The Star of Wonder Ornament:
This Christmas Ornament is called the Star of Wonder Christmas Ornament. And this is the first of the six ornaments in the crochet along. I think it is so pretty!
The Star of Wonder Crochet Christmas ornament is a simple to work ornament. It is an easy 5 rounds. The final round is worked around a 3 inch metal ring. This ring helps the ornament keep its shape!
Materials:
For this crochet Christmas ornament, along with the metal ring 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 also need a 4 mm crochet hook. I am using a wooden Streamline crochet hook in Ebony by Furls Crochet.
