2) A ch3 at beg of the row COUNTS as a stitch

3) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer. Then work in closed rounds.

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

7.5 cm / 3 inch high

9 cm / 3.5 inch wide

The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook.

Cut yarn and fasten off and wave all ends in.

FINISHING - INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

We will use the longer end at the beginning of the magic ring of the upper part of the bell to connect the bead. I tied on a new yarn, gold thread and crocheted a chain long enough to reach the bottom edge of the bell, pulled the bead through and tied it.

If you want to hang the bell, tie a new yarn into the magic ring, crochet a chain approx. 8 cm long and sew the other end of the chain into the magic ring and you will have a finished loop for hanging. I crocheted the loop with gold yarn.

And voila! You made a CUTE LACE BELL!
