Christmas in July! Are you looking for a lovely small wreath ornament that is easy and quick to crochet? I love this Christmas Wreath Ornament and have made several very quickly in worsted weight #4 yarn and mercerized cotton, and I prefer the mercerized cotton as it gives the wreath ornament a smooth, elegant finish. The pattern calls for simple single and double crochet stitches.
