🎄 Ultra-Detailed Tutorial: Crochet Candy-Stripe Mini Wreath

This matches exactly the technique shown in your image.

---

⭐ Materials

• 1 wooden ring (4–5 cm)
• Christmas yarn (red, white, green)
• Crochet hook size suitable for yarn (usually 3.0–4.0 mm)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

🧶 Understanding the Technique in the Photo

This wreath is made using:

➤ Single crochet stitches worked around a wooden ring

This is not worked in rounds like normal crochet—
you crochet around the ring itself, pulling yarn from the back to the front.

➤ Color changes every few stitches

This makes the candy-stripe effect.

🍬 Step-by-Step Instructions (Very Detailed)

---

STEP 1 — Attach First Color

1. Hold the wooden ring in your non-dominant hand.
2. Place the yarn (let’s start with red) behind the ring.
3. Insert the hook from front to back under the ring.
4. Hook the yarn and pull it to the front → 1 loop on hook.
5. Yarn over and pull through → single crochet made.

Tip: Pull this first stitch tight—it anchors everything.

---

STEP 2 — Work Single Crochets Around the Ring

Repeat:

1. Insert hook front → back under the ring.
2. Yarn over behind the ring.
3. Pull yarn up to the front → 2 loops on hook.
4. Yarn over → pull through both loops.

Each stitch wraps around the ring.

👉 Slide stitches together as you go.
They should be tight and touching—no space.

STEP 3 — Switch Colors (Exactly like the photo)

When you’re ready to change color:

1. Do a normal SC until you have 2 loops left on the hook.
2. Drop the old color (don’t cut it).
3. Pick up the new color (e.g., white) and yarn over with it.
4. Pull through both loops → color change completed.

Now continue single crocheting with the new color.

To get the exact look:

• Change color every 3 stitches
  (Example: 3 red → 3 white → 3 green → repeat)

That makes the clean stripes shown in the photo.

STEP 4 — Continue Around the Ring

Keep crocheting:

• Insert hook under the ring
• Pull yarn up
• Make SC
• Slide stitches so they stay tight

Repeat color changes every 2–4 stitches depending on stripe thickness you prefer.

Continue until the wooden ring is fully covered.

---

STEP 5 — Closing the Circle

When you meet the first stitch:

1. Insert hook into the first SC you made.
2. Slip stitch with the working yarn color.
3. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail.
4. Pull through tightly.

---

STEP 6 — Weaving in Ends

With a yarn needle:

1. Bring all tails to the back of the wreath.
2. Weave them around stitches inside the ring.
3. Trim excess yarn.
