Christmas Bell Knitting PatternKathleen Day
Knit up this quick and easy Christmas bell. Use sportweight or fingering weight yarn and it will be about one inch tall...great for a pin. Use heavier yarn and bigger needles for a larger ornament.
Instructions:CO 12 sts, leaving a long tail for sewing. Work 6 rows St st. Next Row: k2tog, k4, k2tog, k4 - 10 sts Purl one row. Next Row: k2tog across - 5 sts Thread yarn through tapestry needle and weave through these sts. Pull up to tighten. Use tail to make a loop. Seam the side of the bell. Turn up the bottom of the bell. Variation Begin with a few rows of garter stitch instead of St st, then not turn up the bottom edge. Use a smaller needle for the garter stitch rows; this will keep the bottom from flaring too much.
