Love Bugs Spring Wreath

This wreath is inspired by springtime with the arrival of colourful flowers and all their buggy visitors, and it will add a bright and breezy touch to your home. The wreath is decorated with flowers, a bee, butterfly, greenfly, ladybirds and caterpillar. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the wreath and insects are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The pattern is to cover a 25 cm diameter polystyrene wreath. The wings for the bee, fly and butterfly have a slipped stitch edge for a neater finish. The pattern incorporates a provisional cast on, picot cast on, and Kitchener stitch. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
