- Yarn: Three colors of 3-ply yarn (100 g ~ 260 m). Suggested colors: red, green, and white for traditional Christmas vibes.

Abbreviations and Notes
Here are the abbreviations used in this pattern:

Pattern Tips:
- Smooth the plastic ring before starting; this will help avoid snagging the yarn while crocheting.
- Work over the tail of the yarn as you crochet to hide it and keep the finished wreath tidy.

- Count the stitches carefully. For HDC, you’ll need to count the “V” shapes to ensure you have the correct stitch count.
