Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosebud5 from My favouite of the crochet wreaths I made this for my daughter who loves foxes. I really enjoyed making all the different elements as it was great to keep finishing things. I usually undertake bigger projects where it is a long wait to finish anything! The only problem was that two balls of Rico 50g in fox was not enough as I did one of the oak leaves in fox as per the picture in the pattern rather than the instructions in the pattern! Also I sewed/tied all of the elements to the wreath rather than gluing them as it seemed a shame to cover the lovely wool in glue.
