I am a bit of an extrovert - in case you hadn’t realised. Christmas is a time for complete OTT outfits, more is more, glitter, lights, tinsel, you name it, I will knit it. Having made the matching hat & scarf, decided I needed a matching wreath too. Knitting this does not involve using massive amounts of concentration. I even talk you through how to make the wreath former from items you may already have at home. Fabulous stashbuster. Yarn is so expensive, I have to admit I keep every little scrap. The wreath itself takes 40-50g depending on how long you want it & if you run out, it doesn’t really matter, as, it is completely covered. I purchased some tiny LED rice lights & will bling this up nearer the big Yo Ho Ho. Enjoy!I used 3.25mm needles, but 4mm will be fine & anything in between. Apart from the wreath covering, everything else was knit on a pair of double pointed needles. A small amount of gold, or, silver yarn is needed for the bell & light ends - you could use a golden yellow instead if you don’t have it. I used some Sirdar snuggly to, but white dk would work too.
