My mom goes to a friend’s house for Halloween every year, and each year, I make her a different home decor piece to take over as a gift. This year, she asked for a Halloween themed wreath, but because it was on Halloween, we went with a Fall Wreath instead. Stayed tuned for that tutorial! For now, here is the base so you can make your own wreath for whichever holiday or season.
If you would like to see a specific type of wreath done, drop me a line below 🙂
Behind the Scenes… Working away at one of my offices – my local Wawa. Hehe. In case you were wondering what the background is in the photos below.
Materials:
– 185 yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used about half a skein of Red Heart’s Super Saver in Aran
– H8/5mm Crochet Hook
– #18 Tapestry Needle for Sewing and Weaving
– 12″ Styrofoam Form Wreath Form – I used a white Floracraft brand found at my local JoAnn’s
Time Spent:
I had my form cover ready in just over two hours.
Measurements:
This cover will fit a 12″ foam wreath form.
Gauge:
20 SC by 14 Rows = 6 1/8″ wide by 3 7/8″ tall
Abbreviations:
SC – Single Crochet
Pattern:
Chain 21. SC into the 2nd chain from the hook. (20 SC)
R2 – 130: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st SC, and each SC across. (20 SC)
Finishing:
Cut a long tail (I cut 60″ worth) for sewing.
Weave in beginning tail, then re-thread needle with ending tail.

Ooh, that's pretty. I can't wait to see what you did for the fall wreath. This base wreath is really nice though. I can see all kinds of possibilities for it! Thanks for sharing 🙂
That is really great! I would never have thought of doing a wreath. thank you for the pattern!
Thanks! Enjoy 🙂
How long in inches is the completed piece before it is stitched onto the wreath? I’m worried I’ll lose count of the rows so then I could just measure the length at the end.
I don’t have the measurements written down, but you could use the gauge as a guide. I might also suggest some stitch markers.
Thanks for the reply! I figured it out to be approx 37″, just in case anyone else has the same question.
