Christmas Bell

My mom sent me a box full of old knitting and crafting magazines and pattern books from the 60's, 70's and 80's. It has been a lot of fun sorting through them! Amongst the rubble I found a (somewhat vague) pattern for knitted Christmas bells. In fact, I found the same exact pattern FOUR TIMES. I guess my mom really liked it!

I knit one and it is super cute, quick and easy.
