Christmas crochet

Today I decided to switch it up a little and work on some Xmas crochet. I found the pattern for these ornaments in a magazine (Holiday Crafting by Better Homes & Gardens) that has a million fun holiday crafts for fall and Xmas. The pattern was pretty simple (a ball) with the hanger on top. I think that these would be great in a bunch of colors and sizes. They're also great for using up scraps from your yarn stash since they don't rake much to make. These were made with a size E crochet hook but if you follow the pattern and just use different size hooks then you can make a variety of ornaments. These would also be great for a kids Xmas tree since they're pretty kid/pet-proof (unbreakable and no small parts to eat)! I also found a pattern in the magazine for a snowman that is super cute- that just might be tomorrow's project! Until then... Happy Crafting!!
