FAQ
What do you put under a crochet wreath?
Most crochet wreaths go on a foam (Styrofoam) wreath form, a straw form or a metal hoop. Foam forms are light and easy to pin into. Metal hoops are good for thinner wreaths with loops or chains. Each pattern tells you the size to buy, so check it before you shop.
Can I hang a crochet wreath outside?
You can on a covered porch, but rain and sun will fade and stretch yarn over time. Acrylic holds up better than cotton or wool. Avoid wreaths with stuffing or faux fur outdoors. If your door gets weather, hang it on the inside of a storm door or indoors.
How long does it take to crochet a wreath?
A simple wreath with bulky yarn can take an afternoon. Wreaths with lots of flowers, snowflakes or stuffed pieces may take a few evenings. Start your Christmas wreath in early November so you have time to make the little extras without rushing.
Pick a wreath, grab a foam form, and give your front door a handmade welcome.
