Description
Crochet beautiful home decorations in a contemporary style with these 35 patterns for every season, special occasions, Christmas, and all year round.
Kate Eastwood has designed 35 colourful and natural-looking wreaths and garlands just for you, with something to suit every occasion and every place. There are garlands with flowers and foliage that won't fade after a few days, and wreaths that can be kept on display all year round, not just for Christmas. You can crochet a Heart Garland for Valentine's Day, or an Easter Egg Wreath full of the colours of spring. In summer, a wreath covered in bright strawberries will brighten up your hallway. For the autumn, a ring of crocheted pumpkins will look great on your front door, and for Christmas there's everything from a Mistletoe Wreath to a Gingerbread Garland. If you want a make that will look good all year round, try the Bobble Bunting in strong pastels, or the Shaker Birdhouse Garland in soft, neutral shades to suit any room.
About the Author

Since then she has shared her love of all things crochet on her blog, justpootling.blogspot.co.uk. This is her first book, but Kate has also designed projects for lovecrochet.com and Simply Crochet magazine. Kate lives near Bath with her husband and their two Weimeraners.
Reviews
'From the moment you delve into this joyous book Kate opens you up to the endless possibilities of what you can do with small amounts of wool and an innocent little hook. - Anthea Turner
To say that the book includes 35 patterns is a bit of an undersell though. Every pattern for a gorgeous wreath or innovative garland includes so many individual components that there's nothing stopping you mixing and matching motifs to create your own family heirlooms. - Crochet Now
'I like to see wreaths on front doors around Christmas, but the designs in Kate Eastwood's Crocheted Wreaths and Garlands make me want one on my house all year round.' - Yarnsub
