*Materials*
All weights are approximate and will vary depending on the brand of yarn you choose and how tightly you crochet.
For this St Patricks wreath I mainly used Stylecraft special Aran but any Aran/4 medium weight worsted will work for this pattern.
I used Stylecraft dk for the outside of the beard Shamrock motifs. Any dk/3 light weight yarn will work for this

Aran Spice - (wreath cover and beard) 140g
Aran Green - (hat) 70g
Aran Parchment - (nose) 10g
Aran Black - (belt on hat) 30g
Dk/3 weight yarn copper - (outside of beard motifs) 30g
Dk/3 weight yarn yellow - (buckle on hat) 15g
Dk/3 weight yarn Green - (4 leaf clover) small amount
Drops safran/ fine 2 weight yarn white and black (Guinness) small amount
Heart button for envelope (optional.)
Small amount of Toy stuffing for your gonk’s nose and Guinness.
20cm/8inches polystyrene wreath.
If you struggle to find an 8 inch wreath ring you can use a slightly bigger size.
You may need to work a few more chains at the beginning of making the hat.

This pattern uses US terms and is worked in a spiral so using stitch markers is highly recommended

dc = double crochet
tr = treble crochet
inc = increase 2 stitches in one stitch

dec = decrease. (crochet 2 stitches together)

The finished St Patricks Gonk wreath, will measure approximately
Length 20 inches/ 50cms
Width 10 inches / 25cms
This will of course vary with weights of yarn and hook/tension.
I used a 20cm/8.5inches wreath ring but you could use a different sizes.

It is written in US terms but easy to convert to UK.

The pattern is 18 pages long and contains both written and picture instructions.
