Christmas Medallions Pattern

I love Christmas trees, Christmas lights and Christmas ornaments more than any other part of any other holiday.

My ornament collection keeps growing every year! I am so excited to add these sweet crocheted medallions to my Christmas ball and vintage snowflake granny.

Elegant in spirit, these pretty little medallions look wonderful on my tree and also on spare winter branch.

Pretty ornaments made with your own two hands seem to me to embody the very spirit of Christmas!

It will only take 10 minutes of your day. What do you say?

1st Round: start with a magic ring and work (1dc, ch1) 12 times inside the ring; (12dc and ch1-spaces)

2nd Round:  in every ch1-space work dc3tog [Yarn over, insert hook in same stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 3 times, ch3,  fasten off (12 dc3tog and 12 ch3-spaces)

3rd Round (new color): in every ch3-space work 4dc, fasten off (48dc)

I made a hook by crocheting 12 chains.
