Super Bulky yarn makes such cozy projects and because it’s thick, it typically works up quickly and shows off some amazing texture. I’ve been trying to be mindful of my yarn stash, not adding to it and using up what’s already available to me. I found some skeins of Bernat Softee Chunky on my shelf, grabbed two and went to work to see what I could come up with. The result is a simple neck warmer pattern that would definitely keep you warm and toasty or would make a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member.

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…
