Crocheted Wreaths for the Home
Crocheted Wreaths for the Home
Wreaths are not just for Christmas - they can be used to decorate your home all year round! Anna Nikipirowicz shows you how to create sumptuous crocheted wreaths and other decorations that will grace your home and look beautiful, whatever the season.
There is a wide variety to choose from, including spring, summer, autumn and winter wreaths plus a gorgeous succulents wreath and Easter, Halloween and Christmas wreaths. These lovely yarny creations are festooned with flowers, leaves and other decorations such as birds, owls, pumpkins, stars, bunnies and foxes. If you love the look but don't want to make an entire wreath, Anna also includes other smaller decorations such as garlands and terrariums.
There are also three delightful tiny wreaths to make, featuring a hedgehog, a mouse and a robin. Each main project has a smaller accompanying project to make, and if you love crochet, you'll love Anna's imaginative designs.

Anna is also a workshop tutor, teaching knitting and crochet across the UK. Anna lives in Hertfordshire with her husband Dave and two cats, Ollie and Brick. She is a keen blogger and runs her website - www.moochka.co.uk - where she shares her love of knitting and crochet.
