You can make as many flowers as you wish, depending on the size of your wreath. In this
pattern, we made 35 different flowers for a wreath with a 14” diameter.
Cardboard wreath
In order to make a wreath, you will need a cardboard cutout. Measure the diameter of
approximately 14”.
The width of the wreath is 1.5”. You may choose a smaller or bigger size (make it up to 2”
to have two flowers next to each other).
Assembling
Place the flowers on the wreath and start attaching them to the cardboard. Do not choose
thick cardboard that will be hard to pierce with a sewing needle. You may sew the flowers to the cardboard wreath or use hot glue.
All extra loose yarns on each flower should be weaved in by now.
Leaf garland
"Ch20, tr2 in the 4th chain from the hook, picot, tr2 in the same st, ch3 and sl st into the
same st, sl st into the next st.
Repeat *these instructions until you have 20 leaves (or as many as you want).
To complete the look, wrap the garland around the flower wreath and adjust the leaves
and flowers. Use any ch20 part of the garland as the hanger of the project.
Make another cardboard cutout or baking paper to cover the backside of the project. Use
paper glue to glue the cutout to the backside of the project.
