Crochet Charming Christmas Wreath Ornament
You begin by crocheting single crochet stitches tightly around a small plastic ring. Next, you add a circle of raised popcorn stitches that look like bright winter berries. Then, you crochet pretty scalloped shell borders along the outside edge and create a hanging loop. Finally, you crochet two tiny bell cups, thread them onto a chain cord with a bead, and attach them under the wreath to finish your piece.
Difficulty Level

Level: Easy to Advanced Beginner

Why: The pattern uses standard crochet stitches like single and double crochets. Working around a plastic ring gives the wreath a sturdy shape without tricky tension problems. The only steps requiring extra attention are closing the 5-dc popcorn stitches and shaping the tiny 3D bells.

Special Stitch Tutorial: 5-dc Popcorn Stitch
This stitch creates the round, 3D berry-like bumps around the wreath:
-
Work 5 double crochets (dc) all into the exact same stitch.
-
Gently pull up the loop on your hook so it doesn’t unravel, and carefully take your hook out of the loop.
-
Insert your hook from front to back through the top loops of the very first double crochet of the 5-dc group.
-
Catch the dropped working loop with your hook.
-
Pull that loop completely through the first stitch. This pulls the edges together and pops the cluster forward into a plump ball.
-
Chain 3 to lock it and create the space for the next round.
