Our Christmas ornament this week is called the Snow Trails Ornament. It is worked using simple stitches such as single crochet and chain stitches.
The crochet pattern is worked separately from the DIY ornament and then slipped over afterward. Then using two scraps of yarn, the sleeve is tied in place.
Be sure to check out the video tutorial below!
Materials:
For this 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.
