Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Foundation Chain
Using white yarn, chain 65.
Step 2: First Row
Work 2 sc into the second chain from the hook and into every remaining chain.
Total: 128 sc.
The strip will naturally begin curling.
Step 3: Create the Spiral
Chain 3 and turn.
Work 2 dc into every stitch across.
The increasing stitches create a fuller spiral shape.
Step 4: Add Color
Choose metallic gold, Christmas red, or forest green yarn.
Attach the new color and work 1 sc into each stitch along the outer edge.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Step 5: Shape the Ornament
Gently arrange the crocheted strip into a hanging spiral.
Adjust the curves to make the twists evenly spaced.
Use a little fabric stiffener if needed.
Step 6: Make the Hanging Loop
Attach white yarn to the top.
Chain 40, then join with a slip stitch to form a hanging loop.
Secure the ends.
Step 7: Attach the Golden Bell
Sew a small golden jingle bell securely to the bottom of the spiral.

Tips for a Beautiful Finish
- Use consistent yarn tension for neat stitches.
- Make 80–100 foundation chains for a longer ornament.
- Use lightweight cotton yarn to maintain the spiral shape.
- Adjust the number of curls before attaching the bell.
- Add optional fabric stiffener for a more structured result.
