Materials:
- 5.0 mm "H" crochet hook
- Worsted weight acrylic yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Red, Paddy Green, Spring Green, and White
- Small embroidery hoop
- Tapestry needle
- Pom pom trim or ribbon for covering hoop edges
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Small piece of felt to cover back of ornament
- Measuring tape or ruler

Abbreviations and Tutorial Links:
Part 1: The Crochet Background
Make a chain that has just a bit of overhang across the width of the hoop.
Row 1: In the second ch from the hook, work a sc. Work a sc in each remaining chain.
Row 2: Ch 1 and turn. Work a sc in each st across.
Repeat row 2 until top and bottom has just a bit of overhang. (I switched colors every two rows)

Part 3: Assembly of the Ornament
Trim sides and back of any excess yarn ends (no need to weave in it won't show). Run a small stripe of hot glue along back inside edge of the hook and fold ends into the back. Cut a circle of felt (you can use the hoop as a template) and hot glue to back of ornament. Glue pom pom trim or ribbon along outside edge. Use a small piece of ribbon to hang and you're done!
