Dough Bowl with Ornaments

Christmas Ornament Ball

Everyone loves snowflakes at Christmastime! And this one is more lovable with a photo of a friend or loved one inside. Project uses a small amount of Size 3 yarn and fabric stiffener. Simple stitches (sc, dc, chain, sl st) are used in the round so this is a good project for a beginner just starting out making circles. And to help you even more there is a complete video tutorial to take you from start to finish!

The Wreath Christmas Tree Ornament is a quick and easy work up and a perfect project for the confident beginner! What a fun way to get ready for Christmas! Make dozens of these little wreaths to hang on your tree or make them as fun additions to your Christmas gifts! You could also use them as appliqués on other projects or turn them into a fun banner! -- Easily adjust the finished sizes by using lighter or thicker yarn weights (and smaller or larger hooks).

This crochet patriotic heart (or American flag heart) makes a beautiful handmade decoration for the 4th of July, Memorial Day, or Labor Day. You can use this heart as an ornament as I did, or you can use it as an applique for various embellishments. I made my 4th of July hearts with Red Heart yarn. You can experiment with different yarn weights to make your hearts in different sizes. Finished Size: The heart is about 2-3/4” (7 cm)

Looking for a fun, easy, and quick crochet project to whip up for this Halloween season? Well, look no further! This tiny, baby ghostie could be the perfect little one to make! Add a string, perhaps with a tiny bell inside, and hang him up around the house! The only drawback is that this little ghostie is probably not very good at spooking anyone, since he's so itty-bitty and cute! With a face like that, it'll be hard to draw out some blood-curling screams!

Christmas is just around the corner and crocheting your own Christmas ornaments and decorations, for yourself or for gifts, is a lovely way to get into the festive spirit. The size of the motif depends on the thread or yarn and the hook you are going to use. The finished size of the snowflake in the photo is 11 cm (about 4,3 inches) in diameter. I crocheted it with cotton thread size 10 and a 2 mm crochet hook. Besides the pattern, you can find here a very helpful free blocking template!

I called this the Ornamental Shawlette because not only will it ornament your lovely body, but for some reason when I look at the stitch pattern it reminds me of Christmas ornaments hanging from the tree. The yarn even has a little glitter/tinsel to it! The directions call for a rectangle shape when finished to keep it as a one skein project but if you have more yarn available you can continue on in pattern for a square or even a shawl.

This classic bell ornament in the pictures below could really be a timeless piece to adorn your tree or make as treasured heirlooms for your children or grandchildren, don't you think? It will really add the perfect finishing touch to your festive home decor!
