Have a fruitful summer with this wreath decorated with an assortment of colourful fruit slices, wedges and berries.

This knitting pattern includes the instructions to knit a wreath cover, and all of the decorative elements you can see in the photograph which includes slices, wedges and halves of fruits including Apple, Dragonfruit, Fig, Grapefruit, Guava, Kiwi, Kumquat, Lemon, Lime, Orange, and Watermelon, plus other whole fruits including Blackberry, Blackcurrant, Blueberry, Cherry, Grape, Raspberry, Redcurrant and Strawberry.

These decorative elements can also be used to decorate other projects, or use them to make brooches or decorate hair slides. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, all pieces are knitted in 100% merino wool DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). Some pieces are knitted tubes (i-cord) which is worked on two DPNs.

You can choose how you cover your wreath with the decorative elements, you can copy the display I used or add the decorations to create your own design. I made each of these wreaths over a period of several weeks, knitting little pieces and building up layers of decoration to make a full wreath with lots of detail and interest. Note that this pattern does involve knitting lots of smaller pieces and attaching them to the wreath, so if you think you will find this too fiddly this may not be the project for you.

This seasonal wreath is one of four of a collection of seasonal wreaths; you can find the other 3 seasonal wreaths in this bundle.
