Crochet Christmas Wreath

This crochet Christmas wreath pattern takes me back. My mom used to make a lot of these during the holiday season. She’d attach them to packages as gift toppers that was like a bonus gift for the recipient.

You can hang these Christmas wreaths on your tree as ornaments but my mom would also attach pin-backs to some of them so we could wear them on our coats during the Christmas season. These are quick and easy to make and a great way to use up leftover yarn.
