I used a coarse, almost sisle yarn for this, as it gave it a wonderful country feel. You can use any yarn you like. To make it fast, I suggest two strands and a size "N" hook.
This page contains the following solutions.
Here is another ornament I made and didn't sell. This one is a crocheted Victorian tree. As most of you know, Americana is tan, burgundy, and navy.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
I need a pattern for a crocheted dove and would like one that is all flat with wings attached on each side after they are done and then it is starched to hang on a tree. Or one that is stuffed, but not too big as it will be a tree ornament.
Thanks to all.

I thought it was great with 9 rows, so it's good to make a dove and then make adjustments. Stitch feet, made with felt beak, and eyes with a fabric pen.

What does 6 points mean?
It's been translated, I've seen this verbiage when using google translate before.
Does anyone have directions for a beginner to crochet Christmas ornaments? I would love hearing from you with ideas. I can single and double crochet.
I found Crochet Christmas Wreath Ornament pattern. It's good for beginner. I had so many crochet books! I thought you might interesting this Crochet Christmas Ornament pattern. Also, this pattern can make a Christmas Wreath Napkin Holder.
Materials:
Yarns:Green worsted weigh yarn, less than 1 skein makes 1 dozen
Hook size:F
Other: 2" clear plastic rings (use shower curtain rings); red ribbon, approx. 1/4"; gold bow; small red holly berry and gold leaf decorations
Directions:
Rnd 1: Sc onto ring. Sc around ring, making sure to cover ring, approximately 42 times. Sl st to first sc to join.
Rnd 2: Ch 4, sk 2 sc, sc in 3rd st, *ch 4, sk 2, sc in 3rd st. Repeat from * all the way around circle.
Rnd 3: In each ch 4, work the following: sc, hdc, dc, sc. After last ch 4, join with sl st to first sc.
Finishing
Weave red ribbon in and out of holes made by ch-4 gaps, leaving adequate ribbon in the beginning so that you can use the end of the ribbon to join to it, creating an ornament string.
Next, tie a gold bow on top (I used the pre-tied bows with the wire string on back)
Glue gold leaf decorations to each side using hot glue gun.
Finish off by gluing a red holly berry to the middle of the wreath under the bow.
Hope you enjoy with your crocheting Christmas Ornament!
Thanks so much for this pattern.This is great! You have been A big help! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS!
I made this for my kids teachers years ago. Very easy.
Get a canning jar ring. All you do is double crochet around the ring,crocheting until the stitches are tight together. the stitches when tight will ruffle very prettily. Then all you have to do is add beads,bells,ribbon what ever you want to decorate this little wreath with. put a loop on the back. Which is the back you choose. you can also put a picture on the jar lid that goes in the ring and snap it in ontop of the yarn. Let me know if you try it. I know you'll love how easy it is once you do the first one.
Lots of patterns here:

1Bell-Leave 10" yarn. S crochet chain 4. Join together at 1st stitch. S crochet in circle. It's like your wrapping the chain 4 15 xs. *Chain 2 then dbl c in each chain around, join together. Increase 2 st in each row (not together) for the next 4 rows*.
At the beg chain * 3 go in the next st sc chain 3 all around the bottom. It makes it look like a lacy trim. I took the 10"yarn looped it so you had enough to hang it on a tree (5") Inter twine in the top st. The left over yarn, string through the bell on the inside. I worked it in the top st and worked it so it does not come out.
After you have made a few you will develop your own pattern and shortcuts. I made over 600 in 2013.It took less then 10 min to make one. I gave them to my elementary school for Christmas gifts. 2 You can also make granny stockings Instead of 4 corners make 5. 3 rows fold in half sew together insert a sm candy cane. Leave enough yarn to hang on the tree. I'm making about 650 for 2014 Christmas.
Does anyone have a crochet pattern or would anyone point me to where I could find a crochet pattern for netting over glass Christmas ball ornaments? Thanks.

There are several choices to choose from, very nice idea.

You could also take a piece of nylon net and cut it in the size square you want, place the ornament in the center then pull the edges of the net up and tie it on the top of the ornament, forming a bow, you could also tie a really smalle silk flower into the bow or even an old dangley earring that doesn't have a mate. I actually bought an ornament that was already made like this, and it is one of my favorites. You can even buy tulle like they use for bridal veils, that has small pieces of glitter woven in and that would work just as well as the nylon net.

I am looking for a crocheted pattern of a dove to hang on a Christmas tree. My preference would be one that the body, tail, and wings are made separately, starched, and then put together. Maybe this is not possible, but any pattern would be greatly appreciated.
It is to hang on a Christmas tree at church in memory of a loved one. We pay $2.00 to hang it and the proceeds go to a charity after Christmas. I would also like to make some for others who cannot afford to purchase a dove or to pay to hang it. That is my quest for this year; to do as many as I can and save toonies for people who want to do it, but can't afford to. I am on an extremely limited budget so may not be able to do many, but even a few will help.
All patterns will be so much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm trying to figure out what it means by points. This patter is most different than what i'm use to reading.
Please help me interpret this pattern! What does points and lower etc. mean? I can only read if it's Double crochet, slip stitch etc... such as this. I really love this dove and want to make it
