Materials You'll Need

Before you start crocheting, gather the following materials:

• Yarn: Choose a medium-weight yarn in festive colors (e.g., red, green, gold).
• Crochet Hook: A size that matches your yarn (usually 5.0 mm or H hook).
• Wire Frame: A 12-inch wire wreath frame to provide structure.
• Jingle Bells: Small or medium-sized bells for decoration.
• Hot Glue Gun: For attaching bells and other embellishments.
• Scissors: To cut your yarn.
• Yarn Needle: For weaving in ends.

Pro Tip: Consider using recycled or sustainable yarns to make your wreath more eco-friendly!

Steps to Create Your Crochet Christmas Wreath

Step 1: Create the Base

1. Start with a Foundation Chain: Begin by making a chain that wraps around the wire frame. This will determine the width of your wreath.

   Chain 90 stitches (or more, depending on your desired width).
   

2. Join the Chain: Connect the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a circle.

Step 2: Crochet the Wreath

1. Single Crochet Round: In each chain stitch, work a single crochet (sc). This will create a sturdy base.

   Round 1: Single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.
   

2. Add Texture: For the next few rounds, you can mix up your stitches. Alternate between single crochet and double crochet to add texture to your wreath.

   Round 2: *1 sc, 1 dc* around. Join with a slip stitch.
   Round 3: 1 sc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.
   

3. Repeat until your wreath is the desired thickness. Aim for about 4-5 rounds.

Add the Bells

Now for the fun part—adding the bells! The bells bring a festive jingle to your wreath and make it stand out as a true Christmas decoration.

Use small jingle bells that match your color scheme—gold, silver, or red are all festive choices.

Sew the bells onto the wreath using a tapestry needle and a strong thread or yarn, spacing them evenly around the wreath. You can also cluster a few bells together near the bottom for a fuller effect.
