Easy to make crochet christmas

This image shows various crochet decorations — including circular motifs, joined hexagonal patterns, and ball ornaments — made with red, green, and white yarn. These are likely intended for Christmas crafts or festive home décor.

Here’s a basic breakdown on how to make each type:

---

🧶 Materials

Yarn: 100% cotton in 3 colors —

• White (for borders and lattice work)
• Green (for leaves or main color)
• Red (for Christmas contrast)

Hook: 2.5–3.0 mm (depending on yarn thickness)
Other: Yarn needle, scissors, optional foam/plastic balls (for the ornaments)

🧩 PART 1: The Basic Crochet Circle (used in everything)

✳️ Pattern

1. Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join with slip stitch to form a loop).
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as first DC), work 11 double crochets (DC) into the ring. Join with slip stitch to top of chain-2. (12 DC total)
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then 1 DC in the same stitch. Work 2 DC in each stitch around. Join. (24 DC total)
4. Round 3: Chain 2, 1 DC in next stitch, 2 DC in next. Repeat around. Join. (36 DC total)
   • Color change: Cut green/red yarn and attach white.
5. Round 4 (white border): Chain 1, 1 single crochet (SC) in each stitch around. Join.

💡 Optional Scallop Edge: (Skip 1 stitch, 5 DC in next stitch, skip 1, SC in next) — repeat around for a decorative border.

Now you have a round coaster or base motif.
This same circle is used for ornaments and joining patterns.

🎄 PART 2: Crochet Ornament Ball (Red or Green Center)

✳️ Instructions

1. Make two crochet circles as in Part 1 (either red or green centers).
2. Crochet white “cage” or lattice:
   • Chain 6, join to form a loop.
   • Round 1: Chain 1, make 12 SC inside the loop. Join.
   • Round 2: Chain 4, skip 1 stitch, SC in next — repeat around to form open hex pattern.
   • You’ll make a series of chain loops that will stretch around the ball.
3. Join the two circles:
   • Place one at the top and one at the bottom of your foam/plastic ball.
   • Crochet the lattice to both sides using slip stitches or SCs, so the ball is enclosed.
4. Finishing: Add a chain loop at the top for hanging.

🌼 PART 3: Connected Circles Pattern (Table Runner / Decorative Strip)

This uses green inner circles with white hexagonal joins.

✳️ How to Make

1. Crochet several small circles (like Part 1, but stop after Round 2).
2. For the joining round:
   • Attach white yarn, chain 4.
   • SC into the next stitch, chain 4 again.
   • Repeat all around to create open loops.
3. As you make the next circle’s white round, join the chain loops with slip stitches to the loops of the previous circle (connect side to side).
4. Continue joining in a diagonal or straight strip pattern.

💡 Tip: You can adjust how tightly they’re connected by using chain 3 or chain 5 loops instead of chain 4.

🧵 Finishing Touches

• Weave in all yarn ends neatly on the back.
• Lightly block the motifs (spray with water, pin flat, let dry).
• For ornaments, starch or shape the white lattice if needed.
