I was going to crochet a spring wreath with multiple flowers and leaves, but when I did the first Wisteria drop, the plan shifted.

I did make some other types of flowers, then abandoned them all to just make Wisteria. The drops are easy to make and rather addictive. The basic plan is similar to making a crocheted worm or spiral.

Make a chain of 30, then chain 3, single crochet into the same chain three times for 10 chains. In the next 10 chains, make 5 chain loops, and in the last 10 chains, make 7 chain loops.

I varied the number of initial chains, experimented with slip stitches instead of single crochets, and changed the ratios of 3, 5, and 7 chains sections. I also tried different color combinations.

I did use some of the leaves I crocheted and applied them to the crochet covered wire wreath, by sewing them on. The bark-like texture was achieved by doing a chain embroidery stitch (I used my crochet hook, with the yarn held behind the wreath.)

I’m not entirely in love with the multi colored Wisteria drops, but we are rapidly running out of Spring here in Texas, and the winter wreath on the front door needed to come down.
