Crochet Christmas Bells Tutorial
Skill Level: Beginner – Intermediate. The magic ring is used to start the bell’s first round. The main stitch is the single crochet, with increased stitches used to shape the bell.
The tutorial also uses the half double crochet and double crochet for the bow, as well as the slip stitch to join rounds and the chain stitch to create the hanging loop and the bow’s base.
The video also demonstrates how to change colors to create a striped effect on the bell bow. Plus, crochet the string using simple chain stitches. A little bit of knotting and sewing is also needed.
Personalization tips: The tutor highlights that you can “freely coordinate colors to your liking” for the bells other than yellow, like red and green. Also, as previously mentioned, for the bows, you can use either green or red. For adjusting the size easily, always use the super bulky or bulky velvet yarn.
