This is a free crochet pattern for how to crochet a fun, festive granny square wreath.

Remember my Granny’s Patriotic Wreath that I shared back in June of this year? I was so in love with how it turned out, and so I decided to make a similar one for Christmas.

This wreath is part of the 2020 Deck the Halls with Yarn Blog Hop, hosted by myself and Country Willow Designs.

Materials:
- Small Amount of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart’s Super Saver in Paddy Green, Cherry Red, and White
- G6/4.25mm Crochet Hook
- H8/5mm Crochet Hook (for Hanger only)
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving and Sewing
- Hot Glue Gun and Sticks
- Embellishment/s – I got both the Elf, and the “Merry Christmas” box in the ornament area at Hobby Lobby
- Optional, Sewing Thread and Needle to secure Elf (or a similar large piece)
- 12″ Extruded Styrofoam Wreath Form – I used a white Floracraft brand found at my local JoAnn’s
- Granny’s Patriotic Wreath, Free Crochet Pattern here on the EyeLoveKnots blog
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Bernatโs Super Value Yarn, Caronโs One Pound.
I did not weigh this project to determine how much yarn was used, but it wasn’t much. On my Basic 12″ Wreath Form Cover, I used 185 yards of worsted weight yarn, just as reference.
The wreath form WILL be visible through the holes in the granny squares, so keep that in mind when purchasing your wreath form. They do sell a sage green one.
Time Spent:
I worked my wreath up in about three days, for a total of about just under 7 hours.
Size:
12″ Wreath
Gauge:
First square is 3″
Abbreviations (US Terms):
- HDC – Half Double Crochet
- SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
Pattern:
To make your own, you will need to first go over to my Granny’s Patriotic Wreath Free Crochet Pattern, and work up your strip of granny squares, and seam. Also, don’t forget the hanger, if you will be using it.

The containers for those tall, skinny wafer cookie things are perfect for keeping small pieces in.


Embellishing time!

I walked up and down the Hobby Lobby ornament aisles, and came across these two ornaments that I thought would be perfect together. I looked online, and couldn’t find these on their site. Think the elf was $7.99, and the Merry Christmas one was $3.99. At the time that I bought them, they were on sale 40% off.

The sign has a twine hanger. I used this to wrap around the elf’s neck. Then, I hot glued the elf’s hands to the sides of the sign like he was holding it.

I hot glued the elf’s butt down to the seam. It took a lot more hot glue than I thought it would to secure him. Now, I put him up on my door as is, and he is sitting just fine, but he very well could fall forward, so my plan is to take some sewing thread, and tack his hat in place from one of the white lines, through his hat, and up the other white line. The gap is needed for the hanger, but if you don’t use the hanger, you’ll need this space to fit on your wreath holder.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Granny’s Christmas/Patriotic 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.

Thank you so much, Rhondda! So happy to party with you ๐
Just the mention of making Granny Squares makes me think of my grandmother who used to make hundreds of them to then make in to blankets. Too bad she never saw this wreath idea. Thank you so much for sharing each week and this post will be one of my features this week. #HomeMattersParty
Happy I could bring back some happy memories ๐ Granny squares might just be my favorite thing to make, and I love using them in out-of-the-box ways.
How adorable is that? Love it!
