Introduction
Welcome back to my channel! In today's tutorial, we will learn how to make a beautiful angel Christmas tree ornament using acrylic yarn and a crochet hook. This ornament will add a special touch to your holiday decorations.
Materials Needed
Before we begin, gather the following materials:
- 100% acrylic yarn
- 3mm crochet hook
Making the Magic Ring
To start the project, we will create a magic ring. If you are unsure how to make a magic ring, I have a separate video tutorial linked in the description box below for your reference.
Once the magic ring is complete, we will chain three. This chain of three will be counted as our first double crochet. We will then proceed to make eleven more double crochets in the magic ring, resulting in a total of twelve double crochets.
Row 1: Double Crochets
In this row, we will pull the string to tighten it and eliminate any gaps. Next, we will make a slip stitch in the topmost chain of the chain three we made earlier. This will complete the first row of our project. Take a moment to ensure that your work matches the expected outcome.
Row 2: Increasing the Double Crochets
For the second row, we will chain three again, which will count as our first double crochet. Then, we will make another double crochet in the same space. Next, we will make two double crochets in the next stitch. We will repeat this process for a total of ten double crochets.
Row 3: Increasing Double Crochets Again
Moving on to the third row, we will chain three and turn our work. In the same stitch, we will make another double crochet. Following that, we will make two double crochets in the next stitch. This pattern will continue, with two double crochets in each of the next stitches. By the end of this row, we will have a total of twenty double crochets.
Row 4: Adding Chains
For row four, we will chain four, which serves as one double crochet and one chain. Then, we will turn our work and make another double crochet in the next stitch. After that, we will chain one and make one double crochet in the following stitch. This process will repeat throughout the row, resulting in a total of twenty double crochets.
Row 5: Creating the Design
Continuing from the previous row, chain three and turn our work. We will make two double crochets, chain one, and two more double crochets in the first gap between the double crochets of the previous row. This pattern will repeat, with two double crochets and one chain in each gap. When skipping a gap, we continue the pattern in the next gap. After this row, we will have eight double crochets on both sides.
Rows 6-8: Continuing the Design
In rows six to eight, we will continue repeating the pattern from row five: chain three, two double crochets, chain one, and two double crochets in each gap. Additionally, we will make one double crochet in the last chain three of the previous row. Repeat this pattern for three more rows.
Tying the String
To complete our angel Christmas tree ornament, we will tie a string to the head of the ornament. Insert a hook into the topmost stitch of the ornament and pull the yarn through. Grab both strands of the yarn and pull them through the loop. This will create a loop for hanging the ornament on your Christmas tree.
