You'll need 320 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn for the Wreath Base & Hanger – I used Emma’s Yarn Washable Worsted in the Volume & Barkin Up the Wrong Tree colorways, 5 Yards of Yarn Each for the Leaves & Curly Vine - I used Emma's Yarn Comfy Cotton DK (lightweight) in Canopy (darker) and WeCrochet Dishie (worsted weight) in Honeydew (lighter), an H8/5mm crochet hook for the worsted weight yarn, G6/4.25mm crochet hook for the lightweight yarn, tapestry needle, soft tape measure (gauge is essential) and a 12" styrofoam wreath - I used a green one.

If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr
Gauge (Essential): In Pattern, 31 stitches by 12 Rows = 5 3/4" Wide by 3 7/8" Tall; Will work up to 6 1/8" wide.

Notes:
If you need to adjust to meet gauge, I recommend changing the crochet hook size before changing the stitch count because of how many stitches are in each repeat section. If you need just a little bit more width, you can add two chains to the foundation, and work an extra half double crochet in the beginning and at the end of each row.
*MODIFIED BEGINNING:
Chain 27, then work a HDC into the 2nd chain from the hook, and each chain across. (26 HDC)
R2: Chain 1, and turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, (FPDC around each of the next 4 posts, HDC into the next stitch) 5x. (26 stitches)
R3: Chain 1, and turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, (BPDC around each of the next 4 posts, HDC into the next stitch) 5x. (26 stitches)
The next row uses a modified Cr4F as there isn't a half double crochet within the cable stitch yet. We're going to add it into the next row increasing the total number of stitches in the row, and this stitch count will remain until the last cable row worked. This row will have instructions for this modified cable, and the rest will follow as originally stated.
R4, Begin Cable: Chain 1, turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, skip the next 2 stitches, FPDC around the next 2 posts, chain 1, then working in front of the stitches just created, FPDC around each of the skipped 2 posts starting with the one furthest right, (HDC into the next stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, FPDC around the next 2 posts, chain 1, then working in front of the stitches just created, FPDC around each of the skipped 2 posts starting with the one furthest right) 4x, HDC into the last stitch. (26 stitches)
MODIFIED ENDING:
Row 96 uses a modified Cr4F as this is the last cable work we'll work, and we need to now take out the half double crochet that is within the cable stitch, or decrease back to the total number of stitches we had when we started.
R96: Chain 1, turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, skip the next 2 stitches, FPDC around the next 2 posts, then working in front of the stitches just created, FPDC around each of the skipped 2 posts starting with the one furthest right, (HDC into the next stitch, skip the next 2 stitches, FPDC around the next 2 posts, then working in front of the stitches just created, FPDC around each of the skipped 2 posts starting with the one furthest right) 4x, HDC into the last stitch. (26 stitches)
R97: Chain 1, and turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, BPDC around each of the next 4 posts, (HDC into the next stitch, BPDC around each of the next 4 posts) 4x, HDC into the last stitch. (26 stitches)
R98: Chain 1, and turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, FPDC around each of the next 4 posts, (HDC into the next stitch, FPDC around each of the next 4 posts) 4x, HDC into the last stitch. (26 stitches)
Last row as in video tutorial.
