INSTRUCTIONS:

Wreath Pt. 1: Green yarn & 4.5 mm hook

• CH 32, SL ST to connect ring.

• RND 1: SC 32 (32 sts)

• RND 2: (DC, INC) X16 (48 sts)

• SC, SL ST, Tie off.

With white yarn and your 2.5 mm hook, make the teeth.

• SL ST into the starting RND in the center of the wreath.

• TEETH: CH 3, turn (skipping the first loop) SL ST 2 back to the base of the CH. SL ST into the SAME stitch the CH is in.

• SL ST 3. Repeat the TEETH instructions (CH 3)

Move 4 sts ahead in the RND and rejoin with your white yarn. You will be repeating the steps from above only this time you will create 5 teeth instead of 4.

• SL ST into the starting RND in the center of the wreath.

• TEETH: CH 3, turn (skipping the first loop) SL ST 2 back to the base of the CH. SL ST into the SAME stitch the CH is in.

• SL ST 3. Repeat the TEETH instructions (CH 3)

Tie off.

Insert your yellow safety eye in between the SC & DC RNDS. Make sure you place them symmetrically above the teeth. Secure them with their backing. (I used some wire cutters and trimmed the post on the back of the safety eye down so that it doesn't poke through the back of the wreath - do this at your own risk. Be careful that you don't cut too much off. You need to be able to fasten the eyes!).

Wreath Pt.2: Green yarn & 4.5 mm hook

• CH 32, SL ST to connect ring.

• RND 1: SC 32 (32 sts) 

• RND 2: (DC, INC) X16 (48 sts)

Line the two wreath pieces up (the face should be on the reverse side facing AWAY from you). SL ST into the edge of BOTH pieces.

• RND 3: (BO, SL ST 2) X16, SL ST (48 sts)

• Tie off.

To finish the center of the wreath you can SL ST around the edges of both pieces with green yarn or you can sew the edges closed with yarn and a needle. Its up to you. Just make sure all your tails are tucked between the two wreath pieces to hide them all!
