Who says countdown wreaths / advents are only for Christmas. I love a good
countdown to a special event. It can make things easier for those special people - both children & adults - who need to have everything planned out. For the elderly with Alzheimer’s, and, for children of any age. Make one with extra pockets for sweets on the back, or, without. Add numbers for Children – or, not. Add one Pumpkin per day, or, remove them, the choices are endless. With spider’s web / without.
This is so easy to knit & adjust to any wreath form you may have - the pattern even shows you how to make one from scratch!
DK yarn for the wreath covering & the pumpkins. I used Wendy Stella in solar for the centre back, which is a chunky yarn. DK would work just as well
