Knowing how to crochet Christmas decorations is a very simple process that will only take you a few steps. In this way you will be able to achieve an excellent result, making your Christmas tree or other rooms in your home where you want to place them look better. The steps to follow for this are the following:
- First of all, the first step to take to create a crochet bellis to proceed to make a magic circle. Then you will continue with a chain stitch and 6 single crochets under the circle. You will need to use a marker to place the first stitch to begin making your crochet Christmas decorations.
- You must finish row one by removing the marking but without closing the stitch, since it will be from here when you start with the second row of the figure.
- In this second row you will have to make 2 stitches for each stitch in the first row. This will mean that you should have 12 stitches in the second row, and then repeat the previous step until you have made 18 rows. At that time, you can begin to see how the bell shape is seen in the crochet ornament.
- At this point, once you are in row 19, it will be time to increase the points. In this way we can make the outer curve of the bell. You have to do 2 stitches together and five single stitches, until the time comes when the row is complete.

- In row 22 you will have to make 40 stitches, while in row 23 it will be the last. This, which is the auction row, for this you will use slip stitches.
- Then you will have to cut the excess thread, hiding the remains of the thread in the appropriate way so that the result is as expected.
- Once you have done all this process, you will have finished the structure of the bell. Proceed to place a bell inside, and then use a piece of double thread to hang it on the tree or anywhere else in the home. To be able to place it, proceed to insert the needle through the center of the bell, passing the thread and making a knot to prevent it from coming out or moving.
