Single Crocheted Bell

Using sport weight or knitting worsted yarn and a size F or G hook. Starting 2 inches from the end of the yarn, chain 2. Make 8 single crochets in second chain from hook. Place a marker at the end of the round. The 8 stitches just made are counted as Round 1.

Round Two: Make 2 single crochets in each stitch, moving marker up at end of the round.

For each of the next 6 rounds, make 1 single crochet in each stitch around.

For Round Nine: (single crochet in the first stitch, make 2 single crochets in the next stitch). Repeat the steps between parentheses over and over to the end of the round.

For the final round, (make 2 single crochets in the first stitch, then 1 single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches). Again repeat the steps between parentheses over and over to the last 3 stitches of this round.

To Finish: Work a slipstitch in each of these 3 stitches to even up the edge. To finish, work a slipstitch in the front loop of each stitch around. Fasten off and cut yarn, weaving in the loose end on the wrong side.

Draw the 2-inch end of yarn left when making the first chain through to the wrong side and attach a little jingle bell to it.

You can vary the size of the bells by using different weights of yarn and different sizes of hooks or needles.
