Springtime Wreath

I've had a desire to crochet myself a wreath for a long time :: for as long as I've been crocheting flowers I've wanted to make a flowery wreath to make use of the flowery flowers. But the truth is I could never really be bothered to think about the logistics of making the actual wreath itself. Something a little over-complicated about wreath construction. Too complex. Too brain-freezy to think about. But I did really want to be able to make one and the idea would not go away. It sat there patiently in the tangled ric-rac of my creative mind, awaiting a time when I might be able to give it a go.

Over the past year or so I've been drooling over some beautiful wreathy inspiration in Flickrville :: there's even a group pool dedicated to this very thing. Yes it's true! Check it out, it's called "we love wreaths too!". And recently I've created my own little Wreathy Gallery over at Flickr, which you can look at here. Scrummy aren't they?

 

Yes, I do adore wreaths. Love that they are so pretty and decorative, but essentially non-essential. Frivolous. A bit of fun really aren't they? And I do like to have a bit of pretty frivolous fun around the Attic, sure I do.

So.............A tutorial for this little Springtime Wreath? 

Of course I can do you a tutorial!!!

In fact, it's all done and dusted!!!

Especially for you my friends!!!

So you can hook yourselves your own bit of Pretty Frivolous Fun!!!

!!!! Hahaha, I do apologise for the excessive exclaiming, but I'm a tad overexcited about this wreathy business, do forgive me !!!!

hmm, yes I'm calming down now...you can find the tutorial in the usual Sidebar-location, or click  HERE to find it.

You must promise to let me know if you give it a go, perhaps post some pretty and frivolous wreathy photos over at the Attic24 Inspired group on Flickr. Yes, please do, I'd like that very much.

Lots of love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Edited to add :: thanks to those of you who let me know the link to the tutorial was not working, so sorry!! Its fixed now xxx

Lucy this is gorgeous! Really pretty and probably something I just might be able to do. I'm back with my granny squares and I'm loving it this time around. Can't see the tutorial either? Is it something I'm doing wrong?

Oh Lucy, Help!! I love the idea of the wreath so much, I wanted to start right away, but the link to the tutorial gives an empty page. And I can't find the link under tutorials either....

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I added this wreath to my millions of UFOs. I love your tutorials, I already tried your ripple blanket, your snowflakes and just yesterday I tackled the hexagons.

[RachelM]

That's really pretty! :)

[Siobhan]

I really like your tutorial - thanks Lucy! I think I would really enjoy making this as I like how you put it all together; it looks like it would be fun. I wish I was one of those people with a stash of yarn that could just get going on things right away. But you have to have a yarn shop nearby for that I think. Where did all the wooliness go? Nothing here at all. I do get cross about it sometimes! Thank goodness for the Internet though. Appreciate all your hard work on this, it really is so pretty and you explain it really well. Thank you.

Hello Lucy, I found your blog by accident about a week ago and enjoy it every day. I used one foto of the blanket for my own blog, I hope you don't mind. Your blog made me crochet again! I am from the Netherlands and I live variable in Holland and in Sweden. Thank for all the inspiration and sorry for my bad english. Bye!

[Petit Filoux]

I'm definitely going to give this a go one day - I'm going to teach myself how to crochet and I will make one of these, they're just too beautiful!!!! Thank you!!!

Hi Lucy,
The tutorial is brilliant as usual. I think i might have a go.Do you think it would look good with yellow flowers, daffodil-like, for Easter? Oh and were did you get that heart shaped hook from? It is soooo lovely.
Clever you
Love Carole from Rossendale xxxxxx

HI Lucy, I just LOVE this! When the photo popped up on the screen I literally gasped!
I would love it if you would drop by my international blog linking party (every Sunday-Tues) and link to this and anything else you'd like to share, I love to share this with my readers the following week and have some representation from England as well! all the best, I'm so happy I found you!

[shari]

[Isobel]

It's is so pretty, Lucy! Like everything you make. I must say that you have inspired me a lot since I found your blog. Thank you so very much for taking the time from you so busy life now with Little B to make these tutorial for us to have a go. I really do appreciate as I know how hard it is to make pretty things like these with a little one.
Take care!
