I have been making some Christmas ornaments and here are a few that I have finished. The icicle doesn’t show up that well in the photo, which is annoying. The yarn has a sparkly thread through it that reflects the light. I will put the links to the patterns that I used to make these. I bought the glass balls at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore here in my county for $1.50 for two boxes. As for the icicle, I will write up how I did that at the end of this post.
The teal blue pattern is one I got from Ravelry as a free download. It is only available on Ravelry. The white one with beads, the gold and the red/white/green are made using the same pattern but I eliminated the picot round and continued making loops and single crochet. The red ornament was made using the Faux Picot Ball Cover by Cylinda Mathews.
The Icicle was very simple to do. If you’ve ever done crochet where you made a curly piece (like those dolls with curly arms and legs) then you can do this icicle. You can make it as long or short as you want by making your chain longer.
Icicle
Using your choice of yarn and hook, chain 30. Single crochet twice in second chain from hook (I go through the “hump” on the back–it gives it a nicer edge). Single crochet twice in each chain to end. Fasten off and weave yarn end. Attach hook or make a loop of yarn for hanging. Voila! You’ve made an easy to remove icicle for your tree. I thought about attaching a clear bead on the tips of my icicles but I can’t find the darn beads. Moving is a pain in the tushy!!! I have things for crafting but can’t find the darn things without a major search. I may add them later when I finally locate them.
Have a great day & happy crafting!
