Happy New Year everyone! And what better way to welcome in January, and the year of 2016, than by finishing my Christmas wreath. Yes, after Christmas haha!
I started this project on the 19th October, which gave me loads of time to get it finished before Christmas. But me being me, it didn’t get completed until today, due to spending time wrapping presents, reading, and on my latest obsession – colouring! I’m not too bothered though, and it can have it’s debut for next Christmas!

I made my wreath using the Christmas Wreath pattern by Lucy of Attic24. Her finished wreath is ridiculously pretty and super colourful! I went for a slightly more toned down version but still love it. All of the yarn is Sirdar Crofter DK, in various colours, and I made the stars using Lucy’s Teeny Tiny Stars pattern! Everything else has been purchased or gifted! Included on my wreath are:
- Wooden snowflakes (Hobbycraft)
- Jinglebells (Hobbycraft)
- Wooden beads (Hobbycraft)
- Ricrac ribbon in yellow and blue (Hobbycraft)
- Snowflake ribbon (Hobbycraft)
- Gold ribbon (Hobbycraft)
- Giant button (free gift with Simply Crochet Magazine)
- Gingerbread men (Poundbury Garden Centre)
- Clothes peg lady (handmade by my very clever Mum!)
- Crocheted stars by yours truly
