Joining Around The Foam Form
There are two ways to join your crochet piece around the foam wreath:
Slip Stitch Join:
Wrap the cover around the wreath form with the right side facing out, then slip stitch the long sides together along the back of the wreath.
Sewing Join:
Alternatively, fasten off, leaving a long tail. Wrap the cover about the wreath with the right side facing out, then sew the long sides together using a whip stitch along the back.
Don’t worry too much about neatness—this seam will be on the back and won’t be visible.
Finally, join the short ends together to close the cover. This area will be hidden once you attach your bow, so no one will ever know if it’s not perfect! ?
Crochet Bow
With Color of Choice
Row 1:
Ch 67 (111, 161, 233) sts, starting in the second ch from the hook, sc in each st across, turn. | 66 (110, 160, 232) sts
Row 2:
Ch 1 (turning ch does not count as a st throughout), blo sc in each st across, turn.
Rows 3-4:
Ch 1, blo sc 1, *skip the next st, sc in next, work a puff st into the skipped st; repeat from * across until the last st, blo sc 1, turn.
Rows 5-6:
Ch 1, blo sc in each st across, turn.
Repeats:
Repeat Rows 3-6 until the total number of rows is 6 (10, 14, 18) rows; this will end on a blo sc row.
Folding the Bow – See Video
Fold the bow piece in half lengthwise so the long edges meet. From the open edges, measure 3.5 (7, 10, 14) inches, depending on your size. Using your yarn needle and matching yarn, seam the layers together at that point, joining the two sides securely.
Next, take the closed end of the fabric—your piece will now form a circle with tail ends. Fold the center of this circle toward the seam you just made. Pinch the center together to shape the bow and use your yarn needle to stitch it in place, securing the folds. Set aside and make the Bow Center.
Not Just for Christmas!
These wreaths aren’t just for Christmas! By simply changing colors, you can create a stunning piece of decor for year-round use! I used charcoal and rusty orange to make some Halloween wreaths. Try using pastels for spring and Easter, or beachy colors or red, white, and blue for the summer. Use your favorite school or team colors for a one-of-a-kind decoration. The choice is yours!
Bow Center
Row 1:
Ch 13 (15, 17, 19) sts, starting in the second ch from the hook, sc in each st across, turn. | 12 (14, 16, 18) sts
Row 2:
Ch 1 (turning ch does not count as a st throughout), sc in each st across, turn.
Repeats:
Repeat Row 2 until the total number of rows is 2 (3, 3, 3) rows. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
Wrap the center strip snugly around the middle of the bow to create the bow’s shape. On the back side, use the tail end of your yarn and a yarn needle to seam the edges together, securing the wrap in place.
Next, attach the bow to the wreath in your preferred position—either at the top or the bottom. For the most secure hold, use your yarn needle to stitch all the way through the wreath form to the back side.
To help the bow stay puffed, tack the back side of the bow to the wreath—secure each side of the bow wings in place. See the video for reference.
Once the bow feels firmly attached, fasten off and weave in all yarn ends neatly on the back.
