About This Crochet Landscape Rings Pattern
This pattern teaches you how to crochet small landscape-inspired rings approximately 20mm in diameter using simple double crochet rounds and colour changes. The rings are worked flat in rounds from a chain ring, then fastened off and embroidered to add birds, trunks or buildings. Ideal for using up scraps, they make lovely stackable accessories or tiny handmade gifts.
You will work three short rounds in different colours to create layered 'landscape' bands, then embroider details with contrasting threads. No advanced stitches are required, making this a joyful and accessible project.
Why You'll Love This Crochet Landscape Rings Pattern
I absolutely love this pattern because it turns tiny yarn leftovers into wearable little artworks that feel special and personal. I enjoy how quickly a ring comes together—each one is satisfying to finish in a single sitting. The embroidery step is my favourite part because it adds charming, unique details and lets me personalise each design. Making sets of mixed beach, city and woodland rings is a lovely way to experiment with colour and texture.
Switch Things Up
I love experimenting with different yarns to change the look of these rings; try a fuzzy mohair for a soft halo or a linen blend for a rustic finish.
I often adjust the starting chain to make larger or smaller rings — reducing or increasing the chain by a few stitches changes the diameter quickly.
I like to mix unexpected colours for a modern look, for example pairing a bright saffron with charcoal for high contrast landscapes.
You can add tiny beads or metallic thread during embroidery to suggest lights in a cityscape or dew on trees.
I sometimes work more than three rounds of colour for a taller band and more embroidered space — just add extra rounds repeating the same dc pattern.
If you want a chunkier ring, I use a bulkier yarn and a larger hook and then increase the starting chain to keep the circumference comfortable.
For a delicate stackable set, I use finer yarn and embroider with a single strand of contrasting yarn for subtle details.
I recommend trying embroidered motifs in different positions — birds in the top band or trunks crossing both middle and top bands — it changes the story the ring tells.
When gifting, I pair rings with tiny crocheted pouches or a simple card; I find presentation makes these little pieces feel extra special.
Don't be afraid to mix palettes in one set — a beach ring stacked with a woodland ring creates a playful contrast both in colour and texture.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
✗ Making the initial chain too tight can make it hard to join into a ring; keep a loose, relaxed tension when chaining so the ring sits flat when joined.
✗ Forgetting to check that the chain is not twisted before joining will create a twisted band; always lay the chain flat and confirm orientation before you slip stitch to join.
✗ Changing colours without securing tails can result in loose ends showing later; fasten off cleanly or carry the yarn and weave in ends as you go to keep the edges tidy.
✗ Skipping the weave-in step leaves tails that can work loose over time; weave in all ends securely with your yarn needle before wearing the rings.
