I made this wreath and absolutely love it! I would post a picture but that option is not available.
Sharron Jones says
Lovely! I bought 18″ and 20″ wreath forms and your pattern was easily adjusted to fit the 18″ (I haven’t finished the 20″ but am confident it will work up just as good! Thank you! I’d post a pic but couldn’t figure out how! LOL!
Pat says
What do you use for a hanger?
Sharron Jones says
I held all three colors together and using a K hook chained 20 slipped stitched together to make a loop then sewed it to the back of the wreath.

Rosanna Judah-Elliott says
Hi, I was wondering if you allow items to be sold from this pattern?
Thanks so much!
Rosanna
Kara says
Hi Rosanna 🙂 Yes, you may absolutely sell any items you make from my patterns. Thanks so much for asking and good luck!
Denise says
How many chains do you start your magic ring with for the stars? The pattern doesn’t say and I’m at that step. The tutorial says to use the number of chains per pattern but I don’t see it listed here. Thanks!
Kara says
Hi Denise 🙂 You will be working all the stitches from Round 1 in the magic ring, starting with the ch 1 indicated at the beginning of the round. Keep in mind the magic ring is an alternate to making a beginning chain and the forming a loop. If you would rather, you can do that though … just chain about 4 chains and join and then continue the pattern at Round 1. Hope that helps!
Denise says
Thanks, I was able to figure it out after I sat down with my hook and yarn. I’m not used to have it written out that way. Thanks again!
Evaline says
I just found the site and just love all the different patterns you have on it. I am going to do flag wreath I like to do something different on holidays. Thank you for the site and hope to use allot of patterns.
Jennifer says
Thanks for publishing this! I have seen this pattern a few times and thought it may be too complicated for a somewhat- beginner but it was very easy to understand and super quick to work up! Came out great and I have received may compliments on it! Thanks again!
Randi says

Love this wreath Kara! I feature it on Moogly this morning: http://www.mooglyblog.com/12-free-crochet-wreath-patterns/
Thanks again for sharing your patterns!
Kara says
Awesome!! Thanks so much, Tamara!
Annie says
Love the pattern! Bought a 12 in form from the store. Got home started crocheting. Checked to see if it would go around the form. Perfect! Continued. Found I had to add more rows to fit around? When I went to stitch it together I could t get it all around. I had to stretch it. In some spots it doesn’t go all the way together. It’s ok though. No one will see the back. I’m starting the stars now. It says start with magic ring. The video says chain the amount the pattern calls for. But I don’t see an amount! I know the 4th has come and gone but I want to make this for a friend whose husband was deployed. Thanks. I’ve never used magic ring before.
Kara says
Hi Annie 🙂 Glad the base of the wreath worked out for you! To do the stars, just ch 1 after the magic ring and start the stitches are noted in the pattern. Hope that helps!
Nettie says
If I may say so there are prettier 2′ star patterns on the internet that have more defined points, just google 2″ crocheted star pattern. I used red heart yarn and followed the pattern exactly and had to add 7 more striped rows for it to go around a 12′ form. I also made it 5 single crochets wider so it wouldnt be so tight to the form.
Nettie says
Just google it to find the instructions on how to do a magic ring. You can google anything that you don’t know how to do.
Suzanne Broadhurst says

Beverly Nulik says
I love the 4th of July Wreath, but it took 25 pages of precious paper to get to it. What a waste.
Kara says
Hi Beverly 🙂 Glad you like the pattern. You should be able to choose the page range to print on your printer. That is what I usually do when printing off the internet. Hope that helps.
Suzanne Broadhurst says
There’s also a site called Print Friendly (i have no connection to them, just heard about the site through friends).
It has made printing crochet patterns so much easier. You can either enter the URL of the page – or use their little bookmarklet – and it will give you options, such as Remove Images and Delete This. You can delete the unnecessary bits.
http://www.printfriendly.com/
Also, when printing patterns, it’s important to go to the actual page of the post rather than the main blog link, otherwise the print button thinks you want everything, not just what you see on screen. Easiest way to make sure you are on the post’s page is to click the title of it.
Hope that helps!
Kara says
I just downloaded the plugin in for it so now there is an icon at the bottom of my posts for people to print from. Thanks for the tip 🙂
Suzanne Broadhurst says
Oh! I didn’t know about the plug-in for blogs. Yay, gets even better! Thank *you* for the return tip. 🙂
Suzanne says
Was just pondering how to make a Fourth of July wreath last night. Had a general idea what I wanted to do, then got the email with your pattern from All Free Crochet with what I was pondering … but easier! Thank you!
Kara says
Yay! So glad it came in handy to you. Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy it 🙂
