Fold the gold ribbon in half. Insert the crochet hook around a few stitches at the top of the ornament, place the ribbon fold on the hook, and draw it through to form a loop.

Thread the ends of the ribbon through the loop and pull to tighten. Tie the ends together with a bow or overhand knot to form a hanging loop.

Weave in any remaining ends.
