Easy Crochet Bell Ornament

About This Free Christmas Bell Pattern

• These bell decorations are easy to make and work in one piece from the top down to the bottom of the bell. 
• We have used #3 light worsted weight yarn with a glitter thread through it for a festive look. However, you can use another similar-weight yarn.
• We have used a decorative thin gold cord for the hanging loop, but you could also use a length of yarn.
• If you don't want to add the crochet bow, leave it off or replace it with a small ribbon bow.
• These crochet bells do not have a clapper, but you could easily add one by threading a small bead onto a thin cord and gluing it to the insides of the bell.
• This crochet Christmas ornament pattern is quick to make and can be made in about about 20-25 minutes.
• Not only are these mini bells great for decorating your Christmas tree, but they also make lovely seasonal gift embellishments.
• This is a free crochet bell pattern and you can find a printable pattern card at the end of this post.
