Donald Christmas Ornament

Deck the halls with boughs of holly~ fa la la la la la la la la ~

Christmas is in 2 weeks! This year it’s going to be bit different than last year because my sister is in Europe right now…so we won’t be celebrating Christmas with everyone together. I wish for my sister to have a wonderful Christmas celebration across the ocean!

As I mentioned in Minnie Christmas Ornament, my goal for this year’s Disney Christmas Ornament series is to make 3 characters! 1st one was Minnie, and next up is Donald!

I was able to finish this one fairly quickly because it’s small adjustment to my Mickey Christmas Ornament.

    • white
    • blue mint
    • sunshine
    • red
    • black
  • 1 plastic ball ornament (83mm/about 3.25in)
    • When I first purchased, the label didn’t indicate the size. You can purchase by individual piece 3.3 inch one at Michaels (item #10565775) or 6pc set 3.5 inch one (item #10565768)
  • US G/4mm crochet hook
  • Stitch markers (optional)
  • Glitter (optional)
Notes:
  • You’re going to work in joined round.
  • Number in [ ] indicates number of stitches in that round.
  • The spruce explains very nicely on how to change colors!
  • Size – 83mm (about 3.25in)
  • You can put glitters if you like. It’ll look pretty with it because you can see inside the ball!
  • If you have a yarn weight #3 light, that works as well. (I actually used Bernat Softee Baby for white)
  • Please DO NOT sell this pattern and finished product because Donald Duck is licensed by Disney. It is illegal to sell their trademark character without getting their permission. Please make this ONLY for your personal use such as making for yourself and giving as a gift for someone.

    I was looking for the soft mint color and cannot find it anywhere. Can blue mint be substituted? Are the colors close enough Thanks in advance for any help!

    • Tae

      Yes of course you can use any colors that match! 🙂 The yarn material listed are what I used, and I know some areas it’s not easy to get. I bought my blue mint color at Michaels. Cobalt blue was my next choice if I hadn’t chosen blue mint!
