Double Christmas Bauble

Woo-hoo!!! The big day is coming and I am READY! Well, emotionally ready for good times spent with family and friends and the beauty of the joyous season. Physically there are gifts to purchase, plans to be made, and yummy food to be cooked, but that is part of the fun, as well!

I’ve loved designing these fun little Christmas ornaments. They are pretty versatile! Use funky colors for a cool look, make a whole set of 4 in your favorite holiday colors, or make two double sided! Tapestry crochet can be intimidating, but these only use two colors for that part, and the PDF includes some photos to help you minimize weaving in ends.

WeCrochet generously provided the yarn for this project! I loved working with the reds and greens. The Brava Worsted yarn was awesome for these ornaments, and pretty soft for an acrylic. I would definitely order some the next time I have a design in mind, particularly for the tapestry crochet. You could use any worsted weight yarn for this pattern, or you could size down a few hook sizes and make some smaller versions if you’re feeling extra!

HERE IS THE EXCITING PART, EVERYONE!

This pattern is the most complicated pattern I’ve ever designed. I’m thrilled to share it with you, but it will be pretty tricky to get the WHOLE spiel here on this blog post. (It’s 10 pages!) Below, you’ll find all the written instructions for this pattern. If you have any experience with tapestry crochet, that is likely all you will need to get started now. If you are a newbie, though: wait and GET THE PDF FOR FREEEEEEEE! During the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop sponsored by WeCrochet hosted on Crochet Fosbas! On November 3rd is the day for Christmas ornaments! Click below to go to the round up for the free pattern code, and to see what other awesome Christmas Ornament patterns are available free today!

Assembly

Weave in all ends, place circles together, right side facing out. Attach border color yarn in middle of top of circle.

Round 1: sc around the circles evenly, seaming them together, stop when you have at least an inch opening, and stuff gently with polyfill to desired fullness. If you stuff too firmly, it will show through the stitches. Finish the seam and sl st to beg sc to join.

Round 2: (ch 3, sl st next st FLO, sl st next st FLO) repeat ( ) around, sl st to join behind the first ch 3 made.

Round 3: Turn your work, (sl st FLO into next st, ch 3, sl st FLO into next st) repeat ( ) around, sl st to beg sl st to join.

HANGER: sl st in between the ruffles, ch 14, sl st in between the ruffles. Fasten off and weave in tail.
