Crochet Fall Wreath

Fall Wreath

Making a wreath can be so much fun!
Using your own style..

1st you need to pick your supplies:
Depending on how big or small you want your wreath, You decide
I chose a 9.8" Wreath

I am using some left over scraps of yarn from my bin.
Since this is going to be a wreath for fall.
I chose bright orange

Next I went over the the Holiday section of Hobby Lobby
I didn't want my wreath to look like it was only for Halloween,
So I chose browns and golds
Stuff you can find outdoors kind of look

Next is the fun part! Getting started.
Crocheting over Styrofoam isn't that difficult.

I recommend you use 8mm size hook
I used 2 skeins of orange 7oz yarn

Basic stitches:
Sc / Single Crochet
Ch / Chain stitch

1st row 100 Sc's around the styrofoam.
Think of this as if it was a chain loop and you were single crocheting around loop
Sl into starting Sc

2nd row, Sl into starting Sc, Ch1 Sc in same Sc, Sc in each Sc,
Sl into starting Sc

3rd row, Sl into starting Sc, Ch5 Sk Sc, Sl into next Sc
Rep = 50 Ch5 Sp's

4th Row, Sl into Ch5 Sp, Ch5 Sl into next Ch5 Sp
Rep around = 50 Ch5 Sp's
Fasten Off

Now you have your starting canvas!
Have fun creating!
I will post an update when mine is complete
