Begin by creating a magic ring.

Top part of bell: ch 2, 7 dc in MR, ch 1, pull on yarn tail to close the ring. Your work should look like a half circle.

Row 1: (bottom part of bell) 3 sc in space created by last two dc, 1 sc in hole of MR, 3sc in space between first ch2 and first dc, ch 1, turn

Rows 2-6: (working in back loops only) 7 sc, ch 1, turn

Row 7: (working through both loops for remainder of pattern) sc in same st, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 2 sc in last sc, ch1, turn

Edge: Continue around the bell as follows: 10 sc evenly in ends of rows until you reach the top of the bell, 2 sc in next st, 10 sc evenly until you reach bottom of bell, sc in same st, sc in next 3 sc, sl st in next 3 sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc.

Adding bead: Cut about 10″ of extra yarn and pull though last stitch. Thread tapestry needle with this yarn and insert through back of first few stitches in last row, put bead on needle. Continue putting needle through rest of stitches and pull yarn through tightly.

Finish off making sure to pull MR yarn tight first.

Cut another 10″ piece of yarn and attach to top of bell using a lark’s head knot. Tie two ends together to form loop for hanging the ornament

(Optional): if your ornament is not laying flat, you can block it using blocking foam (or towel) and rust-resistant T-pins.
