It’s not Christmas without the happy sound of jingle bells, and it’s not a Christmas Marathon without a crochet Christmas Bell Amigurumi ornament!
You can make this crochet bell in two slightly different versions.
The first one is a simple bell ornament. Basically, you only crochet the bell and bow, maybe attach a little bell inside and you’re done!
The second option is to turn the bell into a Christmas bell Amigurumi with a cute smile, a bottom, and some stuffing. For the Amigurumi version, you can also add a rattle ball inside so that your bell will really jingle with joy!
