I’m really happy how these Christmas bells turned out, so I’d like to share my video tutorials how to crochet Christmas bells with three different designs. The bells are perfect to add to any present to make it more special because anything handmade comes from the heart!
I was looking for ideas and thought the tiny bells attached to crochet rings made really nice Christmas ornaments and they were quite easy to make. I did some experimenting, counting stitches and measuring thread, then settled for these three designs.
I’ve made many bells this Christmas because they are quick and easy, let alone adorable. It’s just a matter of having all the materials at hand.
When I ran out of the tiny bells I ordered them from Amazon, and so far the crafts stores have had enough supplies of 1-inch rings and Aunt Lydia’s metallic crochet thread in all three colors. I use 2 crochet hooks – size 2 mm to sc around the ring and size 2.25 mm to crochet rest of the bell.
