Chunky plush yarn in lemon yellow, approximately 200 grams

Cut a donut shape from the brown cardboard with an outer diameter of 16 inches and an inner diameter of 8 inches.

Take the lemon yellow chunky plush yarn and tie a slip knot at one end.

Insert the crochet needle through the slip knot and begin crocheting around the cardboard donut cutout by pulling loops of yarn through the cardboard and the slip knot.

Continue crocheting around the entire circumference of the cardboard, ensuring the stitches are evenly spaced and the cardboard is completely covered.

Once you've crocheted around the entire donut, secure the end of the yarn by tying a knot and, if desired, use a hot glue gun to fix the end firmly in place.

Trim any excess yarn for a neat finish.

Fluff the yarn to enhance its plush texture.

For variations, consider using different colors of chunky plush yarn to match your seasonal decor. Pastel shades can create a softer look for spring, while a mix of bright colors can add a playful touch. You could also experiment with adding embellishments like faux flowers or ribbons to personalize the wreath further. If you're more experienced with crochet, try incorporating different stitch patterns for added texture.
