Crocheted Christmas Ball Ornament (starting in red yarn)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 6 (6 sts) (you can use the magic circle if you prefer as it won’t make a difference in the end. In that case you will make a magic circle and make 6 sc in the magic circle. Watch this short video to learn how to make the “ch 2 method”.)

Adding the Face
Insert your 7.5 mm safety eyes between R14 & 15 of the head spaced 7 sts apart (Hint: Insert the 1st eye. Count 7 sts from the hole where you inserted the 1st eye and insert the 2nd eye. There should be 5 visible sts between the two eyes.)
Using your black embroidery floss and sharp needle, embroider a smile centered between the eyes over R14 of the head. The smile should be about 3 sc sts wide. Watch this short video to see how I embroider a simple smile.
Switch to red yarnR19: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R20: sc in all 18 sts (18 sts)
Finish off leaving a short tail. Finish stuffing the ornament firmly and set aside until you make the ornament top.
Ornament top (using gold yarn)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 6 (6 sts)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: in BLO sc in all 18 sts (18 sts) (This is the only round we will crochet in the BLO.)
R5: sc in all 18 sts (18 sts)
Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing. Since both the last round of the ornament and the last round of the top have 18 sts, the two pieces will line up perfectly.
Using the whipstitch, sew the two pieces together. Add a little stuffing to the top when you are about three-fourths of the way around. When finished, knot the finishing tail from the ornament we left to the remaining sewing tail of the top to secure the sewing and weave the tails into the body to finish.
Adding the Loop for Hanging
Now, we will add the loop on the top of the ornament to hang it on the tree. To do this, take a length of gold yarn and thread it through your tapestry needle. Now, pull the yarn about halfway through the center round on the top of the ornament. Knot the two ends together and then cut the excess tails off. Now hide the knot in the inside of the ornament top by pushing it through the center round of the top.
Congratulations !!
