Crochet ornament - free pattern

Pin It

I hope you haven't forgotten me and my little space here. In case you have, I have come with a free pattern for you to enjoy and remember me for some more time.   

I created this pattern long ago but due to my neck and shoulder pain I had to stay away from crochet and computers for a few days and eventually lost interest in it.  

Today I somehow regained my mojo and completed it. So here is the free pattern for you.

You may use any yarn and a suitable hook. The size of the ornanent will depend on the size of yarn and the hook you use. I used light worsted weight yarns in 4 colours - green, hot pink, aqua and yellow and size E/3.50 mm hook.

I have written the pattern using American terminology.

Abbreviations that I have used are:

sc - single crochet (UK - double crochet)

dc- double crochet (UK - treble)

sl st - slip stitch (UK - single crochet)

st - stitch

Cluster:  3 double crochet (UK - treble) stitches worked together into the same stitch or space

Fasten off and weave in all the loose ends.

  

Join yarn and make a few chains and join them to form a loop. Attach beads or other embellishments. Now you have a beautiful ornament for you Christmas tree or simply hang it on the wall.
