12 Weeks of Christmas Crochet Along NOEL Wreath pattern sponsored by Red Heart Yarns.
Did anyone else feel like it was Summer just last week? We are knee deep in snow (literally) and we had green grass just a few days ago. Winter is NOT messing around! As soon as those first few flakes started to fall Christmas fever hit us hard! The first decoration to go up in our home is always the wreath on our front door.
I am so excited to be a part of the annual 12 Weeks of Christmas CAL organized by Maria of Pattern Paradise, and sponsored by Red Heart Yarns!

Each year for the #12WeeksOfChristmasCAL we are asked to choose a yarn we would like to work with for our individual designs. Last year I chose Red Heart Super Saver to make my Christmas Baskets. You can see the design and free pattern HERE. This year I knew I wanted to design a type of bunting, or wreath accessory to spruce up a plain wreath I have had for a few years now. I wanted something festive and sparkly and knew that the colors in With Love Metallics would be perfect!
Materials
Yarn: 3 colors of Worsted Weight #4 medium yarn. Sample made with Red Heart With Love Metallic in Aran, Black, and Red.
Hook: H (5 mm) for the Bunting and K (6.5 mm) for the Bow. I used my Leither Hooks. Use coupon code SINCERELYPAM to save 10% off your purchase!

FINISHING
Using a tapestry needle and scrap Color B yarn, sew the Appliqués on to the Bunting.
With a long piece of Color A (approx 30”) and a tapestry needle, thread through the top of each Bunting to hang onto the wreath.
Block as needed to keep corners crisp and bunting smooth. Check out my easy tutorial HERE.
Attach each piece to a wreath, or other Christmas decor of your choice! Use the photo below as inspiration.
