Step-by-Step Details

Materials Needed

  • Three colors of yarn (any brand or type; the video creator used economical options).
    • Feel free to use scraps or traditional Christmas colors.
  • Crochet hook: US size H (the millimeter equivalent is listed in the video description).
  • Darning needle or tapestry needle (for joining the medallions and weaving in ends).
  • Scissors: To cut yarn.
  • Optional: Fiberfill or additional stuffing material (though the video uses yarn tails as stuffing).

Crochet Process

1: Create the First Medallion

  1. Round 1: Begin with a magic circle.
    • Wrap yarn around your middle finger twice to form the loop. Insert the hook into the circle, yarn over, pull through, and chain 2.
    • The chain 2 acts as the first half double crochet (HDC). Complete 9 additional HDC stitches into the magic circle for a total of 10 HDCs.
    • Pull the circle tight by tugging on the tail, then slip stitch into the top of the starting chain to close the round. Leave a long tail (around 12 inches) and cut your yarn.
  2. Round 2: Change to a new yarn color.
    • Instead of working into the top loops of the stitches, work between the stitches from the previous round.
    • Attach the new yarn and chain 2.
    • Work 2 HDCs between each stitch from Round 1, creating a total of 20 HDCs.
    • Slip stitch into the top of the starting chain, leave a long tail, cut your yarn, and pull through to secure.
  3. Round 3: Add the third color.
    • Again, work between the "V-stitches" that were formed in the previous round.
    • In the first space, attach the new yarn and chain 2. Work 2 HDCs between the first pair of stitches.
    • In the next space, work 1 HDC, alternating the pattern of 2 HDCs and 1 HDC between spaces. Continue around the circle until you have completed the round.
    • Slip stitch into the chain 2 from the start of the round, leave a long tail, cut your yarn, and pull through.
  4. Round 4: Add final details.
    • Attach your original yarn color to the top loops of the stitches, not between stitches as before.
    • Work single crochets (SC) into the spaces, with "long HDC" stitches where indicated:
      • For the single half double crochet from the previous round, insert your hook at the base of that stitch and create a long half double crochet, pulling the loop up evenly.
      • Alternate between SC in two stitches and long HDC stitches.
    • At the end of the round, slip stitch into the starting SC for an invisible finish, and leave your tail long.

2: Create the Second Medallion

  • Repeat all the steps above to create another medallion, but do not weave in or finish the yarn on this piece. You will use this yarn to join the two medallions.

3: Join the Medallions

  1. Place the two medallions together with the wrong sides facing inward and the right sides facing out.
  2. Insert your hook through the top loops of both medallions’ edges and single crochet (SC) the two pieces together. Work all the way around, maintaining even tension.
  3. Leave a small opening to add stuffing:
    • The video recommends using leftover yarn tails from your project as stuffing to save materials and minimize waste.
    • Alternatively, add fiberfill stuffing if preferred.
    • Once the medallion is stuffed, continue single crocheting around to close the gap.

4: Create the Hanger Loop

  1. Before finishing, crochet a loop for hanging the ornament.
  2. Insert your hook into one of the stitches and pull the yarn through, leaving a long loop (approximately 2–3 inches). Pull the yarn through to form the loop while ensuring it is secure. Adjust the length as needed.
  3. Finish securing the loop by continuing single crochets around the medallion.
  4. Use the invisible join technique to close off the ornament:
    • Pull the yarn through, thread it onto a darning needle, and sew it into the first stitch seamlessly to avoid a visible knot.

Special Features

  • Quick project: Each ornament takes around 20 minutes to complete, making it perfect for last-minute decorating or gifts.
  • Multi-purpose design: Use the ornaments as tree decorations, garlands, or even small gifts.
  • No extra stuffing required: The use of yarn tails as stuffing eliminates waste while maintaining simplicity.
  • Customizable: The color combinations are entirely up to you—use Christmas colors, scraps, or experiment with unique palettes.
  • Invisible join: The professional and polished finish adds to the beauty of the final piece.

Level of Difficulty

This project is beginner-friendly but incorporates a variety of techniques like the magic circle, half double crochets, working between stitches, and long HDC stitches. Beginners may need some practice, but the step-by-step instructions make the process accessible and unintimidating.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Take your time with tension: Be mindful of your loop tension, especially for the long HDC stitches. Avoid tightness to maintain an even look.
  • Pause the video: If the demonstration feels too fast, don’t hesitate to pause or replay sections.
  • Utilize scraps: There's no need to buy new yarn. Use up leftover yarn for a sustainable and cost-effective project.
  • Extra decorations: Feel free to add embellishments like beads, sequins, or glitter thread for a festive touch.

Uses

  • Tree ornaments: Add them to your Christmas décor.
  • Wreaths or garlands: Customize the size and colors to match holiday themes.
  • Gifts or party favors: Give these festive handmade pieces to friends or family.

Tip

To ensure a perfectly shaped ornament, take your time stuffing the medallion evenly. This prevents the ornament from looking lumpy or misshapen and enhances its overall appearance.

With only four rounds per piece and a straightforward joining process, they are quick to complete and versatile for any festive need.
