This crochet pattern is simple and worked in rounds. I use abbreviations according to UK crochet language. The finished wreath is approximately 22cm (8.75") in diameter. This wreath could make a beautiful Christmas decoration if adorned with holly, mistletoe and ivy (all these patterns are featured in my Christmas Crochet Pattern E-Book).

3mm crochet hook
scissors
yarn needle
Other Materials Needed:
polyester/toy stuffing (approx. 33g)
4ply/fingering weight cotton yarn in green, brown or whatever colour you prefer (approx. 45g)
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
tr = treble crochet
tr2tog = treble crochet two stitches together (decrease)
sl st = slipstitch
sts = stitches
R = round or row
[...] = repeat instructions in square brackets
