This Santa Belt Christmas Ornament is one of the fastest ornaments I ever made. I love this new free crochet pattern I created. I got inspired by a huge felt ornament I recently saw on a Christmas tree at my hubby’s and I’s favorite restaurant.
I loved the idea and needed to make my own crochet version of this Santa Belt Christmas Ornament. All you need is 3 different yarn colors in worsted weighted yarn, some polyfill and a hook. Everything else I used is optional as you can hang your Santa Belt Christmas Ornament the way you want to.
I used 2 different yarn brands for this free crochet pattern as I ran out of the red caron simply soft yarn. So I improvised and am very happy how it turned out.

Start with hot red (I refer to it as red below)

Round 3: *1 sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st, repeat from * all around (24 sts)

Round 5 – 7: 1 sc in each st
Showing the first several rounds of the finished product.
Round 8: 1 sc in the next 14 sts, change color to sunshine (do not cut the red yarn) and crochet 5 sc, then change back to red and finish the round with 1 sc in each st
Change color to black, but do not cut the red yarn!
Round 9 – 10: 1 sc in the next 14 sts in black, 1 sc in sunshine, 1 sc in black in the next 3 sts, 1 sc in sunshine, 1 sc in each st in black to finish the round
Round 11: repeat round 8
Cut the black and sunshine yarn (you won’t use it again), you will now just use the red yarn
Round 12 – 14: 1 sc in each st

Add polyfill now before the hole gets to small to stuff the ornament!

Round 18: 1 sc dec in each st (4 sts), fasten off and weave in the ends
Optionally: add a top hanger piece as I did with a hot glue gun.
