Christmas
baubles
Crochet
pattern from The Hook Geek
You
will need
a
polystyrene ball
(I
used 5cm but you can use any size you’ll have to adjust the pattern
to fit)
different
coloured yarns.
I
used 5 different colours and they all were different styles of
crochet thread and yarn of different thickness’s. When I used a
thin thread I used it for two rounds and saved the thicker threads
for one round.
Hook
size 2 – a different size hook will change the size of the bauble
embroidery
needle
stitch
marker
This
pattern is written using UK terms and is crocheted in the rounds
using increasing method.
To
increase you will need to put two double crochet stitches in one
stitch. You’ll be making two halves and sewing them together
because this makes a cleaner nicer finished look.
Stitches
used:
dc
– double crochet
inc
– increase stitch
cc
– change colour (this is a suggestion you can change colour any
time you’d like)

all the way around using the colour you’d like to join the two
halves
Try
it on your ball, it need to be a little tight so when the two are
sewn on to it they stretch a little and it keeps the bauble tight.
Once you have made two sew them on your ball. The first few stitches
are a bit tricky but after a few it holds itself on. Remember to
leave a stand at the end so you can hang your bauble.
