Construction overview
Crochet Romantic Lace Wreath Brooch — complete working instructions
Use US crochet terms. Work the component rows and rounds in order; stitch totals are given for shaping rounds, and assembly follows the component instructions.
Crochet the burgundy circular base
US terms: ch = chain, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, sl st = slip stitch, sp = space. Joining slip stitches do not count as stitches. With burgundy yarn, ch 48; check that the chain is not twisted and sl st to the first ch to form a ring. Leave a 15 cm tail. Rnd 1: Ch 1 (does not count), sc in each of the 48 chains; sl st to the first sc. (48 sc) Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each sc around; sl st to first sc. (48 sc) Rnd 3: [Sc in next sc, ch 3, skip next 3 sc] × 12; sl st to first sc. (12 sc anchors; 12 ch-3 arches) Rnd 4: In each ch-3 arch, work (sc, 5 dc, sc); ignore the anchor sc except as anchor, then sl st to first sc. (12 scallops, each 7 stitches) Fasten off, weave tails on the wrong side and gently shape the ring while it lies flat.
Make two contrasting lace accents
For each accent: With blush or black thread ch 16; sc in second ch from hook and each remaining chain. (15 sc) Row 2: Ch 1, turn, [sl st in next sc, 4 dc in next sc, sl st in next sc] × 5. (5 small shell petals along strip) Fasten off leaving a sewing tail; curve the scalloped strip along one side of the wreath rather than pulling the ring out of round. Sew one black and one blush accent to opposite sides through the ring’s base stitches; do not sew across the center opening.
Add optional flower, beads and brooch hardware
Small flower (make 2): Ch 4, sl st to form a ring; [ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sl st into ring] × 5 for five petals. Fasten off with a 20 cm tail. Sew the flowers onto the wreath between shell clusters, keeping the center opening visible. If using pearls, stitch each pearl individually through the crocheted base; secure the thread with a knot on the back, away from the clasp. Sew the brooch bar horizontally to the back through several base sc stitches; the clasp must open freely. Add ribbon bows last. Check that the entire wreath lies flat when pinned to fabric and that no yarn tail catches in the clasp.
Small details that make the finish better
- Choose coordinated yarn colors for the romantic lace wreath brooch design.
