This is my favorite easy to knit Christmas bell pattern.
I make the larger ones for tree ornaments with 4ply cotton yarn on size 6 US needles. I also make smaller ones on smaller needles and fingering yarn that look great on gifts.
Cast on 12 sts.
Row 1: Knit 9, increase in next 2 sts., knit 1 (= 14 sts.) [to increase knit into front without pulling off the needle, then knit into the back, then pulling the 2 sts off.]
Row 2: Purl 6, knit 8.
Row 3: Knit 14.
Repeat rows 2 & 3 to make a total of 15 ridges (rows 2 and 3 make 1 ridge)
Bind off 9 sts, then bind off 2 sts together - twice.
Sew seam, draw up top edge with yarn. Hang a jingle bell in center of yarn bell.
Make a loop on top for hanger.
They're pretty quick and fun to make.
Let me know if you try it.
