Hi, Listers,

As I'm celebrating my first holiday season on the List, I am pleasantly
surprised with all of the gift patterns.  My stash of patterns is growing.
 Thank you.  Now I'll add a gift of my own.

This is a very simple, yet pretty pattern for tree ornament bells that I got
from my grandmother (turning 92 on Saturday!), years ago.  I've made them in
red for my tree, and as gifts, but as usual, there's no limit to the color
choices.

HOLIDAY BELLS

lightweight yarn (I use sport)
size 2 or 3 needles

CO 14 st.
Row 1: K10, P4.
Row 2: K14.

Repeat these two rows 21 times, or until you can count 22 "ridges".
BO, leaving a 12" tail.

With tapestry needle, sew together CO and BO edges.

Border of stockinette stitch is bottom of bell, as it rolls under a bit.

At top of bell, run tapestry needle through every other stitch, drawing it
tight.

Fasten off.
Tie in bell for clapper.


Happy Holidays!!
