You knew these were coming, right? It’s just about mid-November, so that means it is perfectly acceptable to start making ornaments for your tree or to gift to family. These are quick and easy and if you liked the Simple Statement Wreath but didn’t think you had a place for one in your house, these would be a nice substitute.
Let’s get started!
Materials
2″ cabone ring (I used wooden ones by Boye
)3.75mm (F) hook
small amount (approx. 10 yards) of worsted weight yarn
one: start with a slip-knot around your hook and grab a loop from front to back through the ring (two loops on hook)
two: yarn-over and pull through both loops on hook
three: grab another loop from front to back through the ring (two loops on hook)
four: yarn-over and pull through both loops on hook
repeat steps three & four until you have 45 stitches around your ring. If you are going with a larger or smaller ring, make sure you end with a multiple of THREE.
Slip-stitch to first stitch, then begin border rounds.
Border Round 1: Ch 1 and SC into same stitch, ch 4, *skip 2 stitches, sc into next stitch, ch 4; repeat from * until 2 stitches remain. Ch 2, DC into first SC. (15 loops if you began with 45 stitches around the ring)
Border Round 2: Ch 5, SC into first ch-4 loop, ch 5, *sc into next ch-4 loop, ch 5; repeat from * around, ending with a slip stitch into top of DC of last round. (15 loops)
Fasten off, weave in ends.
Use those regular wire ornament hooks to hang them from your tree. Or string them up like a garland. Or make a mobile. Or blow your own mind by making a wreath out of them! A bold statement wreath out of simple statement ornaments based on the simple statement wreath. That’s just wild. I’ll stop, now. I’m sure you can come up with more on your own. Have fun!
aww they look so cute! haven’t crochet in ages, i think this is a good reason for me to start back again! :) xx
That is so cute!! Maybe I’ll go and give them a try!
Esther.
im going to try it
What would you make with them? I think they are pretty though.
I made two wreaths as gifts and they were very much loved, so…looks like ornaments might be next! Love this pattern…simple and quick, but really pretty!
Oh I think a. Wreath would be pretty.
great idea! I can’t believe how many amazing diy projects can be found these days :)
How cute!!! I totally love the big crocheted wreath tutorial you made~ can’t wait to try this one out. *^_^*
They are beautiful! I’m definitely going to try this.
ooh! I love these in this size! I’m going to make some!
Aww these are cute! I’m definitely going to make a few of these in Christmas colors and decorate my apartment!
Oh, these are fantastic! They’d be adorable tied to presents.
I love these! I’m going to do this with my daughter!
I love these. Thanks for posting this. I’m new at crocheting (all I’ve done are squares) but would love to try these to tie onto presents this Christmas!
cheers!
These are so pretty.
Gorgeous!
aww that are so cute! I am so excited for Christmas. The other year I made ornaments for the whole family. I may just have to do that again this year with these. Thanks for sharing!!!
These are lovely! My husband & I are celebrating our first Christmas together this year, and I should make some of these to decorate our tree. :)
Those are so cute! I can’t wait to make a few for my tree. I would love to share your link with my readers if you didn’t mind.
Oh how cute! You can also reuse/repurpose them as wall decor after Christmas! :)
I love this idea! I saw the earlier post for the Statement Wreath and applied it to a washer and made a “pendant” out of it. My daughter stole the first one I made, so the second is hanging around my neck by some ribbon. I’ve already had a a few requests for some at work too. So thank you for the idea!! :D
These are beautiful! What great little gift sets these would make! Thanks for sharing!
Got the supplies to make these today! ;)
These are really gorgeous, just finished my first one and I’m very pleased with how it turned out, haven’t crocheted in years! Thank you for this simple yet elegant tutorial!
PS. They look great hanging in the window :)
Thank you for this wonderfull idea, I have made them as well and attached a tiny angel made of beads on it.
Amazing! :-)
What a nice idea, I like it very much. I linked to your site from my german blog: http://schoenstricken.de/2012/11/hakel-ornamente/
I hope that is ok for you.

Thank you so much for this pattern! I made some last year as gifts and am making more this year as well.
Thank you for the lovely idea of using these wreaths on presents.

Nice! I tried without the ring . it looks fine but better with the ring. I will improvise
I have hundreds of those white round Scotch tape cores (don’t ask – LOL!!!) I started saving them in the office for about five years before I retired and several other girls started saving them for me!!! They are a little wider than the ring, but I wonder how they’d turn out? I guess I’ll try it !!! Thanks for the idea…
They just might! good luck!
I would love to make these but have no idea how to crochet. The instructions are like a foreign language to me. A video would be so helpful :)

Do you have any tips for someone like myself who would love to learn to crochet? Often times books are just not very helpful. Thanks!
[…] lovely ornaments. The first one here and the second […]
Lisa…..I think I recognize your name. Didn’t you organize, along with some special friends of yours, a 2013 pre-Stampin’Up convention swap using the 25th theme for cards?
I know this web site gives quality based content and additional stuff,
is there any other web site which presents such data in quality?
