With orange yarn:
- MR, 6 sc (6)
- inc × 6 (12)
3–12. sc around (12)
FO, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Stuff each tube firmly, keeping ends slightly rounded. You’ll need 24–28 tubes depending on wreath fullness and ring size.
Assembly:
Arrange the tubes radially around the wreath form like spokes on a wheel. Each tube’s open end should meet at the inner circle of the ring, and the stuffed rounded end should point outward.
Sew or hot glue bases securely to the wreath form. Overlap tubes slightly for a dense, plush appearance.
🕸️ Lace Edge Trim
For a delicate effect, attach 1″ wide black scalloped lace trim along both the inner and outer edges of the wreath:
- Start gluing from the back of the wreath, working around evenly.
- Slightly stretch lace as you go to prevent puckering.
- Press flat until set.
Crochet Lace Alternative:
Using crochet thread size 10 and a 1.5 mm hook, work:
(sc, ch 3, skip 1 st) repeat around for the base, then work (sc, 5 dc, sc) into each loop for scallops.
🦵 Witch Legs (Make 2)

- Start with black: MR, 6 sc (6)
- inc × 6 (12)

10–14. sc around (12)
Stuff lightly.
Curled Toe:
Ch 20.
Starting in 2nd ch from hook, 2 sc in each ch (38 sc).

🎀 Boot Bows (Make 2 – Lilac Yarn)
Ch 10.
Row 1: sc across (9), ch 1, turn.

🕷️ Decorative Spider (Optional)
Make a simple black circle:
MR, 6 sc, sl st, FO.
Embroider 8 legs using black yarn or embroidery floss.
Attach to the wreath’s upper left segment.
🛠️ Final Assembly
- Attach Legs: Insert top of each leg into the bottom of the wreath between segments; sew or glue securely.
- Attach Boots: Sew or glue boots to leg ends, ensuring both curls face outward.
- Add Bow & Spider Details: Glue bows to boots, spider to wreath.
- Hang: Add a loop of black ribbon at the top for hanging.
⚙️ Troubleshooting
Segments tilting inward? → Add extra glue dabs or secure with pins until dry.
Lace puckering? → Stretch lace slightly while gluing, then press flat.
Boots won’t hold curl? → Use thicker wire or add hidden tacking stitches under the curl.
Legs twisting? → Reduce stuffing and ensure even tension.
Gaps between tubes? → Slightly overlap adjacent tubes before gluing.
🧶 Yarn & Trim Recommendations
Best yarns for crisp, structured stitches:
- Paintbox Cotton Aran (LoveCrafts)
- Lily Sugar’n Cream (Yarnspirations)
- Scheepjes Cahlista
For lace trim:
- Wrights Black Scallop Lace Trim (Joann or Amazon)
- Dritz Cotton Lace 1” Black
⏱️ Time Estimate
Allow 8–12 hours total:
- 4–6 hours: Crochet and stuff all 24–28 orange tubes
- 2–3 hours: Crochet legs and boots with bows
- 1–2 hours: Assembly and lace application
Take breaks between steps—letting glue dry before adding more layers ensures a neat, professional finish!
