Turtle Doves Ornaments

"There’s something extra special about pulling out handmade ornaments year after year—especially the ones with a story or a little symbolism behind them. This turtle dove crochet ornament is one of those pieces. Inspired by the classic “two turtle doves” line from The Twelve Days of Christmas and the 2nd movie of Home Alone, it’s a cozy, meaningful addition to your tree, and a fun way to slow down and get crafty during the holiday rush. Whether you’re new to crochet or have a growing collection of yarn scraps just waiting for their moment, this ornament is a great little project. It comes together quickly, doesn’t need much yarn, and makes a sweet gift or keepsake. It’s also a lovely way to add to your collection of crochet Christmas decorations without committing to a big, time-consuming pattern. So grab your crochet hook, put on some holiday music, and let’s make something festive together!"
