Quick Christmas Wreath for Holiday Cards and Gifts

This project is made in rounds.

Using your 4 mm (G) crochet hook (or size required for gauge) and green yarn:

R1: RS: Ch 10, without twisting, sl st to the first ch to form a ring. Ch 1. [ch 10 ring]

Rnd 2: Make 16 sc in the ring. [16 sc]

Rnd 3: 1 sl st in the first st, ch 3. *1 sl st in the next st, ch 3**. Work from * to ** around. Sl st to the first sl st to join. [16 sl st, 16 ch3sp]

Proceed to finishing instructions.

Finishing Instructions

• Finish off leaving and weave in ends.
• Using a 15-inch piece of red yarn (or thread, or red ribbon), thread one end on a yarn needle.
• Find the top of your wreath where you finished off and the center single crochet stitch made into the ring (in round 2).  Insert your needle in between the center single crochet and the single crochet to the left of it, from front to back. Pull the yarn through leaving about 3 inches on the front of the wreath. 
• Weave your yarn needle in and out around the wreath, over every other sc from Rnd 2.
• When you reach the top, the last stitch will be made from back to front. Use the remaining yarn end and the yarn end you left from the beginning to create a small tied bow.  
• Trim the ends of the bow evenly.
• Add a dab of glue if you’d like.
• You can add a small bell to the wreath if you’d like. I left mine plain to make it easy to use on my cup cozy and Christmas Cards.
