• 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.
