Crochet for Christmas: Vintage Ornament

When I was little I used to spend Christmas vacation at my grandparents
house. Oh how I always loved that moment when they opened up the boxes
with the Christmas decorations! They had the most beautiful ornaments….

I still have some, but a lot of them broke through the years….little kids, a dog
and delicate glass ornaments don’t really go together…
Do you have kids or dogs or cats or other ornament destroyers? Than you might like to crochet these vintage inspired Christmas ornaments.
I hope you like my little early Christmas present. Enjoy!
