Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base Wreath Form

1. Start by creating a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring.
2. Chain 1 (ch 1) to secure the ring.
3. Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring.
4. Continue working in spirals, increasing evenly by adding 2 sc in each stitch around until the circle measures 14 inches in diameter. To increase, simply place 2 sc in the same stitch every other round.

2. Flower Motifs

1. Using a different pastel color, chain 4 (ch 4) and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 10 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round.
3. Round 2: *Chain 3 (ch 3), skip the next sc, slip stitch in the next sc*; repeat this around the ring. You should have 5 petals formed. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

3. Leaves

1. Using another pastel color, chain 10 (ch 10).
2. Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook.
3. Half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain.
4. Double crochet (dc) in the next 5 chains.
5. Half double crochet (hdc) in the next chain.
6. Single crochet (sc) in the last chain. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

4. Assembly

1. Using the tapestry needle and the yarn tails, attach the flowers and leaves to the wreath base.
2. Arrange the flowers and leaves in clusters for a natural and lush look. Feel free to mix and match the colors and placements until you are satisfied with the arrangement.

5. Hanging Loop

1. Chain 20 (ch 20) to create a hanging loop.
2. Attach the loop to the top of the wreath by making a slip stitch (sl st) to secure it in place.
3. Fasten off, and weave in any remaining ends with your tapestry needle.
