Bell
A rounded holiday bell with a small clapper and a top loop, a classic seasonal icon. It rings true on wreaths, runners, and ornaments. Open it in the editor to add a bow above, pair two bells together, or surround it with mesh, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to follow row by row.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine bell panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
Reach for the bell when you want a festive accent. It looks at home on a seasonal throw and a festive table runner alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a host, the bell suits a seasonal gathering beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 6.5-by-6.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
