Today I’m going to show you how to make a classic Christmas wreath ornament. By crocheting two “curly cue’s” and twisting them around each other, it makes a fun effect that creates a wreath when the ends are joined together. Like the granny square, this style of ornament has been around for a very long time with different variations and tutorials.
You only need to know how to chain and make the half double crochet stitch so this is a fairly beginner friendly project. These wreaths are a cute addition to your holiday tree or even as an accent when attached to a gift bag. Learn how to crochet this classic ornament below…

Do you have one skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick sitting on your shelf? I have a very quick and very easy neck warmer pattern just for you!

Using the extended single crochet stitch, this neck warmer will help to keep the chill away while also maintaining a lovely drape and stretch.
