CROCHET MINI CHRISTMAS BELL PATTERN NOTES
1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch
2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.
3) Continuous rounds – MINI CHRISTMAS BELLS are worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.
4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.
5) Using a stitch marker: The bell is worked in the usual amigurumi style worked without joining in continuous rnds – place the stitch marker in the top of the first st to mark start of round.
6) This CROCHET MINI CHRISTMAS BELL measures:
2.5 inch / 6.5 cm wide
3 inch / 7.5 cm tall
The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook (as with any amigurumi).
6) You can make CROCHET MINI CHRISTMAS BELL bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.
