Hand Knitted Christmas Wreath Tree Decoration

What you will need
One pair of 3.25mm double pointed needles
Dark green yarn in DK
Small amount of red yarn for bow.

Instructions

Step 1. Start by casting on 3 sts.
Step 2. Knit one row (Do not turn the work).

Step 3. Slide stitches to other side of needle.

Step 4. Carry on in this way until the cord measures around 16 in.

Step 5. Cut yarn and thread through tapestry needle. Thread through stitches on needle, pull to close, tighten and fasten off.

Step 6. Fold the cord in half and twist. Bring the two ends together to form a circle and sew together, leaving a tail of thread.

Step 7. Make a bow using the red yarn.
Step 8. Sew or glue bow into place, then make a loop using the green yarn.

And now you have made your Xmas Wreath.
I use 3.25mm needles to make these, but of course, you can choose to use different size needles.
