This bell flower ornament crochet pattern combines a small purple bloom, a ruffled lower edge, and two green leaves attached to a hanging stem. The flower is worked from its closed top toward the open rim, so it needs no stuffing.
The contrast between the compact bell and the longer green chain gives the ornament its hanging arrangement. Each leaf is made separately, allowing you to adjust its direction before securing the sewing tails.
The instructions include a defined attachment for the stem and a loop at the upper end. Check the completed arrangement while it is hanging, as the leaves and seams can affect its balance.
Materials for the Bell Flower Ornament Crochet Pattern
- Purple yarn for the bell.
- Green yarn of a similar thickness for the leaves and stem.
- A crochet hook suitable for your yarn and comfortable working tension.
- A yarn needle.
- Scissors.
- Stitch markers.
No stuffing is required.
Choose yarn that lets you form the small stitches comfortably. The finished size, stem length, and amount of drape depend on your materials and tension.
Measure one completed sample before making several ornaments to match.

Construction Notes
The bell flower ornament crochet pattern has four components:
- One purple bell.
- Two green leaves.
- One green hanging stem with an upper loop.
Work the bell in continuous rounds until the final joining instruction. Do not add beginning chains between rounds.
Move a marker to the first stitch of each round. Numbers in parentheses indicate the completed stitch count.
The leaves are worked along one side of a foundation chain. There is no return pass along the opposite side.
Bell Flower Ornament Crochet Pattern: Purple Bell
Use purple yarn.
Round 1
Make a magic ring and work 6 sc into it.
Tighten the ring to close the opening, taking care not to break the yarn.
Count: 6 sc.
Round 2
Work 2 sc into each stitch around.
Count: 12 sc.
Round 3
Repeat the following sequence six times:
- Work 1 sc into the next stitch.
- Work 2 sc into the following stitch.
Count: 18 sc.
Rounds 4–6
Work 1 sc into each stitch around.
Count: 18 sc per round.
These are three rounds without increases. They form the sides of the bell.
Keep the right side of the fabric facing outward.
Round 7 — Ruffled Rim
Into each of the 18 stitches from Round 6, work:
1 sc, ch 1, 1 sc.
Both sc are worked into the same base stitch.
Repeat around, using every stitch from Round 6 once.
Count: 36 sc and 18 ch-1 spaces.
Join with a sl st to the first sc of this ruffled round. Do not join into a chain space.
Fasten off and weave in the purple ends.
The magic-ring end is the top of the flower. The ruffled opening hangs downward.

Green Leaves — Make Two
Use green yarn.
Foundation
Ch 8.
Leaf Row
Starting in the second chain from the hook, work:
- 1 sl st.
- 1 sc into the next chain.
- 1 hdc into the next chain.
- 1 dc into each of the next two chains.
- 1 hdc into the next chain.
- 1 sc into the final chain.
Count: seven worked stitches across seven chains.
Fasten off with a sewing tail.
The slip-stitch end is the narrow tip. The final sc end is the base used for attachment to the stem.
Make the second leaf in the same way.
Hanging Stem
Use green yarn and leave a starting tail for assembly.
Ch 50.
Fasten off with a sewing tail at the finishing end.
Lay the chain straight without stretching it.
For the placement instructions:
- Chain 1 is the first chain made, nearest the starting tail.
- Chain 50 is the last chain made, nearest the finishing tail.
- The starting end will become the top.
- The finishing end will attach to the flower.
The physical length of this chain depends on your yarn and tension.
Make the Upper Hanging Loop
Count ten chains from the starting end and mark the tenth chain.
Fold the starting end back toward that marker, forming a small loop from the first ten chains.
Using the starting tail, sew the beginning of the chain to the area around Chains 10–11.
Make several small passes through the crochet stitches, keeping the loop open and avoiding a bulky knot.
Secure and weave in the tail along the back of the stem.
The remaining chain hangs below this loop.
Attach the Leaves
Count from the original starting end of the chain, including the section now folded into the loop.
Mark Chains 20 and 22.
First Leaf
Position the base of the first leaf near Chain 20.
Using its sewing tail, attach the final-sc end of the leaf across two or three nearby chain stitches.
Let the leaf tip point outward.
Second Leaf
Attach the second leaf near Chain 22 in the same way, angling it toward the opposite side.
Do not rely on one loose stitch through a single chain to hold an entire leaf.
Secure and weave the tails along several stem stitches without pulling the chain into a tight bend.
Attach the Bell to the Stem
Position Chain 50 against the outside of the bell’s closed top.
Using the finishing tail, sew the end of the stem to several purple stitches around the first and second rounds.
Distribute the attachment across a small area. Catch crochet stitches rather than passing the yarn only through the center hole of the magic ring.
Make several sewing passes, then secure and bury the tail.
This attachment holds the stem to the fabric of the bell. It does not depend on a large knot acting as a stopper inside the ring.

Check the Hanging Arrangement
Suspend the ornament from its upper loop.
Check that:
- The bell opening points downward.
- The stem-to-flower seam holds without pulling the magic ring open.
- Both leaves remain attached at their bases.
- The leaves are angled as intended.
- The upper loop does not loosen.
Adjust the placement before completing any remaining ends.
The chain is intended to support this decorative ornament, not to serve as a carrying strap.
Practical Tips for the Bell Flower Ornament Crochet Pattern
Mark the Start of the Ruffle
The final round contains both stitches and chain spaces. Mark its first sc so the finishing join is easy to identify.
Check the 18 Base Stitches
Each stitch from Round 6 receives one complete sc–ch-1–sc group. Missing or repeating a base stitch changes the distribution of the ruffle.
Keep the Leaf Orientation Consistent
The slip-stitch end is the tip, and the final-sc end is the attachment base. Sew the base to the stem rather than catching the leaf at its narrow tip.
Spread the Sewing Across Several Stitches
Both the leaves and the bell benefit from attachments distributed over nearby stitches. Repeatedly pulling through one point can distort that part of the fabric.
Count Before Folding the Loop
Marking Chains 10, 20, and 22 while the stem is still straight makes the later placement easier to follow.
Finishing and Care
Arrange the ruffle and leaves gently with your fingers.
If blocking is appropriate for the yarn, follow its care instructions. Do not apply steam automatically or stretch the leaves firmly to force them flat.
Weave in the tails before trimming the excess. Cutting an unsecured tail close to the fabric can allow the join to loosen.
Inspect the upper loop and assembly seams before hanging the ornament. A gentle pull can reveal an insecure seam, but it does not establish a durability or load rating.
Color Variations
Use pale pink, blue, or white for the bell while keeping the same stitch sequence.
For several matching flowers, use the same yarn, hook, chain count, and loop placement. Record the actual hanging length of the first sample.
Changing the stem length also changes the relationship between the loop, leaves, and flower. Recheck those positions if you choose a different chain count.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does This Bell Flower Ornament Crochet Pattern Need Stuffing?
No. The bell remains open at the bottom, and its shape comes from the increase rounds followed by three rounds without increases.
How Many Stitches Are in the Ruffle?
The final round contains 36 sc and 18 ch-1 spaces. Each of the 18 base stitches receives sc, ch 1, sc.
Are the Leaves Worked Around Both Sides of the Chain?
No. Each leaf uses one pass along seven chains. There is no additional return row or border.
How Is the Stem Secured to the Bell?
The finishing tail is sewn through several stitches around the closed top. The attachment does not rely only on a knot inside the magic ring.
Can I Turn This into a Keychain?
That would require a shorter hanging arrangement and a suitable hardware attachment. The instructions here describe a hanging ornament; assess and test any revised attachment separately.
