Introduction

Welcome, craft enthusiasts, to this tutorial on how to make a beautiful crocheted Christmas ornament. In this tutorial, we will be creating a crocheted Christmas Bell applic using a three-ply Milan yarn. This project is top-down, meaning we will start with the loop and work our way down. So grab your yarn, crochet hook, and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we need for this project:

1. Three-ply Milan yarn
2. 2.5mm crochet hook
3. Yarn needle
4. Pair of scissors
5. Small bell
6. Small ring (optional)

Step 1: Making the Loop

To start, create a slipknot and make a chain of 25 stitches. Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring. This will serve as the hanging loop for our Christmas Bell applic.

Step 2: Making the Top Section

In this step, we will be working on the top section of the bell. Make a chain of two, which will count as our first double crochet. In the same stitch, work 7 more double crochets. This will give us a total of 8 double crochets in the first round.

Step 3: Creating the Body of the Bell

Now it's time to start working on the body of the bell. Make a chain of two to begin the second round and turn your work. In the same stitch, make a double crochet. Then, make one double crochet in each of the next six stitches. This will give us a total of 10 double crochets after the second round.

Step 4: Adding the Bell and Hanging Ring

In this step, we will add the bell and the hanging ring to our Christmas Bell applic. Attach a small bell to the bottom of the applic by either passing a ring through the hole or using a small ring. Secure the tails and cut off any excess yarn.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

To complete the Christmas Bell applic, we need to hide the ends of the yarn. Hold the yarn tails in between the stitches and cut off the extra yarn. Make sure to tuck in any remaining tails. Your beautiful Christmas Bell applic is now ready to be hung on the tree!
