Crochet Christmas wreath decoration for your tree
I was looking for easy christmas decorations to crochet. and whilst looking aorund my sunroom I saw these old curtain rings, that I had planned on using them elsewhere in the house, but after a wash and scrub they still looked a bit tatty.
So instead of reusing them I just kept them thinking I could use them for something.
I had several sizes to choose from and settled on a 2 inch diameter wooden ring You can also BUY 2 inch wooden rings here on Amazon. Wooden Rings for Crafts (2.2 in, 20-Pack)
I have used these to crochet some new festice christmas decorations.
Every one using the same basic technique of crocheting around the ring in single crochet
I have added a short video here to let you see how to croche taround a curtain ring. It really is quite easy once you have the hang of incorporating the ring into the single crochet stitch.
Christmas Crochet Wreath Pattern
I used a 3.00mm
Rnd 1: start with a sl st and create a single crochet around the ring,
work a further 43sc around ring, join with a sl st to beg sc. Do not turn. (44 sc)
Rnd 2: WORKING in BACKLOOPS
Ch2, Skip 1 st, sc in nxt st, ch 2,* sk next st, sc in next st, ch 2*, repeat from * to * around,
join with a sl st to beg sc. Do not turn. (22 sc, 22 ch1 spaces)
*work 3 dc in next ch space, slst into next ch2 space* repeat * to * around,
ending with a sl st into the End off, weave in ends.
To Finish:
Chain a length of RED yarn, long enough to weave in and out the ch-2 openings
and tie into a bow at the top
