Skill Level: According to the tutor, this pattern is relatively simple and suitable for beginners. All you need are foundation chains, working basic stitches in the back loops only and then joining the two swirly pieces together into a wreath.
Tutorial Span: Just 12 Minutes
Customization Tips: Traditional red, green, and white are always festive, but you can opt for metallic or pastel shades for a modern twist. Once your wreath is crocheted, you can add embellishments like tiny bells, beads, or buttons to mimic holly berries or ornaments. A useful tip is to ensure that the yarn ends are securely hidden within the wreath for a neat finish.

In the tutorial below, the instructor explains each step in detail, making the process easy to follow.

It provides enough time for viewers to follow along without feeling rushed.
- Introduction and Materials: This tutorial demonstrates how to crochet a mini Christmas wreath ornament. The instructor uses 100% cotton yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. The wreath is designed to be a simple and elegant holiday decoration.
- Creating the Chains: The wreath starts by chaining 31 stitches to form the foundation. The instructor then turns the work and begins working in the back loops of the chain to create the spiral shape.
- Single Crochets in Spiral Rounds: The key technique is working in spiral rounds using single crochets. Each chain is worked into two single crochets, which creates a total of 60 stitches after the first round. The same process is repeated for the second piece of the wreath.
- Combining Two Pieces: Once both pieces of the wreath are complete, they are twisted together to form the spiral wreath shape. No additional stitches are needed to attach them; the pieces naturally align due to their equal size.
- Securing the Ends: After twisting the pieces, the tutorial shows how to tie a knot with the loose yarn ends to secure the wreath. The ends are then hidden using a needle.
- Adding a Bow: To finish the wreath, a decorative ribbon bow is added. The bow is made separately and attached to the wreath with glue or regular adhesive.
- Creating the Loop: The final step is creating a chain of 30 stitches to form the loop for hanging the wreath on a tree or any other surface. The loop is sewn onto the wreath securely.
