I remember the Christmas wreath pins I had when I was younger. They were crocheted and embellished. Every December it would be pinned to my "good coat" that I wore to church on Sundays. Feeling a bit nostalgic, I came up with a pattern that gives you the same idea.
The first thing I did was buy some of my new favorite yarn. It is called Loops & Threads Impeccable worsted. It is only available at Michael's. It has the same feel as Vanna's Choice but you get more in a skein for about the same money.
I started with an H hook but switched to a G hook and it looks better to me. Here are the instructions.
Lucky Ladybug's Christmas Wreath*
- a small amount of Loops & Threads Impeccable in Kelly Green
- G hook
- Embellishments
- Ch. 10 and slp st in first ch to form ring
- Chain 5 and slp st at the bottom of the first chain 6. There should be a total of 15 loops.
- Weave in ends and embellish as desired.
I took a picture with my cell phone so you could see my WIP. They only take about ten minutes start to finish.
There are a number of things you can use these little wreaths for besides making pins. I thought about sewing them together to make a garland. Using them as ornaments or as a tie on to special gifts. The wreaths could even be used to embellish other Christmas crafts. Just use your imagination!!
