This is a fun project for a gray, cold day. It’s also a great beginner project so everyone can join in the fun! I have tweaked the original pattern so that you knit the leaves in one long chain; it’s faster and also eliminates much sewing-in of tails!

All you need to get started is small amount of stash yarn, wire clothes hangers and a little wire. Finish the wreath off with some fresh cut greens, berries, or an air plant.

Materials

Yarn

Small amount of any yarn; the thicker the yarn, the bigger the leaves, the fewer you will need to complete a circle.
