I haven't crocheted much of late, so as I have had a few days off I thought I'd attempt a bright summer wreath...
Before I started to crochet I measured the ring's circumference using some wool. This would guide me on how much I needed to do in order to cover the ring.
I used 3 different types of DK wool, a 4.5 size hook and double crochet stitches, alternating the wool colour every three rows.
After joining up the ends of my work, I wrapped it around the ring and stitched it together (not being too particular about neatness as it would be hidden when hung).
Finally I added a few crochet flowers and a couple of random stitch leaves.

That looks amazing! Just double crochets, that's it? I would love to try this for a fall wreath!
Yes just dc's. I am not very experienced, so simple dc's is great for me!

This is so adorable. I love the colors too. Thanks for sharing with my party.
came to visit via Ginger Snap Crafts. Love the little wreath that you have created! I don't yet have a styrofoam wreath, but do have a scarf that doesn't really work round my neck so I will try it on a a wreath form -- Great Idea, and simple too!
That's fab for a first attempt and will be very popular at Christmas no doubt :)

What a great idea for a super cute wreath! I bet I could also make this, normally I only do small things but this would be cute and wouldn't take up much room when it's packed away:) I love your countdown to Christmas. I am pinning this wreath and starting a Christmas Board on my pinterest page:) Thanks for the reminder about getting ready for Christmas:)
I'm just learning how to crochet. Pinned this to make later, thanks for the inspiration!! Absolutely love the colors you used.
Keep up the amazing work!! New follower :)
I was wondering how you go it to wrap around the wreath! I am so going to have to try and make this! How did you make the flowers?
I love this wreath! I think it's colorful and really really cute! I'm so glad to see you back up! ***HUGS***
