There is nothing like getting a jump on the holidays! Here is a wonderful, super-easy pattern to make wreath decorations for your tree, or to decorate anything, really. And, you help save the planet by using recycled plastic rings from your plastic containers.
If you can single crochet and make slip stitches, you can make this wreath!
Here is what you need:
Size G Crochet Hook
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn (I used Lily Peaches and Cream)
Plastic rings from juice jug or other drinks (I used rings from bottled ice tea and Vitamin Water)
1. Pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring and single crochet (I did not show this step but as long as you put the ball of yarn on one side of the ring and the crochet hook on the other before you start, you should be fine).
2. Stitch 35 single crochets (sc) around the ring. When you have gotten all the way around the ring with your single crochet stitches, join the last stitch to the first stitch with a slip stitch.
3. Chain 2 and single crochet into each stitch (35 stitches) around again.
4. Slip stitch to finish. Weave in ends.
5. Add any variety of ribbon. I love the look of the dainty baker's twine that I used.
Enjoy your little creations.
With pre-holiday joy,
Marsha
