i know it's a bit early for x-mas crafting
especially when it is such a quick and easy project..
but i couldn't resist posting
what i did last night.. :)
a super cute knitted advent wreath
all you need is some bulky yarn
matching needles,
one straw wreath (don't know if this is the right word?!)
tapestry needle,
crepe paper matching the yarns colour
ribbon and some decoration
and here is the how-to:
measure around your straw wreath
to figure out the width of your knitting
you also have to measure, or calculate the circumference
of your wreath
in my case this was about 18 cm in width
and the circumference was 94 cm
make a swatch with your yarn
my yarn knits up to a gauge of 1 st per cm
provisionally co the st amount you need to get the desired width
and begin working in garter st
you will not need to knit to the total length
cause this will stretch out very much
you may want to check the length from time to time
i didn't do that, so i had to ripp back a few rows
now undo the provisional co and graft
the pieces together
you can see that i grafted knitwise
to have some plain space for my ribbon
cut your crepe paper in 7cm straps
and wrap around your wreath
now place the knitted piece on your wreath
and do a simple whipstitchseam
to get your wreath wrapped with your knitted piece
and decorate.....
hope a few like this as much as i do
happy crafting

ReplyDeleteI love the idea. It is so doable, but with real candles it might not be re-usable??? Oder? What do you think?
na ja, man sollte evtl schon Kerzentellerchen
ReplyDeletedrunterstecken... hatte gestern nur keine hier im
Haus ;)

Vielen Dank!!!
Thank you for sharing your inspiration - this is one of the most gorgeous wreaths I have seen in a long time.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I was browsing for idea for a door wreath and found this. I think I will make it into a door wreath for spring/summer in bright colors. How creative, thank you for sharing :)

Tolle Idee...ich hoffe, es noch bis Sonntag zu schaffen! Mal sehen, was mein Wollkorb hergibt. Danke!
ReplyDeleteAdvent Wreath, sure. However for a YEAR AROUND IDEA - how about adding a bottom n using it for a baby bumper for nap time. Easily transported from room to room. Also, the same construction could be for pets - cats n dogs would love it as a bed. It would make a great doll bed, too.
ReplyDeleteChanging the width n length easily changes the finished size.
Also, changing the color, the wreath idea is changed for Seasons n Holidays.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!! This is such a great, ez, n fun idea. Really gets creative ideas popping!
