Years ago, my grandmother crocheted Christmas doorknob hangers.  I was feeling a bit nostalgic this year and I asked my mother to send me a few photos so I could try and recreate the pattern.  When I showed her a picture of my work, Mom approved and said it looked just like the ones Ma made.

As always, you may use the pattern below to make your own, or you can hop over to Hamlin Craftworks and buy a few!

Materials Needed:
Jingle bells
Plastic ring with a 2.5″ inside diameter, which will fit over standard doorknobs
Red Heart Mistletoe yarn
Size H crochet hook
Yarn needle

Abbreviations/Stitches Used:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
st = stitch
beg = beginning

The Ring:
Round 1:  Join with a sl st around plastic ring.  Ch 1, 76 sc around ring, join with a sl st to beg sc.  Do not turn.
Round 2:  Ch 1, sc in same st, ch 5, *sk next st, sc in next st, ch 5*, repeat from * to * around, join with a sl st to beg sc.
Fasten off.

The Spirals:
Make 3 pieces (2 with ch 50, 1 with ch 60).
Slip bell on yarn and push down.
Ch 50 (or 60), pull bell up to hook.
Sc in first chain, 2 sc in second chain, 3 dc in all remaining chains.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Attach the spirals to the yarn at the start/end point on the ring.  Weave in all ends.

Happy hooking!
