Easy for beginners.
Size & Fit Guide
You can make the wreath fuller or sparser, depending on how tightly you cover the form. Crochet and adjust the wrap until you are happy with the finished look.
Stitch Used
This project uses basic beginner crochet stitches.
How to Prepare It:
Begin the Foundation
Start crocheting around the wreath form, or build the crochet piece that will cover it. Keep your stitches even so the surface appears smooth & neat.
Work the Body Section
Crochet until the wreath form is covered and the texture looks the same all the way around. Don’t rush it. Keep the tension as comfortable and close as you can.
Re-size
If you want it a little fuller, keep adding crochet until it feels nice and padded. If you like a cleaner and simpler style stop when the shape looks balanced.
Join or Create
Join the ends carefully so that the wreath looks seamless. Press the crochet and make sure the shape is even.
Border Finish
Neatly tuck in the ends. Add a bow, greenery, ribbon or leave plain for a clean farmhouse finish.
Tips to help you
If you want to keep your spacing even use stitch markers.
Check the look of the wreath as you go so one side doesn’t get more plump than the other.
Keep your tension loose so the crochet falls nicely around the shape.
Simple neutral colors are a timeless farmhouse style.
Avoid these common mistakes:
- Stitches that are too tight around the mold
- Leaving coverage spotty
- Bulky way to connect the ends
- To choose a yarn that feels too limp
- forgetting to weave in ends good
Customization Suggestions

- Tie a small bow for a soft rustic finish.
- Use for fall, winter, spring or everyday seasonal colors.
