Pattern
Our Granny Circle Ornaments are composed of two separate panels, worked in the round and joined together with a single crochet. They’re then stuffed to give them a delightful, puffy appearance.
Granny Circle (make 2):
Rnd 1: In Colour A, make a MR, ch 3, work 15 dc into the MR (16 sts), slst to beg st. Fasten off Colour A.
Rnd 2: In Colour B, insert hook into any st, ch 3, work a ps into each st around (16 sts), slst to beg st. Fasten off Colour B.
Rnd 3: In Colour C, insert hook into any ch-1-sp, ch 3, and perform a sequence of modified cl stitches and chains as detailed in the original pattern (16 cl sts), slst to beg st.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.
Assembly:
Position the wrong sides of the panels together, ensuring the outer cluster stitches are aligned. Using colour C, single crochet evenly around the panels, joining them by working a sc in every cluster stitch and every ch-1-sp.
When the majority of the panels are joined, stuff your ornament to give it a cute, puffy look. (If you prefer a more two-dimensional ornament, you can skip the stuffing.) Once complete, slst to beg st, fasten off, and weave in ends.
Finally, attach a hanging loop through any stitch using colour C. Congratulations! Your Granny Circle Ornament is ready to decorate your space or to be presented as a gift.
