Here is a simple step-by-step tutorial to make the cute mini crochet Christmas wreath ornaments shown in the picture.
(Good news: these are very easy — no complicated stitches!)
🎄 DETAILED MINI CROCHET WREATH TUTORIAL
These wreaths are NOT fully crocheted — the “rope” is made by crocheting long tubes / cords, twisting them, and shaping them into a ring.
I will explain slowly and clearly.
🧶 MATERIALS (exact requirements)
- Yarn: medium weight (No.4) or any soft yarn
- Color A: Green
- Color B: Red or White
- Hook: 4 mm or 4.5 mm
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
🧵 PART 1 — CROCHET THE COLORED ROPES
You will make two ropes (A & B). When twisted together, they look like candy-cane stripes.
✔ Rope Style: Single Crochet Tube (very easy)
Rope A — Green
- Chain 30
- In 2nd chain from hook, make 1 single crochet (sc).
- Continue 1 sc in each chain to the end.
- Fasten off.
Make sure to leave 10–12 cm tails at both ends (important for tying).
Rope B — Red or White
Repeat the same steps with color B.
If you want a bigger wreath, chain 35–40 instead of 30.
🟢🔴 PART 2 — TWIST THE TWO ROPES
- Lay Rope A next to Rope B.
- Hold the ends together.
- Twist them tightly clockwise like a candy cane.
- Make sure the green and red alternate evenly.
Tip:
✔ Twist more tightly for a neat spiral
✔ Twist loosely for a softer striped look
🟢🔴 PART 3 — FORM THE WREATH SHAPE
- Bend the twisted rope into a circle.
- Match the two ends together.
- Tie the ends securely with one of the long yarn tails.
- Hide the knot inside the wreath by tucking it in with a hook.
Now you have the wreath ring!
🎀 PART 4 — MAKE THE LITTLE BOW
This is how to make the small bow shown in the photo.
Step-by-step:
- Cut a piece of yarn (15–20 cm).
- Wrap it around your fingers to form two loops.
- Cross the loops and tie a simple knot (like tying shoelaces).
- Adjust the loops so they look symmetrical.
- Trim the ends neatly.
- Tie the bow onto the top of the wreath.
- Use a needle to secure it tightly.
Optional: leave a small loop at the top if you want to hang it.
✨ FINISHING TOUCHES
- Adjust the twist so the stripes look smooth.
- Flatten the wreath slightly with your fingers.
- Make many wreaths in red/green, green/white, or white/red like the picture.
