I just made this today for Memorial Day. It turned out great. Thanks for publishing the pattern!
May have to make this one. My current crocheted wreath has seen so much use the red is turning orange!
Hi, I was wondering if you allow items to be sold from this pattern?
Thanks so much!

Hi Rosanna 🙂 Yes, you may absolutely sell any items you make from my patterns. Thanks so much for asking and good luck!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
thank you so much for the pattern I am making this!
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!
Awesome!! Thanks so much, Tamara!
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.
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!
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.
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.
I got it done in time for the week before the Fourth! Thank you for making the holiday so extra adorably American!
It looks great, Suzanne! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
