After you work the crochet portion of the pattern, the crochet fabric is slipped over top of a DIY plastic Christmas ornament. This helps the ornament keep its shape. The DIY ornament I have used has a circumference of 8 inches and was found at my local craft store.
Materials:
For this Honeycomb Crochet Christmas ornament, along with the plastic DIY Ornament which I purchased from my local craft store, you will need a small amount of a light weight yarn.
For my ornaments I used the Shawl in a Ball by Lion Brand Yarn. It is classified as a medium worsted weight, but I find it on the lighter side. So if you would like to substitute for a different yarn, you will want to find a light (#3) yarn. You will need approximately 20-30 yards.
You will also need a 4 mm crochet hook. I am using a wooden Streamline crochet hook in Ebony by Furls Crochet.
