combination offers a modern take on Christmas colors. The deep navy blue provides a sophisticated base, while silver and white add a touch of shimmer. Mint green serves as a refreshing accent color.
  • Cranberry Red, Forest Green, Gold, and Champagne: This traditional yet refined combination showcases the beauty of rich red and green hues. The cranberry red and forest green evoke a cozy holiday atmosphere, while gold and champagne add a touch of glamour and elegance.
