Christmas Wreath

Knitting Pattern PDF

The pattern is all knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.

I added a mini hedgehog and squirrel that are featured in my book 'Mini Knitted Woodland'. These are not included in this file.

Finished size: about 40cm (15.75in) decorated, the base ring 34cm (13.4in)

Materials

• Oddments of yarn up to 50g (yarn guidance is given at the beginning of each item)

• Masking tape

• Artificial flower stamens

• Lightweight garden wire

• Floral tape (optional)

• Toy stuffing

• Card

• Bamboo skewer

• A wooden bead, glue

• 2cm (0,8in) gold bell x 2

Tools

• Long 3mm straight knitting needles or circular needles

• A chenille needle, an all-purpose sewing needle

• Scissors

• Plyers

Tension

• 28 sts x 36 rows=10cm x 10cm (not essential)

Practical tips

• Leave long ends for the parts that require sewing.

• Sew the seam with RS facing, using mattress stitch.

• If you are used to using long knitting needles, use them to knit the base ring cover. Alternatively, use circular needles (40cm) and turn them at the end of each row.

• Measure your knitted Base Cover and cut the cardboard rings to ensure they will fit.

• Feel free to improvise and have fun! I added little creatures from my book, ‘Mini Knitted Woodland’.
