Make it Monday - Crochet Spring Wreath

Last week we had a little promise of Spring.

 

It was that week when you begin to think that winter really might finally be over.

 

We saw some blue skies.

 

 
 
The boys got to play with their friends at the park.
 
 

 

 
Daffodils really opened up properly.
 

 

 
 
And I noticed the blossom on the trees for the first time.
 
 
 
Today, however, it feels like we have stepped right back to winter, with snow showers on and off all day!
 
Still, back to last week and that glimpse of Spring weather.
 
After making this snowman wreath before Christmas, I decided he was too cute to have up for just a Christmas decoration and made him into a winter decoration rather than just a Christmas one.
 

 

 
But as we got into March I felt that I needed to make a Spring wreath to hang up instead.
 
I bought the same size of foam ring, crocheted a rectangle in green this time rather than the blue and stitched it around the back of the ring.
 
Then I added some daffodils and a couple of extra little pink flowers. The pattern for the daffodils can be found on the Attic 24 blog.
 
I'm so pleased with how it turned out.
 

 

I've decided now to make one for each season. I'm aiming to make a Summer wreath to hang up round about June, an Autumn one for September time and then the sweet snowman can go back up in December!

 

Now please Spring, can you come back again?
