✍️ Detailed Crochet Pattern for “Welcome” Letters
We’ll make this as one continuous cord so the letters are connected, like cursive handwriting.
🧶 Materials
- Cream yarn (or contrasting color of choice)
- Crochet hook: 3.0 mm (or smaller than used for wreath)
- Yarn needle
- Pins (to hold letters in place while shaping)
- Hot glue or sewing thread (to secure letters to wreath)
📖 Abbreviations
- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
🧵 Cord Base
Make a long cord first. You can use either:
Option 1: Corded Chain (simpler):
- Ch until you reach approx. 200–220 chains.
- Go back along chain with sl st in each st → thick and stable cord.
Option 2: 2-Stitch I-Cord (firmer):
- Ch 2, sc in both.
- Without turning, slide sts to right of hook, insert hook into first st, pull yarn behind work, sc across again.
- Repeat until cord measures 200+ sts long.
👉 Make extra length — better to have more than less.
📝 Shaping the Letters
General Tip: Pin cord on a blocking board (or even a pillow) to shape letters first, then sew/glue onto wreath.
🔠 Letter W
- Start with cord.
- Make two tall humps: up, curve down, up, curve down.
- Keep middle dip slightly lower than first and last dip.
🔠 Letter E
- Curve cord into a small loop.
- Bottom should connect smoothly to end of W.
- Shape like a sideways “c” with a closing stroke.
🔠 Letter L
- Pull cord upward into a tall line.
- Curve top slightly leftward.
- Drop straight down, then curl slightly right at bottom.
🔠 Letter C
- Form an open half circle.
- Keep ends slightly extended to flow into L before and O after.
🔠 Letter O
- Form full round loop.
- Keep top slightly smaller than bottom (oval look).
- Connect seamlessly to C and next letter.
🔠 Letter M
- Two humps like mini W.
- First hump taller, second hump slightly shorter.
- Make sure bottom sits flush with O before and E after.
🔠 Letter E (final)
- Same as first E.
- Slightly smaller so word finishes softly.
- End cord neatly, tuck tail behind wreath.
🧩 Assembly
- Pin letters onto wreath in flowing cursive style.
- Adjust spacing so all letters fit across center with gentle curve.
- Sew down invisibly with matching thread or glue carefully.
🌼 Result
You’ll have a perfectly shaped, continuous “Welcome” word across your wreath — soft, flowing, and photo-accurate.
🧩 Finishing
- Cover wreath base with green tube.
- Arrange flowers evenly around (alternating large and small).
- Sew bees on lower left and right.
