Crochet Christmas Bell Pattern

Bell Base

Start with a Slip Knot or Chain 4:

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.
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.
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).
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.
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

Cut a Piece of Yarn:
Take a length of yarn in any color you like for your hanger.
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

Make a Chain:
Chain 2, keeping it slightly loose.
First Half of Bow:

Second Half of Bow:

- Work 5 hdc into the same center stitch.
- Chain 1, slip stitch into the same stitch once more.
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.
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.
