Crocheted Winter Wreath

My winter/holiday decorations are slowing going up this week! First order of business was to take down my fall wreath and replace it with a winter wreath! I wanted to make another crocheted wreath and knew that the soft Loops & Threads yarn that I used for my crochet snowman hat would be perfect for my winter wonderland.

I used a 16 inch white styrofoam wreath, Loops & Threads Charisma yarn in white, and a size N crochet hook. 

I found a wonderful tutorial on how to crochet around a styrofoam wreath by Lisa at Good Knits. She provides step-by-step instructions with pictures that are easy to follow. I am very pleased with the result and it took less than hour to make! You can find the tutorial HERE.

To make the "Let it Snow" writing, I made multiple crocheted chains and cheated by using my hot glue gun to glue the chains on to form the letters. Sometimes you gotta take some short cuts to make things look the way you want :) I used Caron Simply Soft One Pound Yarn in Soft Sage.

I hung 3 crocheted snowflakes in the center of the wreath. The snowflakes are a very easy pattern by the talented Kadie at Seven Alive. I used Loops and Threads Impecabble yarn in white and a size F hook (because that is all I could find in my bedside table drawer). You can find the snowflake pattern HERE. I left a long tail at the end of the pattern and tied it to a strand of yarn on the back of the wreath.

I hope everyone is feeling the holiday spirit! I love this time of year :) Happy Holidays!
