Simple Christmas Bell Crochet Pattern

These bells are crocheted in continuous rounds, in one piece, from the top of the bell to the bottom of the bell. If you would like to change colors for some of the rounds I recommend you finish off with an invisible join at the end of each color and rejoin with the next color with a standing stitch (single crochet or half double crochet depending on the round you are working). This will give you a totally invisible join for the colors and make the tidiest finished project.
Simple Christmas Bell Crochet Pattern
Add a jingle bell to the inside to finish the bell design; or attach as a ‘bow’ or ’embellishment’ to a Christmas Gift.
You can also use a piece of ribbon for the tie instead of the yarn which I have used; or embroider on the outside of the bell to add a personal touch.

Note: If you are changing colors at all I recommend you finish off after R7 and rejoin with your yarn for R8. You can use a standing single crochet stitch, or join with a sl st, ch 1 and single crochet. The standing single crochet is less noticeable and creates a more even finished round.

Hi Linda, You can join the new yarn using a standing single crochet or using a slip stitch, ch 1 and sc in the first st. I prefer the standing stitch because it is neater and less noticeable. Here is my video tutorial https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/beginner-level-lesson-9-single-crochet-join/ and photo tutorial https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/how-to-join-new-yarn-with-single/ to help you with this. All the best, Rhondda
I am wondering what to do after the invisible join, when I need to add the next color yarn. I have no stitch to work part of to add the new yarn (I hope that made sense). Maybe I cut the previous yarn too soon?
