Crochet baubles

I saw these and thought ouch! when I saw the price. Instead I bought a pattern from Etsy for a fraction of the cost and got hooking.

Great for using up little bits of yarn stash.


They are constructed by making two hemispheres and sewing them together around a bauble.


Then I went a bit crazy for them...


Thanks for stopping by. Jo X

    What a cute idea. I've bookmarked the pattern for later. I really like them and may have to give them a try. Yours turned out super.

    I love them, they would be perfect for a tree in my craft room, for next year. I love the combination of colours you have chosen.

    Those are lovely, so colourful and pretty. I like their construction too. They are even nicer than the attic24 ones I was thinking of doing. In fact there are other rather nice patterns in the shop as well. The only thing that puts me off is that they need a finer yarn than I have. Very festive!

      I used DK on a 3mm hook which was a bigger yarn size than the pattern but then I made one and went to my local shop with it and found the bauble to fit instead of the other way around! Jo x
