Day 11 Advent Calendar

I have chosen this pattern from DROPS Christmas Workshop for Day 11
Mostly I have followed the pattern as given on the DROPS site with only a few minor changes. I used Patons Dk Smoothie in Red and Patons Dk Pearl in White with a Silver blending thread. I used a bell that had fallen off one of my cats' collars!
Round 1 - Into a magic circle crochet 6dc, ss.
Round 2 - *1dc in first st, 2dc in next st*, repeat *to*, ss.
Round 3 - *2dc in each st*, repeat *to*, ss.
Round 4 - *1dc in first st, 2dc in next st*, repeat *to*, ss.
Round 4 - *1dc in first st, 1dc in next st, 2dc in next st*, repeat *to*, ss.

Fasten off threads. Attach a bell to Red yarn and chain a length for the clapper. Pull though hole in top of bell and attached with a dc. Continuing with same thread, 15ch to form a loop and attach to top of bell.
