Yarn for the Christmas Wreath with Hearts and Flowers
I used the following amount of yarn and hooks for my wreath:
- Approx. 50 g white worsted weight yarn for wrapping
- Fingering weight cotton yarn in various colors
- A small amount of metallic gold thread
- 2.5 mm hook
Any fingering weight cotton yarn will work great for this free crochet Christmas wreath pattern. Suggestions include Scheepjes Catona cotton yarn or Hobbii yarn cotton 8/4. All of these yarns have a huge color selection. Add a ball of metallic thread yarn for some Christmas sparkle.

Covering the Wreath Base
Taking white yarn, secure the yarn with a pin at the back of your wreath. Begin wrapping the yarn around the wreath base, passing the ball of yarn through the hole in the centre of the wreath as you wrap the yarn around the outside.
Hide the loose yarn end under the yarn as you wrap, and make sure that you’re not leaving any gaps where the wreath base shows through. Continue wrapping, gradually covering the whole of the wreath base. Take your time for this process. Once the whole wreath base has been covered with yarn, weave in through your base securely with a needle.
Finishing
Arrange the flowers, hearts and leaves on the wreath base and pin them in position. You can use the images as a guide or create your own arrangement. When you are happy with the result, you can stitch in place or use a glue gun to secure your pieces if you wish.
