Notes

- Numbers at the end of each step (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that step. 

- For this pattern, I tended to crochet between the dc post stitches, as opposed to into the “v” of the dc sts.

- Ch 2 sts at the beginning of a round count as a dc st.

- Please note that I use US crochet terms.

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.

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.
