Crochet Christmas Bell Ornament

Detailed Recipe

Materials Needed:

• Cream, blue, red, and green yarns
• Crochet hook (size suitable for your yarn)
• Small jingle bell
• Ribbon for decoration
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Instructions:

1. Bell Base:
   • Start with the Bottom Edge:
     • Using cream yarn, chain 6 and join to form a ring.
     • Work in rounds with double crochets (DC) to create a widening circle until the base measures about 6 cm in diameter.
   • Form the Bell Shape:
     • Gradually reduce stitches in each round by skipping every 5th stitch.
     • Continue working until the bell narrows to your desired size and shape.
2. Striped Design:
   • Alternate cream and blue yarn to create decorative stripes.
   • Each stripe should be about 2 rounds high.
3. Top Loop:
   • Create a loop at the top of the bell using cream yarn: chain 10 and secure it with a slip stitch.
4. Decorations:
   • Leaves (Green Yarn):
     • Chain 10, then work single crochets (SC) along the chain to form a leaf shape. Make 2-3 leaves.
   • Berries (Red Yarn):
     • Work a magic ring with 6 SC and pull tight to form small berries.
5. Assembling Details:
   • Attach the leaves and berries near the top of the bell.
   • Secure a ribbon bow and small jingle bell in the center for an extra festive touch.
6. Finishing Touches:
   • Weave in all loose ends.
   • Block the ornament lightly to set its shape.
