Door wreaths are decorative. With them, you can always decorate your entryway to match the season. Usually you can crochet them from leftover yarn you already have and don’t even need to go out and buy extra yarn.

The door wreaths you see below all have a diameter of only 12 cm. So they can also be used as window or wall decorations and don’t look overloaded even on a small apartment door.
Here are a few examples from my shop:


In autumn:
Mini Door Wreath "Autumn"

During the Christmas season:
Mini Door Wreath "Moose"

During Carnival:
Mini Door Wreath "Carnival Cap"


At Easter time:
Mini Door Wreath "Easter Nest"

In spring:
Mini Door Wreath "Roses"

In summer:
 Mini Door Wreath "Paper Boat"

These potholders are very decorative in the kitchen and functional at the same time. The different motifs are also suitable as a gentle cleansing cloth for the face if you use appropriately soft yarn (e.g., a bamboo-cotton blend).

Soon it will be back again—the cold, stormy season!
So it’s high time to crochet a helper that keeps tilt-and-turn windows open!
Klemmi is a funny Christmas gnome whose body shape is made exactly for that. Wedge him into the window gap when airing out, and the banging will come to an end.
The little friend also makes wonderful decor in a door wreath, on the Christmas tree, or as a small gift for someone dear!

In case you want to make your Christmas door wreath truly extraordinary this year, I have two suggestions for you:

If you like something really unusual, then this wreath with clean geometric shapes would be just right.



The wreath is very easy to make and even a crafting beginner can manage it. It is made from photo cardstock, decorated with glitter liner, and measures about 30 x 30 cm.

If the wreath should have a more classic look, then this version would probably be a better fit.



This wreath measures about 28 cm and consists of a base shape and 36 individual elements. It is fun to put together and very easy to make.
