Written Pattern Instructions

Crochet Hook

1.5 mm crochet hook

Work in closed rounds, closing the round with a slip stitch in the 3rd chain from the beginning.

Make a magic ring.

If you keep the longer end, you will use it for a hanging eyelet or to tie a bead (not necessary, the yarn can be tied after the bell is finished).

Finishing Instructions and Recommendations

We will use the longer end at the beginning of the magic ring of the upper part of the bell to connect the bead. I tied on a new yarn, gold thread and crocheted a chain long enough to reach the bottom edge of the bell, pulled the bead through and tied it.

If you want to hang the bell, tie a new yarn into the magic ring, crochet a chain approximately 8 cm long, and sew the other end of the chain into the magic ring and you will have a finished loop for hanging. I crocheted the loop with gold yarn.

And voila! You made a cute lace bell!
