MATERIALS:

Bernat Blanket Yarn OR 2 strands of ww yarn

Purchased wreath form, or make your own as described with 2 styrofoam plates.

Sticky packing tape if making your own wreath form

8 mm knitting needles (worked flat)

Yarn needle

INSTRUCTIONS:

My main focus with designing is to produce a pattern that requires the least amount of instructions, for ease of construction.You can find ALL my patterns on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/emi-harrington Including over 380 FREE patterns.

HOW TO MAKE THE WREATH FORM with styrofoam plates.

Place a round object in the center, trace around, cut out the center. Tape the 2 plates together, ON THE OUTSIDE EDGES, insides together. There will be a space (cavity) between the 2 plates, stuff them with crushed

newspaper, (or plastic grocery bags if using outside). Tuck the stuffing in snugly, then add more tape on the inside to hold everything inside.

1. Copyright: Emi Harrington, please do not copy or share in any manner.

Working with Bernat Blanket yarn, (or 2 strands of ww yarn) and 8 mm needles:

cast on 24 stitches

for a wreath as shown in this pattern.

(My form measured 7 inches around, so a rectangle of 7 inches by 20 inches was worked for this specific sized wreath form.) If you are using a purchased wreath form, you will need to work up a swatch, measure around your wreath form, and calculate the correct number of stitches to cast on.

(Option: Work up a rectangle that only covers the front of the wreath, and then staple the rectangle on with an office stapler, or hot glue to the wreath form.)

2. See a video demo of how to prepare all the components of this wreath, in my Crochet version here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx_rCwgNFkk&t=87s (Wreath form, ribbon bow, assembly.)

Knit every row until the rectangle will wrap around the outside of the wreath form. Cast off with a long yarn end,

thread it into a needle, sew the 2 ends together to form a tube.

3. Slide the wreath form inside the tube, and sew together all around on the back.

Decorate as desired. (Knit berries and leaves pattern available in my Ravelry store:
