Use the yarn tail to weave through the last 4 stitches and pull tight to close the berry. Fasten off.

Assembling

I used a hot glue gun, but you can also use fabric glue or sew the pieces together.

Attach the three berries to the leaf, then position the leaf at a slight angle on the bell. Secure the leaf only partially, with its lower edge resting around round 1 of the bell.

With a piece of yarn, sew the Christmas bells together between rounds 3 and 4. Tie a small knot to keep them snug against each other. Finally, make a loop and secure it with a knot, so the bells can be hung.
