How to make a bow for the wreath

Add a simple crochet bow to give your mini wreath ornament a classic Christmas look. This bow is quick to make and uses only basic stitches.

Bow pattern

1. Ch 5.
2. Work 3 tr in the 5th ch from the hook.
3. Ch 4, then sl st into the same ch to complete the first loop of the bow.
4. Without fastening off, continue in the same ch: ch 4, 3 tr, ch 4, sl st into the same ch.
5. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Attaching the bow to your wreath

You can attach the bow in two easy ways:

• Hot glue: Add a small dot of glue to the back of the bow and press it onto the bottom of the wreath. Hold for a few seconds until set.
• Sewing: Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to stitch the bow securely onto the wreath through its center knot.

Both methods work — glue is quick and easy, while sewing creates a sturdier, washable finish.

Adding mini pom poms (ornament decorations)

Mini pom poms make your crochet wreath ornament look like it’s decorated with tiny ornaments.

1. Arrange pom poms around the wreath.
2. Add a small dot of hot glue where each pom pom will go.
3. Press the pom pom into place and hold for a few seconds.
4. Repeat until your wreath is decorated, then let the glue cool completely.

👉 Tip: For a washable option, sew the pom poms on with a yarn needle.
