Materials
All weights are approximate and will vary depending on the brand of yarn you choose and how tightly you crochet.
For this wreath I mainly used Stylecraft special Aran but any Aran/4 medium weight worsted will work for this pattern.
Any dk/light/3 weight yarn can be used for the stars
I used Yarnart Jeans for the cardinal. Any fine/sport/2 weight yarn will work for this.

Aran white (wreath cover and hat) 100g
Aran red 50g (hat)
Aran blue 50g (hat)
Aran Parchment 15g (nose)
Doubleknit white 100g (stars on beard)
Yarn art jeans red (cardinal)
Yarn art jeans black (cardinal)
Small 6mm safety eyes for the Cardinal
Small amount of Toy stuffing for your gonks nose and cardinal.
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 increases for the hat but I will include instructions for that.
