Crochet Christmas Bell Pattern

Bell Base

1. Start with a Slip Knot or Chain 4:
   Make a slip knot and chain 4. Alternatively, use a magic ring.
2. Form a Ring:
   Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring. This creates a small hole in the center.
3. Round 1 – Foundation:
   • Chain 1.
   • Work 10 half double crochets (hdc) into the center of the ring.
   • Pull the starting yarn tight to close the hole.
   • Slip stitch to the first hdc to close the round.
4. Round 2 – Increase:
   • Chain 1.
   • Work 1 hdc in the same stitch.
   • In the next stitch, work 2 hdc in the same stitch.
   • Repeat [1 hdc in next stitch, 2 hdc in next stitch] around.
   • Join to the first hdc with a slip stitch.
5. Rounds 3 to 6 – Bell Body:
   • Chain 1.
   • Work 1 hdc in each stitch all the way around.
   • Join to the first hdc with a slip stitch at the end of each round.
   • Repeat this round until you have a total of four rounds (including the round just made).
6. Round 7 – Bell Rim:
   • Chain 1.
   • Work 2 double crochets (dc) in each stitch around.
   • Slip stitch to the first dc to close the round.
7. Fasten Off:
   • Chain 1, cut the yarn, and pull through to secure.
   • Use a yarn needle to sew in both yarn ends neatly into the bell.

Hanging Loop

1. Cut a Piece of Yarn:
   Take a length of yarn in any color you like for your hanger.
2. Attach the Loop:
   • Thread your yarn needle with the yarn piece.
   • Insert the needle through the middle top of your bell and pull the yarn through.
   • Bring the ends together to form a loop, and tie a knot on the inside of the bell to secure.
   • Trim any excess ends.

Crochet Bow

1. Make a Chain:
   Chain 2, keeping it slightly loose.
2. First Half of Bow:
   • Work 5 half double crochets (hdc) into the first chain/stitch.
   • Chain 1.
   • Slip stitch into the same stitch to close the half.
3. Second Half of Bow:
   • Chain 1 again.
   • Work 5 hdc into the same center stitch.
   • Chain 1, slip stitch into the same stitch once more.
4. Finish Off:
   • Chain 1 and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
   • Wrap the long tail around the center of the bow 4–5 times to form a neat middle.
   • Secure with a knot at the back.
5. Attaching the Bow:
   • Use the yarn tails to sew the bow on top of the bell, just below the hanging loop.
   • Secure with a couple of knots inside the bell and trim excess yarn.
