I have been having so much fun making wreaths over the last year, experimenting with different crocheted bases and embellishments. I know you are thinking, “I haven’t seen any on the blog”, and you are so right! I have been slacking a little on sharing my wreaths, but I plan on sharing more with you this year.

In preparation for the upcoming Spring, I thought the Turqua colorway from the Super Saver line would be perfect! And paired with it, I chose a trendy gray colorway from the same line, Soapstone.

I oogle over the beautiful Hydrangea wreaths all over Pinterest and Etsy, and I have really wanted to create my own version. This Make it for Me Event hosted by Kathy of Elk Studio was exactly what I needed to get my butt in gear, and work up my own Hydrangea wreath, and I am soooo happy with it! It came out perfect!

If you aren’t familiar with the Make it for Me Event, it is basically a time when we stop, and take some time to crochet something for ourselves to wear or display, and enjoy. I don’t know about you, but I received a few orders right at Christmas time, plus was finishing up last minute Christmas gifts, and I was just non-stop on-the-go crocheting and creating (and stressing a little bit) for others. It is nice when you have a break, to spend a little time on something special for you! This wreath was my special make for myself to place on my front door.

There are so many possibilities for this wreath – changing up the base color or flowers to match any occasion, holiday or color theme, adding a fun pennant banner diagonal from the flowers of instead of the monogram, how about a bird cut out or a “Welcome” sign? These are just a few ideas. Drop me a line below if you’d like to see a specific design.

After spending all your time crocheting the base and embellishments, save yourself some time, by using your hot glue gun to secure the flowers and leaves. I am not sure if you’ve used a glue gun with yarn before, but it is very, VERY secure. I have even washed items made that hot glue was used on, and they hold up extremely well.

Yarn Talk:

I used Red Heart’s Super Saver; 185 Yards in the Soapstone [Gray] colorway for the wreath base, about 55 Yards in the Turqua [Blue] colorway for the frilly flowers, and 25 Yards in the Tea Leaf [Green] colorway for the leaves.

My favorite yarns for crocheting a wreath are going to be 100% acrylic yarns, but specifically, I like Premier Yarns Basix Worsted, Lion Brand Pound of Love and Red Heart Super Saver. These yarns hold up well to wear and tear, and while they will fade over time, I feel that these yarns hold their color the best over other yarns I’ve tried, as well as the shaping of embellishments. If the wreath will be inside only, you could go with cotton blends and embellishments, but for outdoor wreaths, cottons fade quickly and begin to fall apart.

Premier Yarns Basix is a sturdy worsted weight acrylic yarn that is perfect for practically any yarn project you could dream of! It’s similar to Red Heart Super Saver and Bernat Super Value, but a little softer. It’s also machine washable and dryable making projects easy to care for. As of July 4th, 2026, it is available in an amazing number of colors – 93 solid colors – as well as 10 tweed colorways and 14 ombre colorways and in Lightweight, Chunky Weight and Super Bulky Weight.

Lion Brand Pound of Love Yarn is a soft, acrylic yarn that comes in a one pound ball. One pound means you won’t need many skeins to get projects done and even after big projects, like baby blankets, you’ll usually have some yarn leftover for smaller projects. It’s machine washable and dryable making projects easy to care for. As of June 5th, it is available in a 35 colors.

Tools & Notions:

We have lots of great crochet hooks in our Yarn Crafts and Coffee Yarn Shop. The most popular, and preferred by Candace and Emily, are the Clover Amour Crochet Hooks with the soft handles and smooth metal hook. Alexandra prefers metal crochet hooks with large, ergonomic clay handles and just loves the fun designs from SiennasBowtique and BronzeShepherdStudio! If your preference is wood, the LYKKE brand are lovely, smooth and sturdy.

Tapestry Needles with the blunt, round end are essential for sewing and finishing on a number of yarn crafts, including crocheting, knitting as well as needlepointing on fabric and plastic canvas. The blunt, rounded end allows the needle to pass easily through the fabric created by yarn and holes on canvas without snagging (or getting your fingers) in the process. More specifically for crocheting and knitting, a Bent Tip Tapestry Needle makes weaving, grafting and sewing so much easier on the hands. The long oval eye makes threading strands of yarn easier, though you may still want to use a needle threader.

A tape measure is an essential tool in a multitude of crafts, including crocheting, knitting and needlepoint to name a few, especially if you are cutting material to finish a project or trying to meet gauge.

Scissors are an essential tool. When I’m working on the go, I like to carry a pair of folding scissors as they fit perfectly in even the tiniest of bags. When I am working at home or have more space in my bag for a larger notions pouch, I like to use a pair of lightweight, all-purpose scissors as they are so versatile and great for a variety of things from cutting plastic canvas mesh to trimming yarn ends after weaving in to cutting out a care card to include with a handmade gift.

Stitch Markers are really helpful to use when it comes to marking the first stitch of the round so you can easily find it when it comes time to join, especially when working in a continuous round, as well as marking where to add increases in making top down garments or where change the stitch pattern within a pattern, which is more common in knitting, but they’re also really helpful when it comes to holding the layers of your fabric together, such as what you would use sewing pins for with fabric, so you can try garments and accessories on as you go or to keep all the rows and stitches lined up when you are ready to seam. You’ll find there are a variety of Stitch Markers available depending on what you’ll use them for, but plastic Locking Stitch Markers are among the most popular as they come in kits and are the cheaper option to grab off the shelf at the craft store, but my favorite are Lever Back Stitch Markers. Scrap yarn, paper clips and safety pins work too!

Jewelry Pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in the ends of tough yarns, such as cotton yarns and chunkier yarns, that can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle. Sore thumbs and frustration can be a thing of the past by simply using jewelry pliers to help pull the tapestry needle through the work. Make sure the eye of the needle is facing up so you can see directly down it and carefully pull, wiggling as needed. If it gets caught and you tug too hard, it will break the eye of your needle.

Foam wreath form bases come in green and white. It does not particularly matter which color you use for a crocheted wreath that is made of a solid fabric. Even as it stretches, the fabric is typically still solid enough that you don’t see your stitches through, but this is not always true so you will definitely want to test it before whipstitching closed. Personally, I always try to match light colored yarns with a white base, and darker colored yarns with a green base just so I don’t have to worry about it.

If you don’t have a foam wreath base, you could use a straw wreath or a pool noodle with the two ends attached together with a strong tape. These tend to be thicker so you may need to add stitches to the beginning chain to get a wider fabric. While I have not tested wire wreath forms, I think they would work about the same, but may be thinner around and require less stitches.

Hot glue works well for several years, but it can look a little messy, especially if it’s hot where you are, and the embellishments start to loosen over time. I prefer using Titebond Quick and Thick Multi-Surface to glue embellishments in place.

Time Spent:

I had my wreath ready to go in just over three and a half hours.

Measurements:

This cover will fit a 12″ foam wreath form.

Before seaming, your fabric should measure anywhere from 5 1/2″ wide to 6 1/8″ wide by about 30 7/8″ in length.

Gauge:

20 Single Crochet by 14 Rows = 6 1/8″ Wide by 3 7/8″ Tall

The most important thing is to measure the width of your fabric after at least 8 rows – this will be the finished width, and you’ll want that to be 5 1/2″ to 5 3/4″ wide, though it does work all the way up to 6 1/8″ with a little looser of a fit. Anything less or more, I recommend going up or down a hook size or adding or taking away stitches in any multiple.

Wreath Base:

First things first, you will need to work up a Basic 12″ Wreath Form Cover, a free crochet pattern found here on the EyeLoveKnots blog! Don’t forget the wreath hanger if you need one – I made mine with the same yarn as the wreath base.

Frilly Flowers – Make 3:

Once finished, time to start your flowers! I used my Frilly Flowers Free Crochet Pattern to work up three flowers in Turqua Blue. There are some photos in that post to help you roll up your flowers too.

Leaves – Make 4:

For the leaves, I used Tea Leaf Green and my Basic Leaf Pattern 2 Ways in withOUT the vein.

Assembly:

Your wreath base should already be sewn closed on the styrofoam base. Next, decide where to place your flowers, leaves and letter. To do so, lay them down on top of the wreath base, and move around until you have found the perfect spots for them. I suggest using them to cover up the seam from sewing the two ends together of the wreath form cover. The larger seam sewn lengthwise to join the two sides of the wreath cover should lay on the inside back of the wreath, and not be visible.

For mine, I knew that because the letter was a little heavier, that I wanted it to be closer to the bottom center so it wouldn’t make the finished wreath tilt. I placed it slightly off centered. Keep in mind, that it is best if the letter reaches the side too, so it can be tacked down here as well for extra security. After deciding on the letter placement, I placed the first flower closest to the letter, and then the other two flowers following each other. After I had the flower placement down, I added in the leaves in between the flowers, making sure they didn’t touch each other, but were sticking out a bit so they could be clearly seen over the flowers. After I was satisfied with the placement of everything, I carefully picked up one item at a time, and hot glued down.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Turqua Spring Wreath using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.
