Desk Goose Wreath Costume

I love the simplicity of this pattern. It can also be made as an ornament. I made dozens of these last year to give away at Christmas, so it only made sense that I adorn my goose with one this year! If my other patterns intimidate you with all the magic rings and decreases, this one should look a whole lot less complicated! 

Gauge 4 stitches per inch

Stitches used:

ch - Chain

dc - double Crochet

Start with 12 inch tail Ch 62, 

Sk first 2 ch, 3dc into the 3rd chain from hook.

Continue down chain with 3dc into each stitch, fasten off, leave decent tail for closing the wreath.

Run one tail through the center of the spiral and back through the first 3-5 spirals to close.

Run second tail in the opposite direction of first tail, through the first few spirals. Adjust spirals and overall size/look of wreath then tie off tails and weave in.

Add a bow, or ornaments, or whatever you want. Dollar Tree usually has a pack of glitter bows that I love to use for this :

Or you can make your own bow as pictured!

Bow Pattern:

R1: Ch 36, turn

R2: Sc into 2nd ch from hook SC the rest of the way down the chain 35

Fold strip in half:

Cross the ends ⅓ up from either end, pull the top of the loop down to meet the cross.

Wrap the middle with yarn and tie in the back of the bow, use tails to tie to wreath.
