🎀 CROCHET MINI WREATH ORNAMENT (DETAILED TUTORIAL)

🧶 Materials

• Yarn: 3 colors —
  • Red (center base)
  • Yellow or Gold (accent dots)
  • Green (leaves)
• Crochet Hook: 3.0 mm or 3.5 mm (depends on yarn thickness)
• Plastic or Wooden Ring (6–8 cm diameter)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

🔴 PART 1: Wrapping the Ring (Red Base)

1. Attach yarn to the ring
   • Make a slip knot and insert hook into the ring.
   • Pull the loop through and tighten gently.
2. Single Crochet Around the Ring
   • Yarn over, insert hook into the ring, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
   • Keep your stitches tight and close together so the ring is fully covered.
   • Continue single crocheting all around the ring until there are no gaps.
3. Finish
   • When the ring is covered, join to the first single crochet with a slip stitch.
   • Cut the yarn and weave in the ends securely.

✅ Tip: The red layer should look smooth and even, covering the plastic/wood completely.

🟡 PART 2: Yellow Accent Dots (optional decorative round)

1. Attach yellow yarn into any stitch of the red round.
2. Chain 1, skip 1 stitch, single crochet in the next stitch.
   • This creates little gaps between yellow stitches.
3. Repeat the pattern [ch 1, skip 1, sc in next] around the whole ring.
4. Join with a slip stitch in the first sc.
5. Cut the yarn and fasten off.

✅ Tip: You’ll have alternating yellow “dots” showing between the red stitches.

🟢 PART 3: Green Leaves (the outer petals)

1. Attach green yarn into any skipped stitch from the red base (behind a yellow dot).
2. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
3. In the same stitch, work 2 double crochets, chain 2, 3 double crochets — all in the same place.
   • This creates one “leaf cluster” (a small petal shape).
4. Skip the next stitch and repeat step 3.
5. Continue around the whole ring.
   • You should have about 10–12 leaf clusters depending on ring size.
6. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first ch-3.

✅ Now your wreath has red in the middle, yellow dots, and green “spiky leaves.”

🍃 PART 4: Leaf Tips Shaping

To make the leaf tips pointy and more realistic:

1. Slip stitch into the next 2 double crochets to move to the center (chain-2 space) of your first leaf.
2. In the chain-2 space, make:
   • 1 single crochet (sc)
   • 1 half double crochet (hdc)
   • 1 double crochet (dc)
   • 1 half double crochet (hdc)
   • 1 single crochet (sc)
     → This gives your leaf a nice peak at the top.
3. Slip stitch into the next 3 double crochets to move to the next chain space.
4. Repeat the same tip pattern (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) for every leaf around.
5. Join with a slip stitch into the first leaf tip.
6. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

🎁 PART 5: Finishing Touches

• Add a small bow using ribbon or yarn on the top.
• Make a hanging loop:
  • Cut a small piece of yarn or ribbon, thread it through a top stitch, and tie a knot.
• Optionally, sew or glue on tiny beads or bells for sparkle.
