Here's a possibility: www.allfreecrafts.com/knitting/knitted-bells.shtmlThe bell I made had a garter stitch rim and stockinette sides as the pattern above does. The leaves were cut from green felt with two being glued together, then embroidered with a vein down the center, to make a stable base for the pin. These bells would also be fun in a garland.

But it seems doable. Also if you want crochet, google "crochet fridgie patterns". My Mom used to make me pins just like you had, but she used fridgie patterns. I still have the leprechaun she made me in grade school. Christmas pin:
