WREATH – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked back and forth on the needle then sewn together and filled with wadding.
WREATH:
Cast on 17 stitches with needle size 8 mm and Snow. The first row is worked as follows from the right side: Work 4 stitches in GARTER STITCH - see description above, A.1 (= 9 stitches) and 4 stitches in garter stitch. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Continue with A.1 and 4 stitches in garter stitch on each side until the piece measures 54 cm – finish with the last row in A.1. Loosely cast off all stitches.
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the piece so the cast-on and cast-off edges meet and sew them together with grafting stitches from the right side. Then fold the piece so the cable is on the outside. Now sew the long sides together at the same time as you fill the wreath with wadding as you go. Sew the outermost garter stitches from each side together. The garter stitch ridges should be at the back and the cable at the front. Tie a silk ribbon around the wreath so the seam around the cable is hidden. The wreath is hung using the ribbon.
