MATERIALS:
Bernat Blanket Yarn OR 2 strands of ww yarn
Purchased wreath form, or make your own as described with 2 styrofoam plates.

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.

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:
