Stitch How-To Instructions

Instructions for Ch (Chain):Bring the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front and hook it. Draw hooked yarn through the loop of the stitch on your hook and up onto the working area of your hook.

Instructions for sc (Single Crochet):Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (you now have two loops on hook), yarn over again and pull through both loops on hook (note: this is equivalent to the UK Double Crochet (dc) stitch)

Instructions for dc (Double Crochet): Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over again, pull the loop back through the stitch (you now have three loops on hook), yarn over again and pull through two loops on hook, yarn over again and pull through the remaining 2 loops on your hook. (note: this is equivalent to the UK Trebble Crochet (tr) stitch)

Instructions for Sl St (Slip Stitch): Insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through your last stitch AND through the loop on your hook (through both stitches).

Instructions for Fastening Off: After the last stitch of the last round, cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch end. Draw the cut end of your yarn completely through the stitch & pull to tighten knot.

How To Crochet A Christmas Bell (Written Pattern Instructions)

With Color A, leave a 6" tail start with a MC, ch 2 (counts as first dc)

Note: (If you don’t know how to crochet a Magic Circle yet, then ch 2, and work R 1 into the second ch from your hook)

R 1: 9 dc into MC, sl st to join and pull your tail to close off your center.   Leave 4" tail, cut yarn and fo. (10)

R 2: Join color B, ch2, dc into each st around, sl st to join.  Leave 4" tail, cut yarn and fo.(10)

Note: From Round 2 onward, I crocheted in between the ch 2 posts as opposed to into the “v”s. It shortened the bell a tiny bit, which gave it a better look in the end.

R 3: Join color C: ch 2, dc into same st, (sk a st, 2 dc into next st), repeat brackets around, sl st to join. Leave 4" tail, cut yarn and fo. (10)

R 4: Join color D, ch 2, dc into each st around, sl st to join. Leave 4" tail, cut yarn and fo.(10)

R 5: Join color E: ch 1, sc into same st, 2 sc into each st around, Do not cut yarn. (20)

R 6: With same color E (ch 3, sk a st, sl st in next st), repeat all the way around till you have 9 edging curves, sl st to join.

With your darning needle, weave in your last end.

With your darning needle, thread through your long yarn strand from R 1 (Color A) and pull it through the center of your beginning circle (from the inside of the bell to the outside).

Leaving a large loop, pull your needle through the top of the bell again and tie a double knot on the inside of your bell to secure. (You will have to flip your bell inside out to do this step).

Now you have a loop from which to hang your bell ornament.

Use one of your yarn ends from the center of your bell to add a bead. Simply thread  your darning needle with one of the center strands, thread your bead with it and tie a double knot to secure.
