Easy Crochet Christmas Ball Ornament Pattern

  1. Start with a Magic Ring: Make a magic ring and crochet 6 sc into the ring. Pull the ring tight to close and join with a slip stitch.
  2. Round 1: Increase in each stitch (2 sc in each stitch) — 12 stitches total.
  3. Round 2: (1 sc, inc) repeat around — 18 stitches total.
  4. Round 3: (2 sc, inc) repeat around — 24 stitches total.
  5. Round 4-7: Single crochet in each stitch around (no increases) — 24 stitches.
    This builds the body of the ball.
  6. Round 8: (2 sc, dec) repeat around — 18 stitches.
  7. Round 9: (1 sc, dec) repeat around — 12 stitches.
    Stuff the ball firmly with fiberfill or scrap yarn.
  8. Round 10: Decrease in each stitch around — 6 stitches.
  9. Finishing: Fasten off and leave a long tail. Use your tapestry needle to weave the tail through the final stitches, pull tight to close, and secure.
  10. Make a Hanging Loop: Chain about 10-12 stitches, attach it to the top with a slip stitch, and fasten off.
