get together your yarn, hook and tools
I’m a big fan of getting together everything I need before I start crocheting as it removes a mental hurdle to finishing off what I start. I recommend keeping all of your yarn, hook and tools together in a handy place – it’ll make it easier to keep crocheting because you’ll have everything you need on hand, plus they’re so lovely to look at.
To make your Christmas Wreaths you will need:
- 100g mini skein of Homelea Bliss merino wool, or 20m (787in) of a yarn that is 1cm (0.4in) thick.
- 15.75mm (Q) crochet hook
- scissors
- tape measure or ruler
- the desire to make a gorgeous Christmas decoration
This pattern can be made with different sized yarn, simply choose a hook size that corresponds to the yarn thickness.
about the yarn
Homelea Bliss is a super chunky / super bulky merino wool yarn that is soft and squishy. This special yarn is fully grown and processed in Australia with no overseas processing (it’s uncommon for an Australian wool yarn to not have some overseas processing).
The twist in Homelea Bliss means that what you make will be an heirloom that you will use for many, many years. It will keep its good looks for a long time, it won’t cover your home, or you, in fluff and will only pill slightly after repeated use.
Homelea Bliss is about 1cm / 0.4in thick.
Get together your yarn, hook and crochet tools and then you’re ready to start crocheting!
